Are you the proud owner of an antique wooden staircase? Then you naturally want to see it shine in its original condition. And you also want your classic gem to be optimally protected against woodworm. Not keen on managing two separate worksites? Then choose a professional all-in-one solution: staircase restoration and woodworm treatment in one.
All-in-one approach
“Restoring a staircase requires expertise and craftsmanship,” says Emile Verschueren of Protector. “At Protector, we have been specialising for more than thirty years in combating woodworm and repairing the damage caused by this insect. Both restoring a staircase and treating it against woodworm are invasive works. If you want this done professionally, your home temporarily becomes a worksite. Working with multiple contractors significantly extends the duration of the works. Schedules need to be aligned, and one party has to build on the work of another.”
“Restoring your staircase’s authentic appearance is one thing. Ensuring it does not fall victim to woodworm again is another. Thanks to our anti-woodworm treatment, you can rest easy on both counts.”
“Offering our clients a fast and efficient solution and keeping the worksite period in their home as short as possible: those are the advantages of our all-in-one approach.”
“We restore your classic staircase according to the rules of the art. We do not rush this process. First, our experts thoroughly examine your staircase. Then they draw up a plan outlining all practical steps. Finally, our specialists carry out these steps with meticulous care.”
Sandblasting
“With Protector, you don’t have to fear reckless demolition work. Our first task is to professionally support your staircase. Only then do we repair damaged parts. Are some elements beyond repair? Then we manufacture new, custom-made wooden parts and seamlessly integrate them into your existing staircase.”
To restore your staircase’s classic appearance, we use a combination of techniques. One of them is sandblasting. This pressure treatment with sand particles removes all impurities, paint and varnish layers. The result? The original woodwork of your staircase becomes fully visible once again.”
No to woodworm
“But our work doesn’t stop there,” Emile Verschueren emphasises. “Giving your staircase its authentic look back is one thing. Making sure it doesn’t fall prey to woodworm again is another. Thanks to our anti-woodworm treatment, you kill two birds with one stone. And you only have to communicate with one contractor.”
