James, russwood have a technician that will talk you through the whole process, they deal with the stuff every day so will be knowledgeable. Also, it's something you should look into more so that your able to make an informed decision that you won't regret. Where do you live? I said russwood because I knew they have a great webpage. It will depend on the timber you pick as to how it will weather and change colour, you can also get it stained/ dyed. Few things to think of so don't rush it and you will be happy with the finished look.

Hi redkez78. If you like the natural silvered grey look it's really worth the wait. See our shed - just built in first photo and 2 years later in the other images (under veranda you can still see the difference as it's sheltered so will take longer). Friends speeded this up on their house by washing wood down with a large broom and a weak solution of water and bleach which worked well (see Art House B&B, Isle of Skye www.arthouse-skye.co.uk). Maybe good to test on a spare piece of wood first. Advantages - no maintenance at all and it looks beautiful! Alternatively you could use a water based pale grey exterior wood paint well watered down to create a 'wash' effect so you can still see the wood grain and you don't need to paint so neatly. Paint with a large brush then wipe excess off. Again, test on spare pieces of wood to get the effect you like, experimenting with percentage of water to paint. Personally, I'd go for the natural silvered look but that's just my taste! Good luck! Tricia from www.CoastWoodCotton.etsy.com

It looks like natural wood as I can see it silvering. Accoya is available in a number of stains and does not silver (as it is not a 100% natural product). I also dislike silvering wood and prefer the look of it maintained in a stain. I like the look of burned Larch. It has texture and a deep colour. Eucalyptus is a hardwood and keeps its colour well, but is pricy.

Personally I think you are trying too hard to match the rest of your home and you should think about whether a wood stair is safe. In most homes the stairs are in the middle of the home but in yours they are at the entrance and I worry that wet shoes could be slippy. Also think the square edge could be vulnerable to damage in part because it’s a veneer. So while I think you could make it look beautiful initially I worry about it’s longevity and so perhaps you can use your wood flooring in a different way and make the stairwell more interesting with wood cladding to the wall.? Personally I would replace the carpet with new carpet…… coir and sisal might be a good compliment for the wood floor but they also are difficult to clean and don’t like getting wet- so I would probably buy either an inexpensive carpet and resolve to replace it every few years…… or I would get a wool carpet with a forgiving pattern- I like herringbone patterns for making a space seem wider.
