Hello everyone, I will soon be moving into a newly built condominium. It has an interior staircase (precast concrete) to the roof terrace. A covering was planned here, which I have opted out of because I wanted to keep my options open. I am now wavering between different coverings. Originally, wood was clear for me, but now I am considering alternatives. The criteria: - appearance - durability - low maintenance - price - ... Since the staircase leads to a roof terrace, the covering should also withstand moisture, dirt / small stones on shoes, etc. Wood might not be the best solution here. The apartment has smoked oak parquet, which would also be the wood tone of the staircase. However, I can also very well imagine matte black natural stone with white risers (e.g. lacquered concrete). Instead of natural stone, vinyl could also be used, as it is available in all conceivable designs. Besides subjective taste, what would be best from your point of view?

The topping that you like and that fits the height of the steps. Otherwise, you have to rework it (or have it reworked).

So would all aligners objectively have the same properties? Hard to imagine...

How do the alternatives tend to compare price-wise?

You can walk on all of them

That depends on your taste and whether the stairs still need work. Vinyl is at least the cheapest option in terms of material (however, I find it utterly ugly and would never use it in a house/apartment).

I made an effort to mention my criteria in the initial post... and it wasn't just about whether I can walk on it?! - Durability - Low maintenance What does "worked on the stairs" mean? It's just a prefabricated part, it is probably never completely clean, there are certainly unevenness, a chipped corner, etc. How does the effort of the preliminary work differ then?

This applies to all floor coverings. You always have to clean. Possibly oil wood. Hence my answer

Your stairs will be planned for a covering thickness X. For example, for 3cm wood. If you now glue 4mm vinyl, the stairs are no longer as planned and each step may have to be "enlarged" by 2.6cm. That costs real money. Thin vinyl should also have an absolutely even subfloor; if you glue stone on, the adhesive compensates a bit. You also have to distinguish between risers and treads.
