Hello!
We are currently planning our house, and fortunately, a landing staircase now fits into the floor plan.
We have switched from a steel substructure to concrete and are wondering which stair covering would be most suitable. With the steel staircase, our favorite was oak, but now there are many more options.
The hallway in front of the staircase on the ground floor will be tiled, as will the landing in front of the stairs. On the upper floor hallway, there will probably be vinyl flooring with an oak appearance.
What covering options are available? We only want to cover the treads and are now considering whether to use wood, wood-look tile, regular tile, exposed concrete, or vinyl. How does each floor covering affect the masonry handrail?
If tiled, is a finishing strip absolutely necessary? If I already have a "seamless" tread made from a tile, wouldn’t the strip be more of a nuisance?
The options really seem almost endless… thank you very much for your help!

St33lfight3r20 Jan 2021 18:25Is a riser necessary for a concrete staircase with a wooden covering? Or can I simply fill, sand, and paint it?
@matte1987: Am I understanding correctly that the top edge of the balustrade looks so clean because all family members walk up the stairs without holding onto it, so they don’t touch the top edge?

We don’t rest our hands on the stairs at all when going up or down. I’ve never felt the need to.
There is also a white lacquered glass panel on top, similar to the window sills.

Is it possible to build a railing on the 110cm (43 inches) wide concrete staircase? Which materials are well suited for this?
I would like to have a wall about 10 cm (4 inches) wide, on which the handrail can then be attached.
How can the wall be connected to the concrete to ensure maximum stability?
Thank you very much!
