Renovating Design Dilemma Hallways

Staircase Renovation

3 years ago

We have a pine clad, concrete staircase that we are looking to ideally update to tile/stone, add metal railings and handrail. Does anyone know of a company that specialises in this work?

There are lots in the back of magazines - at a price!

Are you looking for a contemporary or traditional look? You could replace the bannister and rails quite easily and cheaply, and tile the steps (maybe paint the rest of the concrete?) Basically just remove all the wood, though I can't see if there will be a problem with the stringer adjacent to the wall. Do you know if the concrete is fixed just at the top and bottom?

Perhaps talk to an architectural ironmonger - ask around for one locally who has done this sort of thing.

Thanks Sarah, looking for something more contemporary. We haven't removed the wood yet, I think that's the next step to understand what options we have.

Wood Essence Amber is a great product, comes in just few sizes but also in a non slip tile. The tiles in general could be lay on floor boards, not directly. I would lay first a 9-10 mm plywood otherwise the existing boards might move too much creating cracks in the grout, also use flexible tile adhesive specific for wood, I think MAPEI has the best tile adhesive, but that is because I am Italian, sorry. I know KERAKOLL is getting more and more popular as DUNLOP. Best advise ever, do not go for plywood less than 9mm, please! ( I have been convinced by a client, I will never do it again its not worth it ) You might find some fibre cement boards to use specific for this porpoises, there are quite few types around you just need to ask your closest building merchant.

Which plan is better?

Hi all, We are doing a home renovation on our 100 year old house including a new 20sqmsingle storey rear extension. The total floor area will be approx 58sqm. The house is relatively narrow and does not have a downstairs WC We are going back and forth between 3 plans and are really struggling to decide on the best option. We would appreciate any tips/comments/advice on which would be better and why. - We don't want 100% open plan. - We do want to add a toilet. - A utility space is nice, but not a dealbreaker Option A: Split the house front/back and move internal wall. Pro: Lots of glazing, bigger sitting room Con: narrow EC, opens on to kitchen Option B: Split house left/right and open snug with pocket doors. Pro: cheapest, bigger utility/WC, hides awkward staircase overhang Con: small snug, less glazing, awkward room shape Option C: Like option A but with a central WC/Utility space Pro: toilet opens on hall, rectangular kitchen, lots of glazing Con: Smallest kitchen floor area, not as nice a kitchen layout.

Hey rinked, Thanks for the idea. I had considered that before, but wan't sure about taking quite that much out of the room. It would be an extra 2-300mm but as per your sketch I hadn't thought about leaving the nook behind the door which lessens the incursion (and in the bed room that space could be used for storage too). We are moving the soil pipe to the side of the house to allow for the bifold downstairs, so the toilet on the outer wall as per your sketch would really be better. Of course we could use a pump or so, but that's not ideal. Bath drainage could also run out that side too. We are completely renovating the room, everything is coming out and it will be tanked and retiled etc, so seams aren't an issue. My main consideration for having the toilet and vanity on the other wall is to perhaps conceal the toilet with a false wall, and also so that the light from the window (extremely bright as south facing) isn't to the side when looking in the mirror. Thanks again, lots to think about! EDIT: Mocking it up, it could look something like below...
