Which wood to choose for stairs? Oak, ash, beech, pine or birch?
Customers who decide to buy wooden stairs often face such a problem as choosing the right type of wood. It is worth acquiring knowledge in this field before the design stage.
Today our task is to present you the differences between the above-mentioned types of wood.
Oak stairs
Oak is a hard type of wood, resistant to dents and abrasion. Perfect for both small houses and rooms with a high degree of use. Its color is a bit darker. Oak is a "high-end" type of wood, the price of which is much higher than that of other types of wood. These types of stairs do not require frequent refreshment and maintenance. They are very solid and will serve for many years.
Ash stairs
Ash is a type of hardwood that has a nice, distinct grain and a slightly lighter color. All its properties are comparable to oak. Ash stairs are very popular among customers, and their price is lower than the oak steps.
Beech stairs
Beech is a type of hardwood, which has a natural light color, which fits perfectly in homes decorated in a natural style. It does not have characteristic rings and has a uniform structure. Its price is lower compared to oak or ash.
Pine and birch stairs
Pine and birch are a type of soft wood that is definitely suitable for rooms with a low level of use, due to the fact that they are not very resistant to abrasion. Many customers choose this type of staircase for financial reasons, because of the types of trees mentioned, these are the cheapest. Nevertheless, these types of steps require frequent refreshment and maintenance.
Currently, a frequently used method is veneering cheaper wood with oak or other veneer. However, we recommend that you make the stairs from one piece of wood.
