What Is Stair Sanding and Finishing?

Unlike standard floor sanding, stair sanding requires: • Precision edge work • Manual detailing in corners and risers • Controlled sanding pressure • Safety-focused finishing techniques After sanding, the staircase is refinished with protective coatings such as polyurethane or water-based finishes to restore durability and enhance appearance. This process improves both the look and lifespan of your timber staircase while ensuring a safer, smoother walking surface.
