This stair tread stands out for its technical robustness, being capable of withstanding heavy traffic and the most severe weather conditions without losing its non-slip properties or aesthetic integrity.
Natural extruded klinker: the best choice for outdoor stairs
Terraklinker natural extruded klinker is the ideal material for stairs in areas with extreme climates. Its low porosity and excellent vitrification make it immune to frost, preventing the piece from cracking or detaching. Unlike other materials, it withstands sudden temperature changes (thermal shock) while always maintaining a safe surface for pedestrian traffic, even in wet conditions.
The natural aesthetics of the Natural extruded klinker collection
The Natural collection is characterized by its warmth and authenticity. The Fiorentino stair tread features natural chromatic variations inherent to the firing process, ensuring that each staircase has an exclusive character. Its bullnose design provides a classic and elegant finish that softens construction lines, providing a professional and welcoming result.

Frequently asked questions and doubts about the Natural collection Fiorentino stair tread
Is this stair tread truly non-slip for outdoors?
Yes, the Terraklinker Fiorentino stair tread has a class 3 non-slip classification, the highest according to regulations, which guarantees maximum safety even when the surface is wet from rain or irrigation.
How does extruded klinker resist frost?
Due to its extrusion process and high firing temperature, the material has minimal water absorption, which prevents ice from penetrating the structure of the piece and causing breakage.
What maintenance does the Natural collection require?
Terraklinker natural klinker is very easy to maintain. For regular cleaning, water is sufficient; for persistent stains or construction residues, specific cleaners can be used following our cleaning guides.
Can it be used in high-traffic areas?
Absolutely. Extruded klinker is known for its hardness and resistance to abrasion, being suitable for both private residences and public or commercial spaces.
Why is the color of the pieces not completely uniform?
Shade variation is an intrinsic characteristic of natural extruded klinker. These tone variations are what give the material its authentic and rustic appearance, highly valued by architects and interior designers.
Is it necessary to treat the material after installation?
It is not strictly necessary, as the material is naturally very resistant, although protectors exist to facilitate cleaning in areas highly exposed to grease or extreme dirt.
Comparison and advantages of the Natural Fiorentino klinker stair tread over other products
Unlike conventional pressed tiles or standard ceramics, the Terraklinker extruded klinker Fiorentino stair tread offers superior mechanical resistance and greater depth in its non-slip texture. While other materials may lose their surface layer with use, our pieces maintain their properties for decades.
- Greater structural resistance: the extrusion process allows for the creation of pieces with complex geometries and higher density.
- Durable safety: the non-slip roughness is not a surface treatment but part of the klinker body itself.
- Climate resistance: superior to natural stone or porous ceramics against freeze-thaw cycles.
