Walnut

Walnut is a great choice for any staircase project, and is often renowned for its luxury. It is a tough and durable wood that will last for an incredibly long time, keeping your walnut stairs looking brand new. Despite this, it’s very easy to work with which allows for intricate pieces and elaborate designs.

Walnut is only suitable for indoor use, as it can bleach when exposed to too much sun. It is a heavy wood, which provides its immense strength and durability, however it can be tiresome to install!

Because walnut is a hardwood, it’s much more resistant to scratching than softwoods such as pine and hemlock. It will also be more resistant to dents, sagging, and general wear and tear through the years. This makes it a great long-term investment for any staircase project.
