Until recently, I had no idea this was possible, but since I learned that wooden treads can be installed on a concrete staircase, I have become quite interested in this idea.

Specifically, it is about a concrete staircase with 14 steps, quarter-turn.

We definitely cannot do this ourselves.

What cost range would you estimate for this?

Unfortunately expensive.....

Solid oiled oak, 45mm (1.8 inches), tread and riser, flush without undercut:

Approx. 5,500 - 6,000 EUR net, so about 7,000 gross.

Tread only: approx. 2,700.

Stringers and railing on top ...

our requests – net price per step plus priming, measurement, and installation – we did not like the railing options from any stair builder

Treads:
Beech 55€
Oak 70€
Walnut 180€ (supposedly always needs to be quoted based on current market prices)

Risers:
Beech white lacquered 30€

For us: 15 steps covered with white beech, including labor: 2.1 K net.

Here is a brief update on our ground floor to first floor staircase, unfortunately only a photo taken with a phone for now.

Modern wooden steps staircase on white wall, metal handrail, long wooden bench in front.


  • Solid oak wood steps
  • Finger-jointed lamellas
  • Pre-glued angled steps
  • Natural oiled finish
  • Treads and risers
  • 40 mm (1.6 inches) thickness
  • 16 risers
Includes integrated bench as a continuation of the 1st and 2nd tread and riser (this is great!)

The 3-part glass enclosure is still missing. Unlike in the photo, the painter has already finely finished the steps.

The staircase is quite steep and has a narrow tread depth, but we are managing well with it.

The steps were adjusted using two thick Spax screws each into the concrete, on which the steps rest on the screw heads. Steps 3 to 8 were glued on site as a single folding element (with lamella connectors under the riser), followed by further elements from the bottom upwards. The staircase was assembled and disassembled about 15 times to ensure everything fit. It was finally glued and fixed (to the concrete) with Ponal static adhesive, solid and firm without any hollow sounds.

In short: labor-intensive—and unfortunately one of the most expensive ways to enhance a new concrete staircase….

Work involved for 2 staircases:
1 day for measuring and planning
3 days for preparation and delivery
2 days installation with 4 people (!) (for 2 staircases)
Half a day for finishing work, oiling, etc.

+ 3 additional painting sessions (filling, painting, wall connection).
+ some sill work by the tiler...

Once the laminated safety glass (VSG) arrives, I will share more pictures. Glass for the first to second floor staircase arrives tomorrow. Ground floor glass will take longer, as precise measurements after installation are scheduled for tomorrow.
