Stairs

Hard-wearing and safe stairs

The key to aesthetic integration and lasting functionality

In contemporary architectural projects, material selection extends beyond mere aesthetics, necessitating solutions that harmonize beauty with practicality and durability. Within this framework, step tiles have emerged as indispensable elements for staircases, meeting the discerning requirements of architects, interior designers, and builders alike.

The inclusion of special pieces, such as step tiles, has gained increasing significance over time. Central to this importance are robustness and durability, attributes underpinned by the extruded method of production employed in crafting these tiles, ensuring exceptional resilience. This process elevates step treads into elements that not only fulfill resistance expectations but also surpass conventional standards. Furthermore, their noteworthy safety features make them ideal for outdoor projects, effectively averting slips and falls.

It is worth emphasizing that Terraklinker stoneware is highly slip-resistant, achieving an impressive R12 rating in the Din 51130 test and category C in the Din 51097 test. This characteristic is inherent in every piece within the Terraklinker collections, it ensures a worry-free descent down the stairs, even in rainy and humid conditions, providing confidence and safety with every step.

These characteristics not only safeguard the structural integrity of the tiles in adverse weather conditions but also highlight their versatility and ability to withstand the most demanding environmental challenges. The successful application of Terraklinker tiles in such environments not only attests to their durability but also underscores their capacity to provide reliable, aesthetically appealing solutions, even amidst extreme weather conditions.

Maximum robustness and durability of our step treads are guaranteed through meticulous application. We strongly advise adhering to the detailed instructions outlined in our klinker step fixing data sheet.

With Terraklinker, you not only achieve a perfect blend of elegance and strength but also gain peace of mind, knowing you have a safe and reliable covering for your outdoor stairs.
