Perfectly Matching Staircase Railings in Leduc, Alberta with Alberta Painters Co.

When it comes to home improvement projects, attention to detail is key. Recently, Alberta Painters Co. undertook a staircase railing matching project in Leduc, Alberta, showcasing our commitment to excellence and craftsmanship.

The Project

The homeowners wanted to ensure that their new staircase railings perfectly matched the existing stairs, which were made of aged, varnished red cedar. To achieve this seamless look, we used a method that highlighted the natural beauty of the wood without the need for staining.

Our Process

1. Assessment and Preparation: We carefully examined the existing stairs to understand the finish and texture. The aged varnished red cedar had a unique character that we aimed to replicate on the new railings.
2. Choosing the Right Products: To match the finish, we selected Minwax oil-based varnish in a semi-gloss finish. This choice allowed us to bring out the wood’s natural grain and provide a durable, attractive finish.
3. Application:
   • First Coat: We applied a light coat of varnish to the new railings. This initial layer was essential for setting a smooth base and ensuring the wood absorbed the varnish evenly.
   • Second Coat: After the first coat dried, we applied a heavier second coat. This step deepened the color and added a rich, semi-gloss sheen that mirrored the existing stairs.

The Result

The result was stunning. The new railings seamlessly matched the existing stairs, preserving the home’s aesthetic integrity. The Minwax oil-based varnish finish not only enhanced the wood’s natural beauty but also provided a robust and lasting protection.
