Cosmetic surgery for a stairs
Hi All,
We are looking to give a stairs a facelift. We have a stairs that was covered by soiled carpet that runs from the back of our Kitchen down a narrow hall to the back garden. Its the only part of our massonette that's covered by carpet and we had hoped for a wooded stairs underneath that we could sand. However after removing the carpet we discovered a hodge podge of cracked wooden steps and a few concrete steps near the bottom. Also the risers aren't in great shape. It looks like any spare bits of wood was used to create the risers, and in places they have rectangular pieces of laminate tiles stuck to them which the tackless strips where glued or nailed to. Anyway in its current state we can't sand and refurbish the stairs, we dont want to install a new stairs and we would prefer not to re-carpet it. So is there anything that we could stick over the current wooden and concert steps and Risers that would give it a face lift other that carpet. A |
