FAQs

What tools do I need for installation?

You'll need a measuring tape, saw, construction adhesive, sandpaper, and finishing supplies (stain, varnish, etc.).

Can I install this myself, or do I need a professional?

The installation is designed to be DIY-friendly, but basic woodworking skills are required. If you're not comfortable with this, consider hiring a professional.

What type of finish should I use?

You can use any wood finish you prefer, such as stain, varnish, lacquer, or oil. Choose a finish that suits your home's style and provides the desired level of protection.

How do I clean the oak cladding?

Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

How many sets do I need?

Each set covers one step (one tread and one riser). Calculate the number of steps in your staircase and purchase the corresponding number of sets.

What are the dimensions of the tread and riser?

The tread measures 1000 x 270 x 22mm, and the riser measures 1000 x 230 x 9mm.

Is the oak pre-finished?

No, the oak is supplied raw and requires finishing (staining, varnishing, etc.) to achieve your desired look.

Can I use this on a curved staircase?

This set is designed for straight staircases. Modifying it for curved stairs may be challenging and require professional assistance.

Troubleshooting

Tread or riser doesn't fit correctly.

Double-check measurements and recut if necessary. Ensure the existing step is level.

Adhesive isn't holding the pieces in place.

Ensure the surfaces are clean and use an appropriate construction adhesive. Consider adding temporary supports while the adhesive dries.

Finish is uneven or blotchy.

Prepare the surface by sanding evenly before finishing. Apply multiple thin coats, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
