Renovate stairs. Cheaper steps?

[Joukko]

Thinking about renovating our pine staircase to make it white and nice. But what about the steps? Something like Stepkit is super expensive. Is there a way to make it cheaper while still looking good and not being slippery? We're considering oak steps.

Need to get hold of a stair compass. Thought about possibly building one myself. Does anyone have some measurements and what is needed?

 

[jkarlberg]

have you checked with stepkit.se if you can buy one?

 

[Joukko]

They have stopped selling them.

do as I did, and buy a floor like parquet, and then just lay it on the stairs. cheap, nice.... sure, it's a bit of work. but it's worth it

Planning to do this but need a trappkompass first.

I was thinking of doing this but need a stair gauge first.

I borrowed one from Optimera, cost 100kr.

I was thinking of buying one first. But it cost over 1500kr which I didn't think it was worth.



This is how my stairs turned out.

or glue the rug there and attach a strip like the one in the picture above at the front edge so that over time you don't end up tearing up the edge

Buy one from Trappfixaren, works great. I bought this:

What glue should be used to ensure the steps adhere well?

 

[berne88]

What kind of glue should be used so that the steps hold well?

I used setting glue...

 

[Angelin]

Regarding glue, manufacturers of stair renovations often provide glue such as this http://lundbergs.com/trapprenovering/trappsteg___215.aspx?prodId=455&startId=0 Otherwise, go to the nearest hardware store, and they will help you.

Byggmax also has an MS-polymer based adhesive. http://www.byggmax.com/se-sv/byggvaror/farg-malning/vav-fog/lim-tillbehor/18014/super-7-all-in-one Available in 3 colors. Haven't tried it myself to see if it's adequate. Maybe someone else knows?
