    House Reno Question

    What is the best material to put for a stairwell? A stairwell that leads to an upstairs and downstairs unit for a duplex. Basically it will be used daily with shoes going through them. Any ideas?

    Why do people wear shoes in the house? You walk all day outside stepping in dog shit, dog piss, and god knows what then you want to drag that all over your home floors and carpets. Fukkin gross

    Since you're one of those disgusting slobs, I recommend a hard surface that's easy to clean. Maybe wood

    I saw on This old House there is a kit with a steel center pole and you have individual steps with steel necks attached that fit stacked into the center pole (Paragonstairs.com is one brand; Model # K07086
    Arke Phoenix 63-in x 10-ft Black Spiral Staircase Kit
    $3,037.02)

    Will there be feet in the shoes walking or are you opening a basement shoe store?
    I'd probably go with octagonal pavers either way.
