ᐅ Which type of staircase did you choose?

Is it more affordable than a purely wooden staircase? What is the difference or advantage compared to a staircase made entirely of wood?

It’s probably more expensive, but you save on a construction staircase. I think the advantages are durability and mass (sound insulation). We wanted a closed staircase; a purely wooden one was neither offered to us nor did it occur to us.

We have the good steel stringer staircase. The metal is painted in dark gray, and the treads are made of beech wood, stained in a dark chocolate brown.
The staircase looks great, but every speck of dust is clearly visible on it.

Could you please share a photo of your staircase here? Did you paint the staircase yourselves?

Best regards,

In my avatar, you can see the staircase, although the steps are still made of construction timber.
Is that enough for you, or should I upload another photo?
We painted the steel ourselves. That’s how it goes with painting work when it’s done by the builder. The paint cost around 10€ to 20€, not significant. The stain was applied by the stair builder.

I am curious about how you handled the dark-colored steps. Did you use a brush or a roller?

Best regards,

We have a steel staircase painted in RAL 7011 (grey) with anthracite-colored Resopal treads. Since there are still temporary construction steps on it and the staircase hasn’t been painted yet, I will provide photos next month. Then you can see how something like this looks with dark treads...
