3. WHICH FORMAT TO CHOOSE?

The ideal format according to your project

The choice of format depends primarily on the desired aesthetic and the configuration of your staircase. Steps that are 120 cm long and 35 cm wide are the most versatile format, offering excellent ease of movement. Models that are 60 cm are suitable for smaller spaces, while 150 cm steps enhance more imposing entrances.

Available in slate, basalt, limestone, granite, or porphyry, they are suitable for both contemporary projects and more traditional designs.

Answers to your questions about stairs

How to maintain natural stone stairs?

Maintaining a natural stone staircase is simple and helps preserve its original appearance over time. After installation, it is recommended to use a post-construction cleaner, such as Lithofin multi-cleaner, to remove installation residues.

To protect the stone from water infiltration, stains, and dirt, then apply a water repellent such as Lithofin protection W. Regular cleaning with clear water or a pH-neutral cleaner will then be sufficient to maintain the full beauty of your staircase.
