Main advantages of rubberwood for stairs:
- Medium density (around 580 kg/m³), offering a good strength-to-weight ratio
- Dimensional stability that limits deformation
- Easy to machine for clean cuts and fine finishes
- Light color that matches various interior styles
- Excellent value for money compared to European hardwoods
Rubberwood is particularly suited to moderate foot traffic in residential spaces. For intensive use, opt for harder species. Solid rubberwood stair treads require a suitable finish (varnish or oil) to enhance wear resistance.
