Metal Stair Treads
Metal stair treads work well with metal or wood stair
stringers. The biggest problem you're going to have with metal is
corrosion. Let's face it, wood rots and metal rusts and if you really
want to extend your stairways life, you're going to need to provide them
with a little tender loving care. Metal stair treads will need to be
cleaned and inspected, on a regular basis.
Metal Stairway Tips
1. Since we know that metal rusts, anything we can do to prevent it
from rusting is going to extend the life of any metal stairway and
steps. The best way to prevent rust is to keep your stairway clean and
debris free.
As people walk up and down the stairs with their muddy feet or even
small amounts of dirt, some of it will eventually get stuck on the stair
treads. That's not the worst part, when the dirt retains moisture and
the moisture is in direct contact with the metal stair treads, risers,
stringers or other stair parts, it won't be long before the metal starts
to corrode.
2. If you're metal stairs need to be painted, just don't paint them
without doing the necessary preparations. If you're stairs are starting
to rust, these areas will need to be treated, before painting. Make sure
that you remove any loose paint that's flaking off of the metal stairway
and handrailing.
If you don't treat the rusted metal and paint right over the rust,
there's a good chance that the metal will continue to corrode, under the
paint.
If metal stairs are cleaned regularly and maintained, they should last
for decades.
