Stone Carpet for Stairs: Stair Systems Indoors and Outdoors
Terra System covers treads and risers with stone carpet and quartz surfaces – for renovating old staircases and for new builds, indoors and outdoors.
Request a stair quoteThe STS systems give treads and risers a distinctive look. The surfaces are functional – slip-resistant and sound-absorbing – and decorative thanks to the wide range of materials and colours. Match the stairs to the floor or set deliberate contrasts, so entrances and stairwells get a character of their own.
Why stone carpet on stairs?
- Seamless look and long service life
- Slip-resistant and abrasion-resistant
- Sound-absorbing – quieter stairwells
- Quick and easy to clean
- Matched to the floor or designed as a contrast
- Stairs can generally stay in use during installation
Renovation and new build
Terra System's stair systems suit any kind of stair renovation or new construction. Indoors and outdoors, the right formulation does more than look good: the surface also protects the structure from the weather.
Stairs can generally stay in use while the surface is installed, so closures usually do not need to be planned – an advantage for stairwells in residential and commercial buildings.
Materials and technology
Depending on the requirements, we use cost-effective coatings or high-quality bound quartz surfaces. Binders are liquid plastics based on acrylic, polyurethane (PU) and epoxy (EP) resin. Aggregates can be natural stone, coloured quartz, colour chips and many other materials.
Precisely fitted profile rails, for example in aluminium, shape the surface. They protect the step edges and give the stairs a clean line.
