Clad your stairs in natural stone
Cladding stairs in natural stone
Cladding your stairs in natural stone is a great decision, as a staircase is part of almost every home. It connects the floors, and if it is made from beautiful, high-quality materials, it will become the main feature of your home.
It takes knowledge and imagination to match a staircase to the interior of your living space. For cladding stairs, both outdoor and indoor, natural stone is an excellent choice that can completely change the look of any room. A single detail in your home is enough to give it a refined, elegant look.
Advantages of natural stone over other materials
Natural stone has many advantages over other building materials.
1. Every stone is one of a kind. No two pieces are exactly alike.

2. The second big advantage of natural stone is its durability. Brick, ceramics and concrete wear out and become brittle over time, and they can break or chip. This does not happen with natural stone, because it is extremely durable and hard-wearing. You only need to find the right solution. Properly finished natural stone is not slippery, and granite cannot be scratched or damaged in any other way. That is why people who already have natural stone stairs never think of cladding them in another material.

3. You have many options. For a staircase you can use a sturdier stone or an elegant thin one, and we can finish its surface in different ways. The range of colours is very wide, so at least on that point the choice in our Marnit showroom will be quite hard.
Choosing stone for stair cladding and the finishing work
Once the staircase has been cast in concrete, the building phase ends and the final decorative finishing begins. As we said above, it is very important that the stairs are not slippery, so we have to make sure the stone surface has been finished correctly. There is a big difference between the staircase of a shopping centre and the one we use at home. When choosing the material, pay particular attention to how much foot traffic the stairs will carry, because good personal taste and looks are not enough here. As a customer you should know at least some of the special features and types of natural stone, and we will tell you about them.

Marble-clad staircases are very popular right now, mainly because of how they look. Marble is best for staircases that do not carry heavy traffic, so it is the right choice for homes. After fitting, we recommend treating the stone surfaces with a sealer to protect them from absorbing water and dirt. This makes cleaning and care easy.

Because of its decorative character and its range of colours and patterns, granite rather than even the harder marbles is recommended inside buildings such as hotels, blocks of flats, banks, offices, shopping centres and commercial buildings, where many people pass every day.
