A finish built to withstand everyday wear
Treads, risers, and railings — a treatment designed specifically for high-traffic surfaces.
Stairs: a demanding surface, often overlooked
A staircase endures constant foot traffic, heel impacts, and furniture bumps — wear that few other surfaces in the home experience. Standard paint chips there quickly.
La Touche & Co. uses products specifically formulated for floors and high-traffic surfaces, including anti-slip additives for treads when desired.
Whether you want just the risers painted black for a classic contrast look, or a full refinish including the railing and balusters, our approach stays the same: rigorous prep and durable products.
