GUIDE TO CHOOSING AND INSTALLING STAIRCASE CLADDING STONE

Stone is a highly popular material for staircase cladding due to its durability, easy maintenance, moisture resistance, and cost-effectiveness. Unlike wood, stone doesn't warp or mold over time.

1. Recommended Stone Types

• Granite is the top choice for staircases thanks to its hardness, strength, and uniform color.

• Marble has a luxurious appearance but is softer, more porous, and better suited for feature spaces.

• A budget-friendly approach is to combine natural granite for treads with artificial stone for risers.

2. Color Selection

• Choose colors that align with your feng shui elements and personal preferences.

• Popular colors: Black Galaxy, Phu My White, Baltic Brown, Khanh Hoa Purple, etc.

3. Installation Techniques

• Stone thickness: 2.5 - 3cm recommended

• Main steps: Surface prep, riser installation, tread installation, skirting cut, grouting, and final cleaning.

4. Maintenance Tips

• Use pH-neutral cleaning agents

• Avoid stagnant water on the surface

• Re-polish after years of use for lasting shine and beauty
