When it comes to application, it’s got a very impressive 14m2/L of coverage and very good opacity considering that it’s a water-based paint and has a thin consistency. 2 coats will likely do the job. If you want high-quality stair paint that’s not going to break the bank, WRX Trade Satinwood is the paint for you. Our easy to install, elegant and stylish handrail kits enable you to create your dream design aesthetic without hassle or expense. As it is touch dry within 30 minutes and re-coatable after 1 hour, it’s a convenient choice for many homeowners as you should be able to use the stairs on the same day that you paint them without having to worry about the paint lifting away from the surface. With that being said, I would advise giving it at least 16 hours before using the stairs just in case. Feel free to be bold but neutral colours are usually the most complimentary colours to overall decor themes. Best Paint for Stairs 1. Bedec MSP: Best Paint for Stairs Overall
In terms of slip resistance, I would say that Bradite Floor-It ranks the highest out of all the paints on this list. It has fantastic adhesion and dries to a hard finish that provides plenty of grip when walking on it. The paint flows so well that there’s no danger of an orange peel effect or brush marks being present once it cures. Furthermore, it’s very forgiving when touching up with minimal, if any, flashing. Once fully cured, its paint film is flexible enough to deal with the natural movements of wooden stairs but where it really excels is its incredible resistance to scuffs and scratches which is perhaps the most common problem of less durable stair paints. A before and after of a staircase I painted using Bedec MSP. The difference is remarkable.Many other Stair Handrail Kits require you to drill into the actual rail itself during fitting. This is very difficult & can be hazardous with the drill bit liable to slip unless being performed by a competent DIY’er. All the fixings within our Stair Handrail Kit are produced to prevent any drilling of the rail to make fitting a lot easier & safer, saving time in the process. Furthermore, unlike WRX Trade Satinwood, which doesn’t need an undercoat, I always find that I get my best results with Aqua Guard when used in conjunction with the Aqua undercoat. Of course, purchasing the undercoat paint is only going to increase the cost of the job which is why I’ve put this paint in the medium budget range.
A durable stair paint will be resistant to scratches and scuffs, flexible enough to deal with the movement of your wooden stairs and won’t wear down after excessive foot traffic. In terms of scuff and scratch resistance, it definitely out-competes WRX as it’s able to withstand a lot more wear and tear. But compared to Bedec and Bradite, it doesn’t quite measure up. For example, when I conducted a scratch test with my fingernail, Aqua Guard was fine. When I used door keys, it still held up. But when I used a sharper screwdriver it came off after a few seconds of scratching. The Bedec and Bradite on the other hand were immovable. There are a few other paints on this list that could ALMOST cope with the same amount of rigorous scratching but for me, Bedec MSP is simply the most durable.The only thing that really lets this paint down is the fact that it can only cope with light-medium foot traffic. Of course, this isn’t necessarily a negative, depending on how often the stairs are used and whether you use footwear in the home such as slippers/sliders. Great for slip resistance, fast drying and holds up well to general wear and tear over the course of a few years. Bradite are known in the decorating trade for having some of the most durable and hard-wearing paints on the market. And Bradite Floor-It is no different. Highly resistant to wear and tear and covering as well as any paint on this list, many professional decorators opt for this gear when painting stairs.
