Renovation of Floor and Stairs: Combines Effect

​
Floors and stairs are integral to the overall decor of your home. You should not spend a fortune on flooring and then ignore the stairs. The combined renovation of both of these features can enhance the look of your home.

​

They can be matched or have different color combination to improve the look. But most of all, floors and stairs must have safe surfaces for the family members.

Whether you install hardwood flooring or marble tiles, you got to consider the fact that floors can cause injury. A marble floor may provide luxury look but can cause bone injuries.

​

Excessively polished marble floors can be dangerous especially for kids and pregnant women. So, not only do you have to consider the decor aspect but also pay importance to the safety of the flooring.

Stairs
Stairs consist of mainly three parts: risers tread and handle bars. All three must be in perfect harmony and provide a great look when combined. The tread is where you put your foot. The riser is situated at an angle of ninety degrees to the tread.

​

Tread actually is the height of one step. Handle bars represent the security aspect of the stairs. The setup is pretty simple. But every stair is unique and special s per owner's preferences.

The tread and risers can be both typesetting and solid. These two are the major choices available to homeowners. The solid tread is one piece and can be easily ordered as per the size and material requirements.

The typesetting risers offer less flexibility in terms of size because most people use standard riser size. When you are installing new floor and stairs, you can ask the company to send in a contractor to display the best options in the materials and size of the floor and stairs.

Both risers and treads have to be installed and then polished. This requires you to hire a professional to sand away and extract out the real look from beneath. After the sanding is done, the varnish and polish are applied. This will finally give you the look you want from your fllor and stairs.

Flooring
Flooring is the most expensive and comprehensive part of your home. There are many options available here. You can choose from marble, sandstone, quartz, mosaic, hardwood etc. Flooring has to be installed by professionals.

Even if you prefer do-it-yourself, you should look for a professional contractor because these people are professionals. They install floors with great precision and accuracy. The level management, installation, polishing and final preparation is all handled well by these professionals.

Wooden flooring is considered safer. The impact delivered to the bone during a fall is far less on wooden floors. On the other hand, hard marble floors do not offer any cushion to the bones during a fall.

​

But wooden flooring requires heavy maintenance and can corrode easily over a period of time. It is also expensive when you consider some exotic woods are to be sourced from other countries.​
