It’s affordable
Wood treads, especially those made of pine, are relatively cheap compared to hardwood. As pine trees grow fast and are available in various areas, it’s much more affordable than other products available in the market today.
It’s versatile
You can also change the overall look of pine wood stair treads into various shapes and style. You may even be able to stain it in whatever colour you’d like, or even leave it bare if you want it. However, you have to ensure that you polish it thoroughly to prevent scratches and dents. Unpolished pine tends to be more prone to dents and scratches, which can look unpleasant after a few years.
It’s sturdy
Although it’s not as dent-resistant and scratch-resistant as hardwood, pine wood is still durable in its own way. Pine is well-known for its great strength-to-weight ratio, which is perfect for its price. However, if you want to add a few extra protection to it, you may want to apply a thick layer of penetrating oil stain to seal and protect the pine treads. It’s also a good way to prepare the pine treads for finishing.
Pine treads is a just one of the types of wood treads available in the market today. You may always want to inquire with a supplier who can give even more information on which material to use for your building needs.
