Staircase – the heart of the house!

It is often said that a staircase is an expensive pleasure. Indeed, a quality staircase requires a lot of investment. On the other hand, a staircase is the heart of the house! In order for the staircase to be safe, comfortable, durable, and to retain its original appearance for many years, one should remember a few tips and discuss them with the builders at the beginning of the construction of the house.

First of all, you should plan the staircase as early as possible. Only if a staircase is properly designed and installed in the right place, it will be comfortable to use and will meet all technical requirements. An important aspect is the direction of the stairs, it depends on the layout of both first and second floors.

You can call staircase experts after building the walls and the roof of the house, after installing doors and windows, but before starting the decoration work. Therefore, it will be easier for them to carry out all your plans and visions. This step is especially important if your house is small – when designing a staircase you will avoid demolition of already constructed walls, widening holes, etc.

When renovating a house, discuss the future staircase with specialists even before the start of the reconstruction

There should be no heating devices (fireplaces, radiators, etc.) installed around or under the staircase. Wood can deform or crack under the influence of heat. Generally, any temperature fluctuations can damage the wood and affect the overall appearance of the staircase.

After agreeing all the details and confirming the project, postpone the installation of the staircase until the end of the construction work. It is usually recommended to install a staircase before the penultimate painting of the walls. This will help to avoid any damage caused to stairs and walls

It is also important to leave enough time for the surfaces to dry after concreting and plastering works are finished. The shortest drying period in the heated rooms is three weeks. If the room is unheated, unventilated, it will take much longer. Patiently adhere to these recommendations, there is no need to hurry, because humidity and wood are simply incompatible.

To be able to enjoy the staircase for many years, provide it with proper care. Manufacturers recommend to clean wooden surfaces in a dry way (instead of wet cleaning), to choose cleaning agents that do not contain nitrosolvents. The metal parts of the ladder should be cleaned with products intended for stainless steel.
