A residential staircase with solid oak treads set against decorative ceramic tile risers in patterned geometric motifs. The treads needed an oil that would handle daily foot traffic while preserving the oak's natural tone, set against the visually busy tile risers below. LEINOS Universal Hard Oil 259 was applied in two thin coats.
The team masked each tile riser with painter's tape before applying the oil to the tread above — tape stayed in place through the 16-hour cure to keep oil off the glazed ceramic. Cleanup of any drip was done immediately with a cloth and white spirit before the oil could skin.

Outcome
The result on site.
Solid oak treads with decorative tile risers in Pune — LEINOS Universal Hard Oil 259 delivers a satin mid-brown finish with no oil bleed onto the patterned ceramic risers below.
The oiled treads carry a natural mid-brown tone with a subtle satin sheen, contrasting cleanly with the patterned tile risers below. No bleed of oil onto the tile glaze; the riser-tread joint reads sharp under raking light from the stair window.
Results vary by surface condition, climate exposure, application method, and ongoing maintenance.
