Preparation

The process starts with carefully removing the old layers of paint and adhesive residue from the stairs. This can be done by sanding / chipping off older layers. This provides a clean and even base for the new stair covering. Removing these old materials contributes to better adhesion and durability of the new stair covering. 

Painting

It is advisable to paint the stairs before covering.

In this project, the stairs were painted by a painter after removing the old layers. A white color (RAL 9016) was chosen for the stair stringers and the sides. The slats and bottom of the steps are painted black. This creates a nice contrast between the dark steps and the light trees, the cracked slats are less noticeable due to the black color.
