Solid-wood stair cladding
Cladding an existing staircase (concrete, pine, worn wood) with solid oak — no demolition, no structural work. Our two fixing systems fit every configuration.
From 80 € HT per piece
Stair cladding is the most effective way to transform an aged or dated staircase — 80s pine, raw concrete, laminated MDF — into a premium oak staircase, without tearing out the existing. Our pieces install over the current structure in a few hours, with permanent hold thanks to structural adhesive.
We offer two systems depending on your situation. System 1 is full cladding: treads, risers and nosings in 20–30 mm solid oak, dressing the entire flight. System 2 is thin cladding: only the visible faces (tread top and riser) are dressed, ideal when original dimensions are tight and cannot take a 30 mm addition.
Cladding works on concrete, pine, beech, plywood and even some metal staircases. The only requirement is a clean support, flat to ±2 mm, and dry. We always provide a technical install drawing and an adhesive protocol — for a flawless result without needing a specialist joiner.

Dimensions and thicknesses
What we can clad
Cladding works on most interior staircases, provided the structure is sound.
Concrete staircase
The most frequent case: dressing raw or tiled concrete with solid oak. Structural-adhesive install.
Pine or softwood staircase
Renovating a dated wood staircase without dismantling. Our oak pieces screw-and-glue to the existing structure.
Damaged MDF / laminate staircase
Renovating a worn staircase. We restore the warm look of a solid-wood piece.
Metal staircase (case-by-case)
Some metal staircases can be clad. Prior technical assessment required.
Systems 1 & 2: differences
System 1 (full cladding): we supply a solid 30 mm tread with a rounded or chamfered nosing, a 15 mm riser, and a nosing piece if needed. Added thickness is about 30 mm on the tread, absorbable on most staircases. Benefit: identical look to a new solid staircase.
System 2 (thin cladding): we supply a thin tread surface (8–12 mm) pre-grooved and a rapported solid nosing. Added thickness is less than 15 mm total. Benefit: preserves the original step height, useful for staircases with tight regulations or low doors at the base.
Stair-cladding pricing
Expect €200 to €350 ex VAT per tread clad in solid oak, depending on system and complexity. A typical 14-step staircase costs between €2,800 and €4,900 ex VAT, delivered ready to install. Precise quote in 24 h with photos and dimensions.
