Texturizing Your Stairs

Adding texture to hardwood surfaces can greatly impact the beauty and character of your chosen wood species. Whether you have reclaimed floors and want your stairs to match the aesthetic or you want better traction on your stairs, texturizing may be the right choice.

Hand Scraping

Highly Customizable: Hand scraping offers a higher level of customization, allowing for more intricate and varied textures. Skilled artisans can create unique patterns and effects.

 

Preservation of Character: It allows for the preservation of natural imperfections and character marks in the wood, enhancing its authenticity.

 

Precision: Skilled craftsmen can control the depth and pattern of the texture more precisely, ensuring a tailored result.

 

Artisanal Craftsmanship: Hand scraping is considered a traditional craft, often valued for the artisanal touch it brings to a piece.

Wire Brushing

Efficiency: Wire brushing is generally a faster process compared to hand scraping, making it a more efficient option for larger surface areas.

 

Consistency: It tends to create a more uniform texture across the surface, giving a cohesive and predictable result.

 

Versatility: Wire brushing can be applied to a wide range of wood species and can achieve varying degrees of texture depending on the coarseness of the brush used.

 

Emphasis on Grain: It effectively highlights the natural grain patterns of the wood, enhancing its visual appeal.
