Recommended finishes for walnut:
- Oil: long-lasting protection, easy maintenance, enhances walnut grain
- Varnish: maximum wear resistance, ideal for high-traffic areas
- Hardwax oil: authentic matte look, easy to touch up
The choice depends on the intensity of use and the desired finish. For solid walnut stair treads, oil offers the best balance between protection and natural aesthetics.
The wood thickness, walnut quality, and type of finish all influence the price variation of stair treads.
