Stairs / | Replace tread stairs |
As a result, long-term operation in the tread appear scratches, chips and stains, as well as traces of uneven wear and cracks. The stairs of any type is easy to replace individual tread , except for rounded tread the first stage, which is required for the replacement of the railing to disassemble and remove the lower support column railing. If Steps does not have carpet, try to pick a replacement material according to the original. To replace the tread, which will lay a coat, take part of the window sill, which is available with a ready one rounded edge. You can also make tread from any board soft rock, sawed off her size, rounded outer edge fugankom and stripping its skin. The easiest way to remove the tread on, as described on this page, but if you have no access from below, try not to move the wedge into the groove of the bowstring. If the wedge is lost, is based on a new tread block section 50 to 25 mm screws attached to the string so that its top edge was in the same plane as the lower stratum of the tread.
Removal of the old tread
1. Saw-old tread into three parts. After removing the intermediate balusters, side belt and the applicator roller lateral drill holes to start sawing and make cuts across the tread in two places, without touching the top and bottom risers.
2. Removing parts of the tread. Score a bit in the middle of the tread on the riser so as to remove without damaging the roller comb riser. Gradually navigate back chipping pieces of the tread. The last few centimeters remove tread especially carefully, because at this point it is attached with screws to the rear riser. Then, just a mallet and chisel to remove the two remaining parts of the tread, splitting the wood around the nails and removing nails and screws. Cut the new tread to size. If the stairs are applied connection between treads and risers in a quarter or in tongue, consider these features when choosing the width of the tread and fabricate it in a groove or a tongue and groove (you can entrust the job to a qualified carpenter).
Installation of a new tread on the open staircase
1. Layout. With the combined metal gon mark the place for attaching the applicator roller side on the outer end of the new tread. First, spend the angle between the outer end and the outer edge of the tread at an angle of 45 degrees line to connect to the " FF ", and then draw a line parallel to the outer end to the width of the applicator roller side.
2. Cutting. Hacksaw with fine teeth butt cut on the line at an angle of 45 degrees, and then saw off across the grain fine teeth hacksaw. You can also cut off the tread electric jigsaw, attaching as a guide bar and turning the tread so that the top layer on the bottom. After the cutting process the surface plane and chisel socket.
3. Making grooves stud-type compounds « dovetail ». Temporarily install the treads in place and with the help of a plumb mark the point at the center of the hole in the handrail. Insert the upper end of the rack in the hole railing handrail, press the stand to tread so that its center lies on the other hand marked with a plumb point, and mark the angled line for the manufacture of the slot. With gon continue the line on the upper and lower seams of the tread and connect them at a right angle away from the end of the tread is equal to the thickness of the balusters. Do the same for the other stand. If balusters designed for connection to the circular spike, drill the holes using a label as their centers.
4. Sawing grooves. Tenon saw Make cuts along the lines, and then saw off the back of the scoring saw. If necessary, chisel Trim the corners. If balusters have round studs, drill tread drill with center drill or brace holes with a diameter corresponding to the diameter of thorns, and a depth of 9 mm.
5. Setting a new tread. Spread a sufficient amount of PVA glue to the edge of the riser, kosour and string slot located at the wall. Install the tread in place, then drill three equidistant from one another through the holes in the tread riser. Tighten the screws number 8 in length of 37 mm, sinking the head and seal the hole filler. Do not walk on stage about an hour for the adhesive. Replace the rack rails, lateral and roll bands invoice in accordance with the instructions on the previous page.
6. Securing the tread below. If you have access to the bottom of the ladder, drill holes through the auxiliary riser in the tread and tighten the screws number 8 in length of 37 mm. Set the angle bars along the connection between the riser and the tread.
Installation of a new tread on the stairs closed
1. Determining the length of the new tread. Measure the distance across the stairs from the front surface of one string to the bottom of the groove another string. Subtract two to three millimeters in the gap and cut a new tread with such length. If the front prostupenok provided with a comb or a quarter of it is selected for connection with the old tread, remove the projection using a chisel and plane. If there is a ridge on the back riser, gently remove the comb chisel, to a new tread can easily slide into place.
2. Sampling corner. With tenoning saws and chisels make a recess in one of the front corners of the new tread. The distance from the end of the tread to the edge cutout should be equal to the depth of the socket in the string. Chisel and cut down a recess at a distance of overhang roll plus 10 mm gap. Carved corner store.
3. Install a new tread . Apply glue PVA in the nest on the edge of the riser and tread on the bottom board. Hold the part of the tread, which has no cut-out at an angle, insert the end of a cut in the slot of the string. Cut the tread will push far enough that it will not strike the roller located above the tread. Lower the raised edge of the tread on the rear riser, and then slide it to the side so that it becomes visible cutout. Glue in place felled area and secure it with a nail, drilling a support hole, so it does not split. Set in the center of the tread, drill the holes and secure support tread screws number 8 in length of 37 mm.
