Why choose an open staircase renovation?

An open staircase is a striking element in your interior, but if it looks worn, it can affect the appearance of your entire home. Fortunately, renovating an open staircase is the ideal solution! Not only is it cheaper than completely replacing the stairs, but it also increases the value of your home and brings the space completely up to date. And the best part is: you can choose from various materials that are not only aesthetically appealing, but also safe and durable.

The best materials for renovating an open staircase

At a stair renovation you have a choice of various materials. Each material has its own advantages, so it entirely depends on your preference.

  • Wood
  • PVC
  • Laminate

Around stair cladding with the smooth finish

With this option, we use 2 renovator treads. You get a renovator tread on the top of your step and a renovator tread on the bottom of your step. It looks sleek and modern.

Around stairs covering with the U-cap finish

With this option, we use a stair nosing overlay for the top, and at the bottom you get a panel without a nosing in the same color as the stair nosing overlay. A U-profile is used as a closure at the back of the step. With this option, a small thick edge is visible. A somewhat more affordable option for all-around stair cladding is the option with the U-profile finish.

Upholstering on the walking section only

With this option, the steps are only covered on the top with a stair nose overlay. The steps are finished with cover strips. The underside of your step retains its original state.

Enclosing the open staircase

At JB Traprenovatie, you can also have your open staircase enclosed. We use primed MDF panels for this. Process: The rounded MDF panels are glued and stapled securely to the back of the staircase.


We are extremely satisfied with our renovated staircase. From an unpainted newly built staircase to a beautiful oak staircase that is completely silent when walking up and down. Very refined finishes and installed with incredible precision.

We had two staircases renovated by JB Traprenovatie and are very happy with the service. We consistently received clear communication and professional advice. The work was completed on schedule, and the final result is very sleek and exactly what we wanted. It is a bit pricey, but compared to other providers, the value for money is good.

Step-by-step guide: Renovating an open staircase like a professional

Would you like to get to work on renovating your open staircase yourself? Follow this simple step-by-step plan and you can tackle it like a professional!

  • Step 1: Preparation

Make sure you are well prepared: tools, materials, and a safe workplace are essential. Also, don't forget to properly cover the area around the stairs so you don't cause any damage to the walls or floors.

  • Step 2: remove the old upholstery

Before you can apply new materials, the old cladding must be removed. This ensures a clean, flat surface to which the new materials can adhere properly.

  • Step 3: getting started with the new materials

Apply the new upholstery carefully. Make sure everything is properly in place and the edges are neatly finished.

  • Step 4: Safety and finishing

Safety is of the utmost importance! Add anti-slip strips if necessary to prevent slipping and finish the stairs neatly for a sleek and safe result.
