If you have an active family, the stairs in your house probably get a lot of foot traffic on a daily basis. Carpeted stairs can get dirty and worn. Replacing carpeted stairs with wood can help you reduce the amount of time you spend on maintenance, keep your family safe, and improve your home’s appearance.
Reasons to Install Wood Stairs
Wood is much easier to clean than carpet. Dirt and mud can get ground into carpet fibers. Vacuuming can be effective, but it’s hard to maneuver a vacuum cleaner on a staircase. With wood stairs, you’ll be able to use a broom to quickly remove dirt.
Installing hardwood stairs can improve the indoor air quality in your house. Allergens that get trapped in carpet fibers can trigger symptoms in people who have allergies and asthma. Since wood stairs won’t trap dirt the way carpet can, you and your family will be able to breathe easier.
Replacing carpeted stairs with wood can reduce the risk of an accident. Carpet that gets torn or that comes loose can be a tripping hazard. That’s not an issue with wood stairs. Non-slip treads can provide traction while still leaving most of the wood surface exposed.
Wood stairs can be a beautiful addition to your home. They can be a particularly appealing option if your house has a staircase that people see as soon as they walk through the front door.
Many homeowners would love to install hardwood flooring but can’t fit the cost into their budget. If that’s the case, installing wood stairs can be an excellent alternative. You’ll be able to add the beauty and sophistication of wood to your home without breaking the bank.
