Why Stone Stairs?
The material of the stairs can be stone, wood, glass, metal, and artificial materials and artifacts. But, in general, the best, most beautiful, and most popular materials for making stairs are stone. Because, in addition to its beauty and variety in natural colors and designs, stone has considerable resistance.
Since stairs are subjected to greater pressure and wear than floor coverings, they must have adequate durability to withstand the effects of time and adverse conditions without experiencing discoloration, cracking, chipping, or other forms of damage.
Standards for Selecting Stair Stone
The standard for choosing a stone for stairs can be divided into two significant factors: inside and outside the building. Since these are essential factors in the choice of stone, the type of stone and its processing depend on the application in one of these two cases.
Stairs in interior spaces should be more beautiful and delicate, with a polished and transparent surface. Outdoor stairs must withstand harsh conditions (both in terms of weather and in terms of use). Besides, they must not be slippery and have good surface friction.
In general, stair stones should be selected with a thickness of more than 3 cm to have high compressive strength.
