Cladding steps with natural stone
Cladding steps with natural stone
Cladding steps with natural stone is an excellent decision, because almost every house has a staircase. It connects the floors, and made from beautiful, high-quality materials it becomes the eye-catcher of your home.
It takes a fair amount of knowledge and imagination to make the staircase suit your living spaces. For indoor and outdoor steps, natural stone is an excellent choice that can transform any room. A single detail is enough to make your home look refined and elegant.
Advantages of natural stone over other materials
Natural stone has many advantages over other building materials.
1. Every stone is unique, and no two pieces are exactly the same.
2. Another big advantage is its durability. Brick, ceramics and concrete wear and become brittle over time, and they can break or chip. That does not happen with natural stone, which is incredibly durable and robust. You just have to find the right solution. Properly finished natural stone is non-slip, and granite cannot be scratched or otherwise damaged. Once you have natural stone steps, you will never think of another material again.
3. You have many options. For the staircase you can choose a solid or an elegantly thin stone, and we can finish the surface in different ways. The colour palette is very wide, so at least here the decision in our showroom will not be easy for you.
Choosing stone for steps and finishing work
Once the staircase has been concreted, the shell construction phase ends and the decorative finishing begins. As already mentioned, steps must not be slippery, so make sure the stone surface is properly finished. A staircase in a shopping centre is different from one in a residential building. When choosing the material, how heavily the steps are used matters most. Good taste and aesthetics alone are not enough here. As a customer, you should know at least some properties and types of natural stone. We are happy to tell you about them.
At the moment, marble stairs are particularly popular, mainly because of their exceptional look. Marble is best suited to stairs that are not heavily used, so it is just right for homes. After installation we recommend sealing the stone surfaces so that they absorb no water or dirt and are easy to clean and care for.
In hotels, apartments, banks, offices, shopping centres and commercial buildings, where many people come and go every day, we recommend granite rather than hard marble, because of its decorative effect and its many colours and patterns.
