The staircase is an important element in the interior of the house. When choosing it, you need to evaluate not only the appearance and how it fits into the overall style, but also functionality and reliability.
Despite the number of cheaper types of wood available, some manufacturers prefer to make wooden stairs from oak. The fact is that such products have a number of advantages:
- are not affected by temperature changes;
- moisture resistant;
- durable (resistant to mechanical damage);
- durable.
But, despite this, during operation it is worth remembering that it is better to avoid harmful effects, since even durable natural materials can suffer in such conditions.

Elements of wooden stairs made of oak
Like any structure, a staircase has its own mandatory components, which you also need to pay attention to when choosing:
- steps (for them such indicators as width, depth, height are important);
- railings (the shape of the handrail plays a big role in creating the overall design, which can be oval, round, rectangular, their choice completely depends on the taste of the owner of the room);
- a wooden stringer or bowstring are the supporting elements that differ most visually;
- riser (increases the strength of the step, is not always used);
- bolt – a metal bolt that fixes the step to the wall;
- base – a structure that bears the entire load.
