Hello,

the range of staircases is very large, and we don’t like the yellow-orange colored beech staircases so much. Which staircase did you choose, and are you satisfied with it?

Best regards,
Sabine

I’m curious about the dark stairs. Did you apply the finish with a brush or a roller?

With a brush! You can see the brush strokes, but that’s intentional

Thank you for the photos! I really like your staircase, the railing is beautiful. Your steps look like new—aren't they quite slippery without stair mats? Is that beech wood stained in walnut color?

Best regards,

Yes, they still look very good. We also avoid walking on them with shoes, but of course it happens sometimes when something has been forgotten upstairs.
They are a bit slippery, and the staircase sways slightly when walking. However, since we don’t have children, it is still manageable.

It is beech wood, but not finger-jointed (or whatever the correct term is), so it’s an upgrade.
According to the construction specifications, this finger-jointed version is usually offered (as shown in #61).

What advantage does that have, the appearance?

We have chosen a combination of polished concrete and wood.
