Choosing a tree for the stairs to the house

Wooden stairs have been very popular in the interior design of the house for many years. A variety of shapes and a wide range of wood species allow you to create very original compositions. However, it is worth considering a decision regarding a specific type of wood. In today's article, we will try to advise you which types are better to choose.

What kind of wood is suitable for wooden stairs?
The most popular breed is definitely oak. Primarily due to its high hardness and durability. Oak is resistant to mechanical damage and abrasion. This is of great importance for stairs, which are used quite intensively. Also noteworthy is the very beautiful color and texture of the wood, which retains its appearance for many years. In addition, oak can be tinted in one of the many colors, which provides great opportunities for non-standard interior design. The main disadvantage of oak wood is its high price. Another popular type used to make wooden stairs is ash. It is characterized by high hardness. Experts recommend choosing a darker-colored raw material. In the case of light ash wood, periodic treatment of its surface with special preparations is necessary. Cherries also deserve attention. This type of wood has a pleasant red color. Cherry is hard and durable, so it is ideal for stairs. This look gives the interior a slightly exotic atmosphere. Speaking of exotics, it is worth noting that rocks such as mahogany, Brazilian cedar or American walnut are often used in the production of stairs. They are a combination of high strength with a spectacular appearance. Unfortunately, the wood of these species is sometimes even several times more expensive than European raw materials.

What kind of wood is not suitable for stairs?
Pine, birch and maple are the rocks that should be avoided when building wooden stairs. Pine is characterized by high hardness, but it is not very resistant to moisture. Water significantly reduces its strength. Stairs made of pine wood require frequent maintenance and protective treatments. Maple is flexible and durable. Unfortunately, it is also a very soft type of wood. This is a serious disadvantage in conditions of prolonged loads. Birch is also very soft. It is very attractive due to the light color of the wood, but it is not suitable as a building material for stairs. Le bonus de bienvenue Melbet séduit par sa générosité et sa simplicité d’accès.
