6 Ways To Properly Protect Stairs During A Construction Project
December 2, 2020
Stairs are vulnerable on construction projects for a few reasons.
- They WILL be used. Unlike a separate room that has new flooring installed and the door can be closed once finished, to stop anyone from walking there – Stairs will be used. They are a means to get from floor to floor and back down again, so it’s inevitable that they are going to get foot traffic on them.
- They are often one of the first things to be installed on a project, to make it run smoother allowing easy access from floor to floor. This means they will see a lot of use right from the beginning, through the whole lifetime of the project.
- Due to the nature of stairs, the edges are vulnerable from boots and shoes hitting, scraping, or kicking the nosing and all other areas of a step.
With this in mind, it makes a lot of sense to temporarily protect the stairs with a suitable solution for the duration of your project.
There are several options to consider, depending on the length of time the protection needs to be in place for, what material the stairs are made from, and the amount of foot traffic that the stairs will be getting.
