Wooden stairs as a central design element
Stairs are one of the most important design elements in buildings of all kinds. In central areas of a building, wooden staircases radiate natural energy and warmth across all storeys.
Whether free-standing stairs, cantilever stairs or the ever-trendy, classic stringer stairs: wood, the most sustainable of all raw materials, can be used in countless variations and designs for a truly unique result.
And let’s not forget that stylish wooden staircases also lead to other floors and levels of the building.

Mix of materials for functionality and aesthetics
Wooden stairs are mainly made of solid wood, with oak being the dominant type of wood. However, staircases can also be made of beech, ash, walnut and other high-grade woods. Laminated veneer lumber made from hardwood, such as Baubuche, can be used to add a contemporary touch.
Mixed materials such as glass and stainless steel are the perfect complement to wooden stairs. Remmers offers coating systems that protect these stairs and give them a contemporary look:
- Transparent coating with stair varnish, also stained
- Natural effect stair varnish for light-coloured woods such as oak and ash
- Flawless white stair stringers with effective prevention of glue line markings
- Oiled steps for a warm and natural look and feel
- Hard wax seal for a natural look and high durability
- Glass lacquer finish with a satin effect look
Remmers offers a wide range of solutions for keeping wooden stairs looking their best, regardless of the type of wood or material mix.
Functionalities of coatings for wooden stairs
1. Haptics and hand cream resistance:
Wooden staircase surfaces should feel natural and pleasant to the touch. Remmers coatings guarantee this and are resistant to commercially available hand creams to prevent long-term damage.
2. Resistance to mechanical stress:
Stair treads are exposed to heavy mechanical stress, which is why Remmers coatings offer high abrasion resistance and scratch resistance without turning glossy under stress.
3. Slip resistance:
The coatings ensure good slip resistance and support safe walking, unlike furniture coatings, which are often smoother.
4. Prevention of creaking noises:
Creaking noises are primarily a design problem, but Remmers coatings are subject to extensive testing to ensure creak-free stairs in conjunction with professionally planned constructions.
5. Healthy living:
Remmers coatings undergo strict emission tests to ensure that no harmful vapours pollute the indoor air. They are often based on water-based, low-solvent formulations and fulfil high environmental standards.
6. Resistance during the construction phase:
During the construction phase, wooden stairs are exposed to increased moisture. Remmers coatings give the building components hydrophobic properties and minimise moisture absorption in order to prevent swelling and damage.
Initial coating for wooden staircase construction: for industry and joinery
Remmers offers an extensive product portfolio for this area:
- Radiation-curing coating systems (UV coatings) for spray and roller application for industrial use
- Modern one-component, water-based coating systems with high resistance for industry and trade – primarily for the particularly efficient and economical vertical spray coating of staircase components for industry and trade.
- Additional functionalities for water-based paint systems thanks to the unique addition of Aqua VGA-485 Crosslinker & Glass Lacquer Additive
- Classic oils made from natural raw materials for a natural surface finish
- Hard wax sealer: with the look and feel of oiled surfaces and the durability of 2K varnishes – as a classic solvent-based or pioneering water-based version based on renewable raw materials
