Our treads are custom matched and run at the same time as your flooring so there s no concern of not getting the same color and or texture.
Matching stairs to hardwood floors.
After you ve spent countless months picking out your new hardwood floor it s time to start thinking about the hardwood stairs that you are going to install after all the wood floors are the foundation for the overall design.
Over time hardwood floors are likely to receive their fair share of nicks and scratches.
If you want a seamless end result choose the same species of lumber and use the same stain for the flooring and stair parts.
Use a foam brush to apply the stain and wipe with a lint free cloth.
Here are some options for designing your staircase to coordinate with your hardwood flooring.
Choose the right species of wood the first step to matching stair treads to prefinished flooring is using the same species of wood.
For example in our new house we are using sea smoke from adm flooring.
Our red oak stains are designed to match the most popular stain colors used on hardwood flooring.
Generally if you have oak hardwood flooring provided that you match the existing species and grade you can generally refinish the wood to match the stain on the existing portion.
If there were existing hardwoods underneath the carpet sand them before re staining.
This is the most obvious solution to coordinating your flooring and staircase.
Finding a right match for your hardwood flooring is as easy as ordering a red oak sample pack which includes our six eloquent stain colors as well as a natural prefinished clear and unfinished sample.
Stain and clear coat your stairs to give them long lasting appeal.
These isolated mishaps can be fixed with the simple use of stain pens.
Similar to paint pens stain pens need to be shaken before use.
Unfortunately with all prefinished manufacturers obtaining such is a near impossibility.
