Steps granite - an excellent solution for residential and public buildings

Natural stone was a valuable material inall times. At present, this unique natural material produces stairs, countertops and window sills. The granite steps are often used in administrative and public buildings to give aesthetic appearance. In addition, products made of natural stone have high performance characteristics, which determines the durability and successful resistance to both high loads and difficult weather conditions.

Ступени гранитные прекрасно сочетаются с various other materials of both natural and artificial origin, for example, glass, wood, metal and ceramic coatings. The joint use of the above materials brings a feeling of luxury, beauty and nobility to the existing interior. In addition, natural stone is an eco-friendly material that, due to its unique features, has a bactericidal effect. This means that the use of this material will not only beautify your interior, but also preserve your health.

For buyers who have chosen granite steps, the price of the issue is also an important factor. This indicator depends on several conditions:

1. Type of natural stone.

2. The parameters of your ladder. Here we take into account the height, the number of steps, and so on.

3. Method of finishing the stone surface.

4. Necessity of installation works.

5. Related materials.

The surface texture that the steps havegranite, can be obtained as a result of the application of various processing methods. Currently, there are four main types of finishing: sawing, grinding, polishing and heat treatment. In addition, at the request of the customer can be additionally carried out a set of measures to impart anti-slip properties.

Sanded granite steps are characterized bysmall irregularities on the surface, which cause a high coefficient of friction-sliding. The most advantageous similar finish looks on light types of natural stone - it emphasizes its beauty and structure. Polished surface, on the other hand, distinguishes the natural beauty of dark-colored rocks. Such steps will look very impressive, but slip on them will be much easier. The sawed type of processing is characterized by uneven texture and natural manifestations of the stone pattern. Can be used on staircases and entrances to residential and public buildings. Heat treatment in turn allows you to get a rough surface, which has a slightly melted view. This method of processing has a high anti-slip effect, because in the process of manufacturing a stone slab, all surface pores are sealed under the influence of a gas jet.

Finished granite steps have many advantages:

- durability;

- high strength and wear resistance;

- resistance to weathering, as well as aggressive environments;

- water resistance;

- ecological compatibility;

- Aesthetics.
