If you want your resin staircase to stay looking its best, a durable and scratch-resistant surface is essential. Choosing the right epoxy and applying it with care can keep your steps bright, glossy and protected from daily wear.
What Makes a Resin Surface Durable?
The durability of a resin coating depends on both the resin formulation and the application technique. Products like Art Pro clear epoxy resin are designed to form a hard, shiny layer that resists scratches and scuffs, ideal for high-traffic areas like staircases. UV protection within the resin helps the finish last longer by minimising yellowing over time.
Getting a Scratch-Resistant Finish: Practical Tips
- Start with a smooth and clean substrate. Sand and dust the stairs before applying resin.
- Choose a resin with built-in scratch resistance and UV filtering, like Art Pro or Trasparente.
- Apply in thin, even layers (typically 1–10mm for Art Pro; up to 2cm for Trasparente) for best hardness.
- Allow the resin to cure fully—rushing the process can reduce its durability and resistance.
When a Tough Surface Matters Most
Staircases are exposed to constant use. If your resin stairs are in a busy household or a commercial setting, a robust, scratch-resistant topcoat will help preserve both looks and safety. Consider recoating if scratches start to appear or if the shine becomes dull over time.
