Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Apr 10, 2019 7:15 pm Anyone building a double storey home with a Maple staircase? Our staircase is stained Maple and glass. If you run your hand along the balustrade it is so rough you almost get splinters. The stain also looks patchy in the timber. Our SS has told us the painters who stain the staircase should have sanded it down however we will never be able to get a smooth finish? Is this correct? I would have thought that Designer Staircases ought to provide smooth finish in their staircases which are ready to stain without the need for further sanding.

I have pointed out couple of time. definitely, it will have a top coat to make it smooth. Keep checking with them.
