Finishing of the concrete staircase with wood: tiling and tiling of steps with tiles, technology of a laminate

make concrete stairs can be attractive with the help of its wood finish Gray, rough concrete not overcame in a private home, if it is certainly not a design idea. To ensure that such a staircase fits into the interior, it is lined with wooden decorations to give an elegant and finished look.

finishing concrete staircase time

Concrete constructions are the most reliable and durable, such stairs are widely used not only outside the house, but also inside it. And, if such a staircase is installed inside the house, it is given a finished appearance by covering with materials, for example, wood or artificial: tiles, laminate, granite, etc.

Woodworking is the most popular, as it is easy to handle, and also it is able to optimally improve the decor of the concrete structure.

Many people prefer to choose the wood for decoration, because this material makes the ladder refined and beautiful

But before sheathing ladder above materials, you should do the following:

1. Measure the height all the stairs, And find among them the highest, after all the steps of the staircase lead to this indicator using a concrete mix or cement slurry.
2. Prepare the surface of a concrete ladder, especially steps. The optimal option is a concrete pouring of the screed, for this, a frame with beacons exposed on each level is made above each step. After everything is poured a thin layer of concrete mixture. When the concrete solidifies, it is necessary to check the fill using the building level.
3. You can prepare the surface with cement mortar, the principle of its carrying is the same, using beacons. The cement mortar is less resistant to loads, compared to concrete.

After complete solidification, concrete top cover special primer, after drying, the adhesive composition is applied, which is mounted on the substrate, which is made of plywood and it is best to do it from the plug. Well, after that, some kind of finishing material is placed on the staircase.

Before making wood veneer, measure each rung of the ladder to find the highest, and align all the others to it. This is done by applying a thin layer of concrete to the step.

On top of the concrete, after its hardening, a special primer is applied, which prevents the absorption of adhesive compositions.

Before proceeding to finish the steps with wood, it is necessary to pre-clean the surface of dirt and dust

Then proceed directly to the lining of the ladder with wood:

1. The leveled surface is cleaned of dust and dirt,(If the staircase is installed outside the house, then it is necessary to apply water-resistant compounds), stacked plywood with dimensions of 8-10 mm thick( if the staircase is installed outside the house, you should use waterproofth plywood) or cork flooring. After the steps are glued already directly.
2. For greater strength, the substrate is recommended to fix the dowel with nails, and screw the steps of the ladder to the substrate with self-tapping screws. All heads of the dowel of nails and screws should be heated in a tree. Laying wooden steps should start from the bottom, constantly monitoring the plane with the help of a building level.
3. The stair risers are inserted into the grooves of the steps, the grooves in advance are also glued with glue.

After everything is ready, steps and stair risers can be painted with stain, lacquer and other finishing materials. Such a rather difficult at first glance lining the stairs with a tree is necessary so that the steps of the stairs during operation are not loosened and creaked.

Preparation and laying of wooden steps on concrete stairs

Wood is the most popular material, as it is easy to handle, and also it is able to optimally improve the decor of the concrete structure. In addition, the lining of the staircase with your own hands is quite possible for a person with minimal experience in construction. If it does not, then professional help will not hurt.

For manufacturing steps for stairs should preselect tree, the best option is oak, but the price of the preform from it are rather high, for less cost stage of larch, can also use other workpieces of birch( use should only indoors) or beech.

mandatory step is to carry out correct calculations for steps

Before starting to make the preform, proceed as follows:

1. Run miscalculation desired material volume, based on the area and staircase steps thickness. The minimum thickness of the steps laid on the concrete base is 30 mm.
2. It is necessary to align the concrete steps of the ladder, lay the substrate on them, and then proceed to laying directly the wooden steps. They are attached with the help of glue and screws to the substrate, which, in turn, is also fixed.
3. If the ladder is too uneven, then you can pre-make a wooden frame of strong thin beams in the form of oblique, on them should be mounted steps.

Work on laying the steps requires care and accuracy, only in this case you can get a quality ladder. In order to speed up the process a little, it is possible to order cutting and milling of blanks anywhere, in accordance with the required dimensions.

How is the finishing of the steps of the concrete staircase with

? The decoration of the staircase made of concrete with tiles will bring a certain charm and interesting design solution to the interior. To trim the stairs with tiles, you will need tools: a level, a tile cutter, staples, mortar or special glue, etc. Before laid, the tiles need to prepare the surface to remove debris, to check using the level and the corner surface in detecting irregularities expose beacons, if the concrete is smooth, it is necessary to put a notch well after training can proceed directly to the laying of tiles.

Technology:

1. Coat the primed concrete surface, deep penetration, it is necessary that the concrete is not pulled out of the water or cement glue. After it dries, the concrete, using a toothed staple, is applied with glue or cement, and tiles are laid on it. Conduct the laying from the edge to the center, observing the pattern.
2. tiles lightly pressed into the solution by turning it slightly to the left and to the right to shrinkage occurred, the label adhesive or mortar between the joints are cleaned after completed full range of tiles. The horizontal nature of the laid tiles is constantly checked by means of a level.
3. When the solution or glue dries, grouting is performed using a rubber staple to completely fill the joint. After it dries, the surface is wiped with a damp cloth.

After the drying of the mortar or glue, the edges of the steps and areas are fixed with decorative edges. This technology of laying tiles on the stairs is considered the most optimal and high-quality.

Technology of plating a concrete ladder with wood

Decorating a staircase made of concrete can be made of different materials, but many people prefer wooden structures. Sheathing, made of wood, gives beauty, comfort, and is even an ornament not only of the staircase, but also of the whole interior. Only first you should choose a tree, which will be sheathed a ladder.

The options can be the following: oak, beech, ash, larch, it is not recommended to make the lining of the pine staircase, especially the steps.

The most popular material for finishing the steps is the oak

Technology:

1. The preparation of the surface should begin with the cleaning of dust and debris, leveling the steps with a thin layer of concrete, and after it dries, the primer should be applied. After the fastening is done on the step with the help of glue and dowels of nails, and the steps and steps are already installed on top. The thickness of the steps must be at least 30 mm.
2. Afterwards, the side surfaces of the ladder are trimmed with the same wood, but at the same time, the thickness of the ladder can be less than steps. Wooden overhead parts are sawed into the shape of the side forms of the ladder, after which they are assembled. The process needs to be controlled with the help of a level.

It is best to attach them to the dowel nails to the side surfaces of the ladder. All crevices are smeared with putty in the color of the tree.

After the lining of the staircase is completed, it is possible to start installing balusters and fences, for this purpose, holes in the anchor bolt are drilled in the steps of the stair, it is screwed onto and fastened to the baluster. When they are installed in their places, the railing is put in place, and the ladder is fully ready for operation.
