How to cover a concrete staircase in a non-residential premises. Advantages of monolithic steps

Concrete stairs are strong, durable and reliable. They are not affected by cold and moisture, fire resistant. Their only drawback is not very attractive appearance. To fix it, finishing is carried out concrete stairs.

Facing stairs can be carried out with the following materials:

• wood;
• laminate;
• tiles (mosaic, porcelain stoneware);
• natural stone (marble);

most popular in residential buildings is wood paneling. Such a coating can stand for decades, subject to all manufacturing standards.

But one should not think that finishing concrete stairs with wood is cheaper than making a product from scratch from an array. In practice, it is possible to save money only on the thickness of the steps, which in this case can be made a centimeter thinner. As a rule, the price of such a cladding will be higher and much more time will be spent. This is explained by concrete steps it is impossible to make perfectly even and completely identical, no matter how carefully the formwork is performed. Therefore, facing the steps is an extremely time-consuming process, especially if you do everything yourself.

You also need to remember that the concrete staircase should dry well enough for at least three months, and preferably one heating season. If this requirement is not met, then over time the steps will deform, and the concrete itself will begin to crumble.

If in the future the stairs will be finished with marble, wood or other material, then this must be taken into account even at the design stage, which should be carried out with the expectation that the step coating also has its own thickness.

A fairly common mistake in the manufacture of concrete stairs is the lack of a gap between the marches. This creates additional difficulties when installing railings. The distance between marches must be at least 75 cm.

Formwork for concrete stairs should be as precise as possible. The difference in the height of the steps should not exceed 9.5 mm, otherwise, in the future it will be very difficult to eliminate. To make the surface as even as possible, moisture-resistant plywood with a smooth surface is used for formwork.

Following these rules will make it easier for you further work from monolithic staircase built from concrete .

Facing a concrete staircase with your own hands - step by step instructions

Finishing steps - preparatory stage

As mentioned above, a perfectly flat concrete staircase with exactly the same steps is a goal that is practically unattainable. Therefore, all steps are measured first and the highest of them is selected. And then all the rest are adjusted to its size with a self-leveling floor compound.

If the difference is small, then the mixture is simply applied to the surface of the step. Even if they are all approximately the same in height, the concrete surface must still be leveled as much as possible.

If the difference in height is more than a centimeter, it is necessary to make a formwork for the step from 4 mm thick plywood, which is fixed with dowels so that its upper edge coincides with necessary level.

Before pouring with a leveling mixture, it is necessary to clean the steps of debris and prime them to improve adhesion. Only after the primer has dried is the filling done.

Facing stairs - laying plywood

After the surface has dried well, you can proceed to the second stage of facing the steps of the concrete stairs, which consists in fixing the plywood. Plywood will act as a moisture-proof layer and will not allow wooden linings to gain excess moisture.

1. Prime the surface again and let the primer dry.
2. According to the size of the steps, we cut out blanks from a sheet of plywood with a thickness of 10 - 15 mm.
3. We apply adhesive mastic on the surface of the concrete step, put plywood on top and fix it with a dowel. Plywood is laid out according to the level.

Sheathing a concrete staircase with wood - solid wood steps

First of all, you need to do it yourself, or order the steps themselves in the workshop. For tread complex shape, it is better to pre-prepare a template from plywood or thick cardboard, which will greatly facilitate it later.

The actual finishing of the concrete staircase with wood starts from the bottom, as shown in the photo. We screw 3 bolts with a diameter of 6 mm into the lower end of the riser so that they protrude from it by about 6–8 cm. We drill holes of the appropriate diameter there. We fill the holes epoxy resin. We coat the plywood with glue, for which we use “liquid nails”, and put the facing board.

In the step, in the place where the riser will rest against it, we cut out a groove of the required depth. Using self-tapping screws, we fix the second riser on the steps. We coat the surface of the plywood and the groove with glue and install the first step. We check it by level, if necessary, slightly correct it. So we move up to the end of the stairs.

No matter how carefully you perform wood cladding, a gap remains on the side of the step. It can be sealed mounting foam, which is subsequently masked with putty.

If the staircase is located near the wall, it is advisable to make a galoshnitsa (boot) from the same wood as the steps.

Finishing stairs with laminate - an interesting alternative

Although laminate is a popular floor covering, it is not intended for sheathing stairs. The small area of ​​the step does not allow it to be laid in a floating way in compliance with all the rules of technology. The thickness of the laminate board is too small, so it is not possible to fix it in the same way as the wooden one. In addition, the flooring for steps is too smooth, and the foot can slide on it.

However, finishing stairs with laminate is much cheaper than wood, which is why some craftsmen go for it.

Video: cladding stairs with laminate

The surface should be as level as possible and free from debris and dust. For better adhesion to the concrete surface, the bottom layer of the laminate board is removed, which is also not very good. This is a stabilizing layer that protects against dampness coming from below and deformation.

Next, the surface is smeared with glue and covered with a laminate cut to the size of the concrete steps. The end edges and the junction of the tread and riser are made with metal or plastic corners of the appropriate configuration.

Finishing concrete stairs with tiles

Ceramic steps for stairs

Often, to cover the stairs using ordinary floor tiles, which is categorically false. The problem is that stair steps experience increased stress, so tiles should be selected for hardness and abrasion resistance.

Tiles for facing steps must correspond to the 5-6 class on the Mohs scale and have abrasion resistance, which corresponds to the 5th category.

Sheathing the stairs with ordinary ceramics leads to the fact that individual vertical tiles fall off, unable to withstand the load, and those laid horizontally break off along the edge. Based on this, it is much more profitable to buy time-tested clinker steps for stairs.

Clinker tiles for stairs

Clinker ceramic steps are stair tiles with an edge rounded to the riser. Only this option provides both safety, strength, and an attractive appearance at the same time.

Clinker tiles are made in several ways, but the extrusion method is most often used. Via special device- extruder viscous mixture based on clay is squeezed out through a shaping hole, the configuration of which corresponds to the dimensions of the product.

The production of clinker steps by pressing is not much different from the production of conventional ceramic tiles and does not require additional explanation. Both technologies make it possible to obtain high-quality facing material, but products obtained by extrusion are superior in their characteristics to "pressed" ceramics.

Advantages of extrusion clinker:

• extruded products have high density material and, as a result, resistance to temperature extremes, which is extremely important in our climatic zone;
• the technological process makes it possible to obtain models of the most complex shapes and use them in decorating stairs, facing irregularly shaped steps, including round ones;
• extruded ceramics are known for their anti-slip surface. It has a embossed or rough texture that prevents slipping. The exception is ceramic steps imitating natural materials, for example, wood;
• the strength of such products is practically similar to porcelain stoneware. This determines the advantage of laying clinker steps in places with high traffic and other difficult operating conditions.

Facing steps with ceramic tiles - how to lay them correctly

Laying clinker steps begins with a preparatory stage, approximately the same as when working with wood. It is better to immediately adjust the size of the steps to the dimensions of the tile, otherwise it will have to be cut.

Remove the tiles from different packages and mix. Be sure to follow the recommendations for the width of the seam. In order for you to get even seam lines, lay out the tiles, focusing on the direction of the grooves with back side. Before starting the installation of clinker steps, compare the marking and color of the tiles indicated on the package.

Facing stairs: 1 - laying edge tiles; 2 - horizontal; 3 - vertical tiles and sealing joints.

First, horizontal elements are laid, starting from the top of the flight of stairs, then vertical ones. The corner of the step can be processed with a metal or plastic corner. When the tiles are laid, the seams are cleaned and filled with a special grout.

one). The vertical tile must necessarily go beyond the ledge of the step;
2). For ideal water flow, it is recommended to lay the tiles at a slope of 1-2%;
3). We recommend mounting clinker steps with an air gap of 3-4 mm.

Video: installation of clinker steps - laying tiles on the stairs

Facing stairs with stone, mosaic, marble, granite or other coatings is no different from the methods described above. And it has no real advantages. Therefore, let the choice of staircase finishing option be based only on your aesthetic preferences.

Concrete stairs, like all concrete products, are strong, durable, reliable products, only the color wants to be the best and you want to get the project without gross errors in order to increase user safety. Finishing concrete stairs with wood is very similar to the process of turning a gray, faceless mouse into a beauty, which is difficult to pass by without admiration.
The moments of transformation are recorded and presented in photo galleries and video clips of the masters.

Casting with different rises and step widths leads to the fact that the alignment of surfaces is not only very difficult, but almost impossible. Increasing the width of one step inevitably changes the size to the smaller side of the other, raising the surface of the tread increases the previous rise.
Then the builders go down the path of alignment concrete steps plaster and putty mixtures, but as practice shows, this is a completely pointless step, leading to an easy separation of the step coating along with the leveling layer. Such marches are aligned with high-strength concrete mixtures with additional reinforcement.
The layer of concrete must be sufficient to increase the first step rise and decrease the last rise, and to make them applicable the level of the entire floor is raised.
Evaluated the design errors of concrete stairs:

• There is no gap between marches, or its value is less than 75 mm. This gross violation occurs more often than we would like.
  The value between marches is regulated building codes and rules. The gap between marches is used for laying a fire hose, and so that it does not jam at a crucial moment in a fire, the recommended gap size has grown to 150 mm, because hoses with a diameter of 100 mm are used.
• The difference in the height of the steps is comparable to the nightmare of the masters, so it is determined tolerance step height, which is 9.5 mm. To obtain a flat surface, moisture-resistant plywood is used for formwork.

What material to choose

Facing of stairs is carried out different materials, each of which is good in its own way:

• Laminate is an interesting alternative wood finish stairs. Being quite popular floor coverings it is not intended for sheathing stairs.
  The small area of ​​the steps does not allow it to be laid in a floating way and not violate the technology. The thickness of the laminate boards is too small to fasten them in a way similar to wood.
  The surface of the laminate board is too smooth and in a hurry, the feet can slip on such steps.

Attention: Facing stairs with laminate is much cheaper than with wood, so some experts take up the work with this material.

• Concrete stairs finished with tiles (see), stone or mosaic, marble or granite are no different from each other and it is not ethical to say that some kind of finish is radically different from the rest. The choice remains only with the customer, but it is impossible not to note the clinker ceramic step.
  These tiles are produced specifically for finishing stairs with a rounded edge on the risers. This option simultaneously ensures the safety of users, and the strength of the cladding, and an attractive and presentable appearance of the stairs.
• A popular design of a concrete staircase is wood trimming steps and installing railings in residential buildings. Such coatings can last for decades, subject to all the rules and regulations of manufacture.

Concrete in wooden clothes

Don't follow erroneous opinion that the abundance of woodland is a guarantee of cheap finishing materials, And simple finish Do-it-yourself concrete staircase wood will cost much less than a product made from scratch from an array. Practice shows that it is possible to save only on the thickness of the steps, which are made a centimeter thinner, and the price of such material is more expensive, and it takes much more time.
Everything is explained quite simply, no matter how hard we try, but concrete steps cannot be made with perfect flat surface and exactly the same in size, even with carefully thought out and manufactured formwork. Facing the steps is a labor-intensive process, especially when self-fulfillment operations.

Attention: The concrete staircase dries well for at least three months, it is preferable to leave it for the heating season, in order to avoid deformation of the steps and getting concrete chips.

Wood cladding

The homeowner needs to understand that a concrete staircase is not a cheap purchase and its cost will cost twice as much as an ordinary one. In fact, it turns out payment for two structures, in concrete and wood.
wooden stairs does not have load-bearing elements, but otherwise it refers to a full-fledged product. Installation of concrete stairs is practiced in public buildings, in dachas and country houses wooden ones predominate, although there are exceptions to the rules, which we will consider here.

So:

• On the preparatory stage all stages are measured and the highest of them is determined. All the rest are trimmed to its size with a self-leveling floor compound.
  If the differences in height are insignificant or all steps are conditionally the same in height, then all the same, the surface of the concrete is equal, and the mixture is simply applied to it. If the height difference is more than a centimeter, a 4 mm plywood formwork is prepared, fastened with dowels so that the upper edge coincides with the required level.
  Before applying the fill, the steps are cleaned of debris and primed to increase adhesion. Only after the primer has completely dried, the mixture is poured.
• The second stage consists in fastening plywood, which acts as a moisture-proof layer that does not allow wooden linings to accumulate excess moisture. The surface is primed again and the primer dries.
  In accordance with the dimensions of the steps, a blank is cut out of plywood with a thickness of 10-15 mm. Adhesive mastic is applied, a plywood blank is applied on top, fastened with dowels, while the plywood is laid out according to the level.
• Prepared independently or ordered in the workshop the steps themselves from the array. Treads of a complex shape are best depicted on thick cardboard or plywood and prepare a template that will help in the precise manufacture of steps according to the given dimensions.
• Do-it-yourself finishing of concrete stairs with wood starts from the bottom.
• 3 bolts with a diameter of 6 mm are screwed into the lower end of the riser so that they protrude from it.
• The hats are cut off, and the wooden riser is combined with the concrete one, the locations of these bolts are marked.
• Holes of appropriate sizes are drilled and filled with epoxy.
• Plywood is smeared with "liquid nails" and a facing board is placed.
• A groove of the required depth is cut out in the step for a resting riser.
• The cut itself is attached to the steps of the second riser.
• The surface of the plywood and the groove is smeared with glue, the first step is installed. It is verified by level, if necessary, slightly corrected.
  So step by step we move up the stairs.

Attention: Even with careful wood cladding with all verified dimensions, there are gaps on the sides of the steps that can be covered with mounting foam and masked with putty.

The cost of facing a concrete staircase with wood starts from 150 thousand rubles and depends on the following parameters:

• The price of material for steps.
• The complexity of the work on the manufacture of elements.
• Type and configuration of the fence.
• Expenses for assembly and installation work.

The exact price of facing a concrete staircase with wood is calculated by our specialists individually for each product after completion necessary measurements, choice by the customer of design design and material for sheathing.

The choice of wood for finishing concrete stairs

Both coniferous and hardwood varieties of wood can be used for facing concrete stairs. At the same time, when choosing a material for sheathing, it is worth considering your financial capabilities and operating conditions of the structure.

Steps from inexpensive soft rocks- larches and pines are perfect for finishing concrete stairs in summer cottages and country houses for seasonal living. Solid wood elements (beech, oak and ash) should be used for cladding structures installed in the main housing and subjected to intensive use.

The choice of railings for stairs

The type, shape and configuration of the fence is selected depending on the operating conditions (indoors or outdoors) and design features stairs (straight, mid-flight or spiral). At Master-Ladders.rf you will find big choice fences made of wood of various shapes, colors and methods of fastening. All components for the stairs can be selected separately, taking into account overall design structures and surroundings. It is possible to manufacture forged fences, railings from of stainless steel and exclusive products according to the sketch of the customer.

Painting and varnishing stairs

The ladder during the entire period of operation experiences various mechanical loads. Therefore, we paint or varnish the wooden parts of the structure, which are particularly susceptible to external influences. from leading manufacturers - Akzo Nobel, Remmers, etc. The resulting film perfectly protects the wood from moisture, abrasion and minor damage.

We also use paints and varnishes in cases where it is necessary to give expressiveness to the natural texture of wood or to tint elements in different colors and shades. The cost of painting varies from 35,000 to 70,000 rubles, depending on the type of coating chosen and the size of the structure.

Stages of work on facing concrete stairs with wood

The quality of the plating largely determines the durability and aesthetic appeal stairs. Therefore, our craftsmen carry out all work on the facing of stairs strictly in accordance with time-tested technology. The following sequence of actions is observed:

• Preparatory work. A concrete base is usually unsuitable for cladding, so significant irregularities are removed from the steps first, in some cases it is necessary to expose the formwork and pour a self-leveling mixture. With the help of moisture-resistant plywood 10-12 mm thick, attached to the base with parquet glue and dowels, minor flaws and defects are eliminated, the steps are given the correct geometric shape.
• Parts manufacturing. Removed from the prepared base required dimensions, on the basis of which wooden elements, exactly matching the dimensions of the stairs. All parts are sanded, primed, painted or varnished.
• Facing. The manufactured elements are attached to concrete base via parquet glue. Fence is being installed supporting pillars, balusters and handrails. At the request of the client, the necessary grooves and holes are made for the lighting elements of the steps.

In modern building repairs there are many ways self-finishing stairs. One of them is the facing of a concrete staircase with wood.
This method ideal for stairwells, which during the operational period have lost their external aesthetics. During restoration work, it is recommended to finish and clad the handrails.
Finishing work can be done by hand.

For of this type works like concrete stairs recommended application different types materials, each of which is good in its own way and has a number of features.
Consider the materials with which concrete stairs are sheathed, in addition to wood:

• The most common method, and a great alternative to wood, is laminate.
• But the material is not particularly suitable for staircases. Due to the small area of ​​the steps, the laminate laying technology is violated.

Advice. The price of finishing stairs with laminate is much lower than with wood, so many people choose this material.

• Next, consider the method of tiling. In the same category can be a natural stone, granite, marble. All materials are tied together by the high cost of design.
• Materials are produced specifically for finishing stairs with a rounded edge for risers. This option can ensure the strength of the finish and safety during the period of operation.

And finally, a concrete staircase, wood cladding. This is a popular and durable way.
If you follow the finishing technology, the tree will serve for decades.

Preparatory work before finishing

Before being made by a tree with your own hands, you will need to produce a series preparatory work. It is especially important to eliminate a number of especially pronounced shortcomings and defects.

Advice. In order to inexpensively eliminate all existing shortcomings, you can use a solution of cement and sand grade M150.

Instructions for use:

• With the help of the solution, all pronounced defects, including cracks, are filled. Of the tools you will need a spatula.
• Before applying the solution to the surface, it is recommended to use a PVA primer.
• In order for the steps to merge with the wall, it is necessary to mount narrow panels of 1 cm veneered plywood at the bottom.

To finish the flight of stairs with wood, you will need the following tools:

• Electric drill.
• Screwdriver.
• Hammer.
• Grinding machine.
• Milling machine.
• Saw or small hacksaw.
• Electric jigsaw.
• Plumb or building level.

After carrying out the necessary preparatory work, you can begin to finish.

Facing a concrete staircase with wood, video tutorial and installation nuances

In order for the panels of flights of stairs to be located on the same level, it is necessary to make markings using a construction plumb line. Marking is done in the lower, upper and middle parts of the march.
Carrying out work:

• In order to make the markup, you will need to indent to the side by ½ of the width landing. The adjustment of the material is made according to the terrain.

Advice. You can not waste time until the mortar with which the irregularities were sealed will harden, and install the risers and treads.

• Traditionally, the width of the treads is considered to be 27-32 cm, and the riser is 15-18 cm.

What wood is used for finishing stairs:

• For such work, the use of hardwoods such as beech or oak is recommended.
• Treads 32 cm wide and 4.5 cm thick are made from the selected material.
• For facing work, you will need material 2.5 cm thick and 17.8 cm wide.

Note. Is not standard sizes, it all depends on the design of the march. Self-tapping screws are used as fasteners.

Installation is carried out according to a certain technology:

• at first lower part the riser is attached flush to the bottom of the tread.
• The upper part of the riser goes into the back of the tread into the groove (it is made initially with the help of a milling cutter).

Note. The depth of the groove should be 1.4 cm and the width 2.5 cm. For the evenness of the groove, a flat rail or side stop is used.

• For reliability and rigidity of the structure, it is recommended to use metal squares.
• If the corners are mounted from the back, then additional sockets are made. Rigid fastening is allowed only from the side of the tread.

For insulation work:

• For additional insulation front finishing work some use polyethylene foam.
• The thickness is 0.3 cm. This will reliably protect the structure from damage and noise.

Collection of each separately harvested unit:

• If wooden structure was built one at a time separately, it must be assembled and installed on.
• Work is carried out using screws, long in size, 2 pieces on each side.
• For installation, holes are drilled in the riser, and markings are made for dowels.
• Installation is made from the bottom riser. Next, the next unit is installed using the installation control in the finished groove.

Attention. It is important to observe correct location groove and evenness of installation, after which the structure is fixed with self-tapping screws.

After assembling the entire structure, it is necessary to correctly install the last riser to flight of stairs. Can be connected with a corner or closed upper part wooden board.

How to assemble wooden handrails

Finishing handrails for concrete stairs is made from hardwood boards. Before starting work, it is necessary to determine the shape and style of the future railing.
Let's take a closer look:

• Mostly, most of construction contains rectangular shapes. Therefore, the manufacture does not require much effort.
• Basically, difficulties can arise in the manufacture of curvilinear forms.
• This assembly is made by gluing individual elements at different angles.

Note. Work must be carried out at the installation site.

• To collect railings and install them on metal railing you need a milling machine.
• In order to cut connecting elements a hacksaw with fine teeth is used.
• Railings and handrails are fastened together with screws. After all installation work fasteners must be sanded.
• To make the design more attractive, you can use plugs or putty for fasteners.

Upon completion of all work, the structure is varnished or painted.

The most important and important when facing concrete marches wood, this is the observance of precise technology, otherwise, the durability of the structure will be significantly reduced and lose its attractiveness.
Let's take a closer look:

• If the decoration is done by hand, then be sure to watch the training video and coordinate the details with knowledgeable craftsmen.
• There are cases when the sizes of marches are different, then it is recommended to fit finishing elements produce to the highest design.
• The rest are aligned with a special mixture.

Advice. If the discrepancy provides for more than 4 cm, then it is recommended to make a formwork using plywood and the steps are poured.

• In order to minimize the absorption of moisture into the wood, it will be necessary to install plywood substrates before finishing.
• If there is a desire to emphasize the texture of the tree and give it a peculiar look, you can use stain.

Also, if desired, you can use a laminate instead of wood, but it should be remembered that the technology for installing the laminate will be slightly violated. Marble, stone and tile are also used to finish concrete staircases.

A concrete staircase is a common and robust design, the disadvantage of which is a terrible view. Save the interior of the house from the concrete monster, perhaps by decorating the concrete steps. Wood trim allows you to hide all the bumps, make the step more pleasant and soft, while decorating the interior of the house.

This sheathing technique is one of the most labor-intensive and complex processes, because it requires high costs time and materials.

Finishing a concrete staircase with a tree with your own hands, a task that can be solved and doable, provided that correct execution the main stages of the work described below.

Preparatory work

• Clean the stairs of debris.
• Take measurements of the steps, noting all the dimensions obtained on the sketch. The requirements of the regulatory documentation speak of the obligatory observance of a uniform step between the steps and maintaining all the steps in the same size.

Note! A prerequisite for laying wooden boards on concrete is a step leveled to the level.

• For the purpose of subsequent leveling of the surface, it is necessary to calculate the difference between the measurements. Determination of the largest difference between the height of the steps is necessary to align the step along the entire staircase. It is under this difference that the steps of the entire structure will be adjusted.
• Alignment is done with concrete pouring, in cases where the difference exceeds 9 mm, it is necessary to make plywood formwork and additional reinforcement. Before pouring the mixture, the step must be primed. The fill must dry.

• After the fill has dried, the surface must be primed.

There are several ways to prepare the surface for laying the board:

I. Laying waterproofing, followed by installation of the board.

• Plywood will be used as a waterproofing agent. Sheets must be carefully measured and cut. The cut out sheets of plywood are a template for a finished wooden step. Plywood with a thickness of 10÷15 mm is used.

Measurements must be carried out on the step itself and the riser.

• Apply a special adhesive mastic over the primed base and install plywood sheets, leveling them.
• Fix the sheets with dowels. Install two dowels on each side of the step.

II. Laying wooden lag. This method is not suitable for every master. Requires good experience, skill and accuracy. All work must be carried out with constant control of the level of horizontal and vertical. Differences in the surface are leveled with compensation bars or chips.

Installation of wood flooring

Materials:

• A board with a thickness of 40mm is used. Since the steps will be constantly subjected to mechanical stress, it is advisable to use hardwoods as the starting material.
• Platbands installed from the end of the stairs, along the wall.
• Fencing and railings.

Installation wood flooring is carried out in several stages:

I.Example of wooden steps. Steps are stacked and adjusted to size. If desired, the sharp edges of the steps can be rounded for a more comfortable climb.

II.After the fitting, all material is sent for processing:

• Boards must be carefully sanded with a special grinder using sandpaper various graininess.
• After grinding, it is necessary to apply a layer of protective impregnation.

Application can be done with a brush, special sprayer or sponge. The main task of impregnation is to penetrate into the wood, and protect it by forming protective film on the surface.

• After impregnation, it is necessary to apply a primer and paint or varnish. When choosing coloring material, it is necessary to pay attention to the composition and scope. For the floor, it is recommended to use paints, varnishes or enamels with a stable structure, which form a reliable film that protects the wood from scratches and from water. It is necessary to apply at least 2 layers.
• Painted material must be thoroughly dried.

III.Before installation wooden board apply an adhesive to the plywood, the most effective will be the use of " liquid nails". Adhesives and sealants are also applied to the logs.

IV.Then install the first riser, securely fastening it to the floor with studs or bolts. Having noted in advance concrete floor, bolt installation locations, drill holes with resin pouring in which the bolt will be fixed.

v.Next, the boards are steps, and so on. In the board, which is installed on top of the step, make a groove for the riser. Fix the risers to the surface of the step using self-tapping screws.

VI.Install railings.

Important! Work is carried out from the bottom step - to the top.

Carrying out wood cladding of a concrete staircase is not an easy, but fully justified task, which will not only decorate the interior of the house, but also gain many useful skills in working with wood.
