← Back to How much does it cost to refinish stairs with resin?


If you want to refresh indoor stairs without unpleasant fumes, choosing an odourless resin can make the process much more comfortable and practical. Especially in enclosed spaces, a low-smell solution minimises disruption and ensures a better experience for everyone at home.
Why Choose Odourless Resin for Indoors?
Many traditional resins give off noticeable odours during application and curing—something best avoided indoors. Odourless options, like Icrystal Clear Epoxy Resin, are formulated for use in interior settings, making them ideal for stairs located in hallways, under-stair cupboards, or flats. They help maintain air quality while still achieving a durable, glossy finish that brightens worn treads and risers.


Application Tips for Best Results
- Ensure stairs are clean, sanded, and completely dry before application.
- Mix resin according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually by a 2:1 ratio for products like Icrystal.
- Work in thin, even layers—odourless resins typically allow up to 1.5cm per application for an even coat and easy handling.
- Allow plenty of ventilation and curing time as stated on the packaging; odour-free does not mean instant results.
When Odourless Resin Really Matters
If your stairs are part of a busy home, located near bedrooms or used daily, an odour-free formula makes refinishing possible without evacuating the house. It’s also a smart choice for those sensitive to smells or working in smaller flats where open windows alone can’t solve the issue.
