FAQs
What tools do I need?
You'll need a measuring tape, saw, adhesive, sandpaper, and finishing supplies (stain, varnish, etc.).
Can I install this myself?
Yes, the installation is designed to be DIY-friendly, but basic woodworking skills are recommended.
What type of finish should I use?
You can use stain, varnish, paint, or any other finish suitable for oak wood. Choose a finish that complements your home's decor.
How do I clean the cladding?
Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What if the cladding is slightly too long?
You can trim the cladding to the exact size using a saw. Measure carefully before cutting.
Is the oak pre-finished?

How long does the installation take?
Installation time varies depending on the size of your staircase and your experience, but it is generally a quick process compared to a full staircase replacement, often completed within a weekend.
Troubleshooting
Cladding doesn't fit properly.
Double-check your measurements and ensure the cuts are accurate. You may need to trim the cladding slightly to achieve a perfect fit.
Adhesive isn't holding the cladding in place.
Make sure you are using the correct adhesive for wood. Ensure the surfaces are clean and free of dust or debris before applying the adhesive. Clamp the cladding in place while the adhesive dries.
Finish looks uneven.
Prepare the surface properly by sanding it smooth before applying the finish. Apply thin, even coats of stain or varnish, and allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next. Consider using multiple coats.
