Finishes & Protection

We offer two high-quality finishing options to protect and enhance your timber stair treads. Our natural oiled finish highlights the timber’s authentic character while providing a durable layer of protection that’s easy to maintain. For maximum resilience, our polyurethane finish creates a tough, long-lasting surface designed to withstand heavy use. It also offers excellent anti-slip properties, making it a trusted choice for timber flooring and stair applications alike.

 

In addition, the timber treads can be stained in our range of standard colours, or custom stained to match your existing flooring, ensuring a cohesive look throughout your home.
