What is the best type of stone for steps and risers?

As the stairs are one the most traffic-bearing spaces inside any buildings, it is highly recommended to select resistive stones with the sufficient mechanical, abrasive and slipping resistances in order to maintain the integrity during the lifetime. Based on the type of the stone, the steps and risers can be produced in the types of Granite, Marble I, Marble II, Onyx, Limestone, Tra-Onyx and Travertine .

What is the best stone finish for steps and risers?

As the stares are under frequent cyclic traffic forces, slipping resistance and abrasive resistance are the two most important factors while designing for the stone finish so that they are satisfied with textured finishes instead of smooth ones. The difference between the finishes are illustrated here in detail. In addition, the profile of the steps could be manufactured as round, semi-round, chamfered and so on.
