I live in a first floor maisonette, my stair case comes straight up into my living room. I was hoping to put down a wooden or laminate floor in my living room at some point in the next few months.
The stairs are wooden treads on a concrete structure and have a wall on each side. The stairs are currently carpeted the same as the living room.
What would I do about the stairs in this situation? I would think that laminate on stairs would be lethal if you come in with wet shoes, yet I don't think that carpeted stairs would really go with the look of the property plus there is the risk of tripping on a threshold strip at the top of the stairs.
So, what is usually done in this situation? Is it safe to use real wood treads with no covering on?
