The most affordable option for the price and the ability to build a self-facing ladders is considered the decoration of stairs with tiles or stone.
The long service life of the material, multiplied by the external appeal, which does not lose its original presentation, creates the maximum prerequisites for facing works. But facing the stairs with tiles and stones has many secrets.
Helpful Tips
For tiling ladders are designed tiles that have a high class of abrasion (IV or V), minimum hardness on the Mohs scale (5-6) and anti-skid properties. Such demands are made for the sake of outrages. In addition, the surface of the tiles must be corrugated in the form of convex or concave elements, and also be embossed over the entire surface. Uneven or rough texture of the tile surface will ensure the best safety when traveling. By the way, about the safety of the cladding
Secure tiles
Rain, snow or ice can cause a lot of trouble for stairs tiled. Here, to avoid injury, it is recommended to use a tile:
• with a safe edge
• with rim (shelf)
• special corner tiles.
Laying of safe tiles is made traditionally by selecting a special adhesive solution.
It is recommended to choose a stone for steps of stairs resistant to abrasion. These are fine-grained rocks: granite, basalt and calcite marble. Treads of stone can be polished and filled with a special compound deeply penetrating the pores of the stone.

But still, the recognized "authority" is considered to be the stairs and the facing of the staircase by ceramic granite.
cladding with ceramic granite
To make the lining of the staircase with ceramic granite can be the creation of monolithic and prefabricated steps. Facing monolithic steps gives an impression of the integrity of the structure. At the same time, the number of formed joints is minimized.
But even with the lining of staircases, the steps have their own charm. If a single slab is damaged, only the defective area is replaced. Of course, when choosing the facing material, it is advisable to select a set of materials, which includes finished steps and plinth. The edge of the finished skirting board has a rounded shape that allows you to give the riser and ladder a neat appearance.
Helpful Tips
Regardless of the selected lining material, the size of the tile is selected according to the width of the step. This will minimize the number of seams and, accordingly, additional work.
wood paneling
The traditional design of the staircase is external or for internal use of a private house, made on a concrete base or with a metal frame looks boring. Therefore, the lining of the stairs with a tree will decorate the primitive construction.
We must pay tribute to the fact that the finish of artificial or natural wood transforms the ladder. The lining of the stairs can be made completely or partially.
The wood is used by the designers to give the solidity and solidity of the staircase. This is especially noticeable for the marching staircase leading to the second floor of a country house.
Stages of lining wood with stairs :
• selection of the tree species and creation of the sketch of the cladding
• finishing steps, stair tunnels, marches and platforms
• installation of handrails or handrails
• Finish with varnish, wax or mastic.
Helpful Tips
Experts advise you to choose an array of wood for the lining of stairs. Absolutely not suitable for veneering parquet boards, because with intensive movement on the stairs, they will regularly "fall out". For treads and risers, it is recommended to choose a well-dried wood with a straightforward arrangement of the wood pattern and no defects - knots, chips or cracks. Let us say that this is a class I wood with the designation "E" - oak, beech and ash. Wood of coniferous trees is best used for skirting and risers.

facing of stairs by decking
The leading place in the line of street facing materials is decking. The stairs that lead to the terrace of the private house look impeccable and stylish.
When installing steps of stairs, the following mounting options are used for decking:
• concealed fastening system
• using wooden support bars 5.1 x 10, 2 cm.
With the flush mounting system, clips are initially installed on each riser. Then, install the first and second boards. The fastening is carried out with screws, passing from the edge of the board directly to the riser.
When using support bars, clips are initially installed on each riser. Then set the first board, and then the bar between the riser. In the previously prepared hole in the bar set a second board. Fasten the boards with screws that run from below through the steps and bars.
By choosing a suitable facing material for stairs, you can safely proceed to the lining.
