Matching Stairs To Hardwood Floors

These isolated mishaps can be fixed with the simple use of stain pens.

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. Use a foam brush to apply the stain and wipe with a lint free cloth. If there were existing hardwoods underneath the carpet sand them before re staining. 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.

This assumes you hire a professional hardwood sanding company. For example in our new house we are using sea smoke from adm flooring. Similar to paint pens stain pens need to be shaken before use. This is the most obvious solution to coordinating your flooring and staircase.

If you want a seamless end result choose the same species of lumber and use the same stain for the flooring and stair parts. Over time hardwood floors are likely to receive their fair share of nicks and scratches. Stain and clear coat your stairs to give them long lasting appeal. This is very important because stains can look very different on different types of wood.

Choose the right species of wood the first step to matching stair treads to prefinished flooring is using the same species of wood. Unfortunately with all prefinished manufacturers obtaining such is a near impossibility. 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. Offered with all of our unfinished and prefinished natural or stained hardwoods are matching stair treads and risers.
