Hello,

we have a small open gallery and recently installed a steel stringer staircase.
There are screws sticking out now, which doesn’t look good visually. I’ve attached some pictures for reference.
Do you have any ideas on how to fix this?

Thank you for your responses.

The photo is one week old, and in the meantime, the flooring installer has fitted a finishing strip.

I scheduled another appointment today with the stair builder, who will take another look and propose a solution.

If the plaster edge finishes flush with the wood cleanly, I would just leave it like that, yes. Why introduce a third material?

I’m not a professional. But to my untrained eye, it currently doesn’t look like the plaster finishes cleanly, nor does the joint edge of the parquet. I have no idea how precisely this can be done. However, there is usually some movement between plaster and wood that is not rigid and permanent. Wood expands and contracts noticeably. That’s why finishing strips are installed.

...ok, I was too quick...

...unnecessary extension due to lack of characters.

P.S.: please take a photo showing the baseboard.

I have already written more about this in an earlier post.

I'll send a picture later when I’m at the house.

This is the current status of the gallery
