One of the essential elements of the large majority of architectural projects is adding special pieces like step treads for aesthetic integration in each design.
Architects’, interior designers’ and builders’ technical demands and requirements have increased with the passing of time when it comes to choosing materials for any new project. Besides considering the look and using resistant materials, one of the essentials is being able to find special pieces like step treads that can create aesthetic continuity between the various areas.
One of the advantages of installing ceramic steps treads on indoor and outdoor stairs is finding a solution to level changes. Whether from an aesthetic perspective -since these special pieces are available in different textures and colours- or functional - offering greater durability due to the extrusion process with which it is made-, the use of step treads offers immense benefits and is one of the construction solutions in highest demand.
Characteristics of step treads
Depending on the type of use to be given to the step treads -indoor or outdoor- the characteristics may vary, especially as concerns the need for non-slip features. If you’re looking for interior step treads, the ideal finish is R9; however, the highest level, R11, is needed outdoors since it’s more resistant to inclement weather and prevents slipping, thereby guaranteeing user safety.
The extensive range of designs included in the Exagres catalogue successfully meets all the technical and aesthetic needs of any project seeking to include ceramic stair treads in their design.
