A staircase needs to look coherent from top to bottom and feel appropriate underfoot. The visible edge, riser contrast and vein direction can change the result as much as the stone color.
Measurements to bring
- Number of steps and landing areas.
- Tread width and depth, riser height, and any curved or irregular pieces.
- Preferred edge or nosing detail.
- Whether the stairs are indoors, exposed, or likely to get wet.
Ask about a finish and edge treatment suitable for the specific location. Never choose a step from a photo alone; review the exact material and a cutting plan. Send us your stair dimensions for a tailored discussion.
