Benefits Of Hardwood Tread Overlays Systems

By Stephanie Kennedy


We all would like for our homes to look beautiful. This includes the color of the walls, roof, ceiling and even floor. There are so many options for all these places. Especially the floor since its the most conspicuous of all. Most people go for tiles or terrazzo. Both are remarkably beautiful. However, tiles can be hazardous especially for children especially when they are not well dried. The articles below points out the importance of having hardwood tread overlays.

These overlays are usually done on the stair case. The good news is that this is a very easy job depending on the height and width of the stair cases. You only have to replace the riser and the stair with the hardwood. The at-home stair cases at home are not very complicated, and so it will be very easy to get the job done. This is a good way of avoiding the risk of slipping and injuring yourself.

Most parents tend to put carpets on their stair cases for various reasons. It may even be a way to give a touch of elegance. Getting the carpet clean seems like a hard task so you might as well do away with it. Installing overlays is actually a very easy process. You will not need to demolish or reconstruct anything. This means that your home will remain intact throughout the process.

It is actually the most cost-effective method there is. You only need to purchase the hardwood and pay for the labor of one or two people. With other methods, you may need some laborers. You will also need to meet the cost of demolition and reconstruction which you cannot be assured will be within your budget.

Unlike the other methods, it is a huge time saver. Other methods may take days for the process to be complete and the stair case ready for use. With the overlay method, a professional only needs a maximum of 6-8 hours to complete the work on a normally sized flight of stairs. It is undoubtedly the shorted time span compared to the other methods.

The hardwood is very easy to clean. You just need to regularly mop it. You can also polish it to give it that beautiful shine. Due to the durability, very minimal maintenance is needed to promote a longer life. Unlike when a tile gets chipped or broken, you will need to replace the whole thing. Otherwise, someone may step on it and get injured.

This method has a variety of options. It can be pre-finished, custom color matched or unfinished. The decision really is up to you. You can choose to have it unfinished so that you can get advice on how to make it fit into the rest of your furniture. This is of course for the design people. Otherwise, you can have it finished by the installation team.

The biggest and best surprise of all is the fact that it has a 30year warranty. It is made from original hard wood meaning it is very durable. Nothing is indestructible, however, and in case you encounter any challenges with it, you have a guaranteed 30 years it will be fixed for free.
