Hi all,
I have been browsing the Internet quite a lot today to find some solid oak thread and risers to clad my existing staircase. I have to say I got a bit surprised by the price of it (around £800 for a double winder staircase) but even more by the lack of choice in terms of material and solid oak in particular.
So 2 questions really :
- Solid oak or engineered ? Does solid oak actually worth it? My dad is a purist and explained to me that solid oak will wear slower than engineered bla bla bla. Any opinion on the matter?
- Also where can I source the material either online (seems that I am going in circle between the bluePrintjoinery stairpart and another site), in London or from any timber merchants you recommend ?
Thanks for your help!
