WOOD PANELING
 The most common use of wood paneling is for
partitioning and for covering of large areas as the
sheets generally come in large sizes and are
extremely light and easy to work with. While wood
panels are usually 4×8 foot in size some of the types
 Wood paneling comes in four different types and
depending on what you are using them for and what
overall look you want you will want to research more
on which is best for your type of installation:-
1.  Tongue and Groove
2.  Overlap
3.  Shiplap Edges
4.  Plank Paneling

TYPES OF WOOD PANELING
Tongue and grove is the most
popular because it is easy to install
and transport

TYPES OF WOOD PANELING
Shiplap joints paneling
plank paneling is composed of a
series of planks that line the wall from
floor to ceiling. You can choose
planks that run vertically or
horizontally, though a vertical
application is most common. The
width of the planks varies, so you can
choose the size that best fits the scale
of your room.
Shiplap joints paneling are
formed by cutting identical
rabbets into opposite faces
of adjoining boards. This
produces a joint where the
rabbets overlap, preventing
gaps between the boards
from being visible.
Plank Paneling

Beadboard is a very popular
decorative paneling option and is
often used in wainscoting which is
when paneling is placed on the
lower half of walls. This practice
was extremely popular in colonial
times and is still very popular today.
which deals well with varied weather
conditions.

 The veneer finish panels
consist of three plies.
Pre-finished are the most
expensive types and
those with grains will
achieve the best quality.

Vinyl coated panels
generally have a design
that has been laminated
into plywood. They are
easy to clean but scratch
easily. Although the
overall look is often very
similar to wood, they do
require special cleaning
agents in order to prevent
damage.

 Due to its durability and the fact that it is highly
sustainable and is harvested and produced in a
range of countries around the world, it is growing
in favour. The rich colors make it a wonderful
addition to walls, ceilings and floors and can
even be used as an exterior cladding option

Wood for Staircase
Pine, poplar, oak, maple, and cherry are the most popular
wood for staircase construction
Pine– Southern Yellow Pine is the most common material used to
make stairs be cause of its strength and cost. Because it is economical,
there are several grades of this wood.
Poplar- Color variation and distinctive graining is common in poplar.
However, it accepts paint well and is nearly clear. Because of these
characteristics, poplar is commonly used in painted or carpeted stairs. It is
the least expensive of the hardwoods.
Hardwoods-Oak, Cherry, and Maple are the most popular types of
hardwoods. When stairs are made out of these materials, they are
considered to be “finish grade.” It is expected that the stairs will be
viewed as a showpiece in the room and the wood must be of exceptional
quality. Because of this, only wood with knots and flaws up to 1/8” in size
are accepted.

Wooden Staircase components
The three main parts of a
staircase are :
Tread- The part of the
staircase, horizontal to the
floor, that a person steps
on while walking between
floors. Usually has a bull
nose edge finish.
Riser- Risers work as a
backing to the tread to
keep the foot from
traveling past the edge of
the tread. They are vertical
to floor.
Stringer- The purpose of the stringer is to contain both the tread and the
riser and provide structure to the staircase. This component runs at a
diagonal from floor to floor.

Types of Staircases
Box– A complete boxed in stair with
housed stringers on both sides. On this
stairway, the ends of each tread and
riser are installed into recessed stringer
routings creating a box appearance.
There are 6 standard stair types that are
used in most practical applications. Custom
designed stairs are also available to
showcase the unique décor of your home.

Types of Staircases
Open 1 Side– One side of these stairs is closed or boxed in. The
opposite side is open with all returned end treads. On the open side, the
wall usually runs underneath the stringer for support.
These stairs are considered to be more decorative than the box type
because the balusters will run directly into the treads.
Open 2 Sides– A decorative stair design, each tread is mitered and
open on both sides. There is not a boxed in section anywhere on this stair
type. Walls typically run beneath both sides of this stair.

Types of Staircases
Combination– These stairs
have both boxed in and open
sections. The amount of
returned end open treads is
determined by location of the
finished wall line. This
configuration is common when
the stairs run against a wall and
then into an open room.

Types of Staircases
Platform– Multiple sets of stairs
that meet on a landing to meet
space limitations and
accommodate room layout. They
are made up of 2 sets of stairs,
boxed, open, or combination.
Circular/Curved– Any of the
above designs can be made in a
curved staircase. On this type the
treads are slightly pie shaped. The
shape causes the staircase to have
a radius.

Determining Rise of Staircases

Determining Run of Staircases
Determining Run
In a straight staircase, there
will always be one fewer stair
tread than riser. This is to
account for the additional rise
needed to meet up with the top
floor. Using this rule of thumb
to refer back to the previous
example of the 104” floor to
floor 13 rise staircase, there
will be 12 treads.

Interior Wooden Staircase
A stringer that closes off the ends of the treads and risers is a closed
stringer. If the stair is built between walls the stringer may be called
a wall stringer. In this case the stringer is attached to the wall and transfers
the stair load directly to the wall. It is generally sized to accommodate the
tread and riser, and align with skirtings.

Interior Wooden Staircase
Interior timber stairs can be constructed as shown in Figures
Solid timber or medium density fibreboard sheet (MDF) may be used in
the construction. MDF is normally used for treads and risers. It is glued
and screwed while solid timber may be nailed and screwed.

Exterior Wooden Staircase
A simple form of stair can be constructed from solid timber to provide
access to exterior deck areas
The treads can be attached to the stringers with by 50 x 50 mm brackets. The
stair timber and fixings used should meet the same durability requirements as
the deck construction. Exposed bolts and other fastenings will need to be type
316 stainless steel or epoxy coated hot-dip galvanised steel.

Exterior Wooden Staircase
Timber treads need to be coated
with a non-slip finish or grooved
to provide a slip resistant
surface.
Balustrades and handrails will
be needed if a fall greater than
one metre is possible.
Open treads that have a gap of
more than 100 mm between
treads are not suitable where
the stair may be accessed by
the public, e.g. the front steps
to a house.

Advantage/ Disadvantage of
Wooden Staircase
Advantages
• Allows paddlers easier access from a steep or eroding shoreline
• Aesthetically pleasing; less disruptive to “natural” shoreline than
concrete
• May be easily and inexpensively repaired, if damaged
Disadvantages
• Installation may be costly and may require alteration to shoreline
• May be susceptible to undercutting
• May require maintenance as stairs age and weather
