Stairs made of marble amaze with their beauty and reliability. Such an interior detail can emphasize the excellent taste and wealth of the owner of the house. We will consider the features of the material and design of staircase structures in more detail in this article.

Advantages and disadvantages

Stairs made of natural stone are widely used both in private homes and in public places. Marble is unique materials in its properties and appearance. The surface of natural stone has a unique pattern that is not repeated on the material, even if the rocks are mined in the same deposit. Therefore, it is impossible to find two staircases with absolutely identical marble steps.

Compared to granite, marble is less hard, so stairs made from this material are mainly installed indoors rather than outdoors.

Marble structures have a number of positive qualities.

The material is harmless to health, as it is absolutely environmentally friendly.
Long service life. With proper care, the staircase will last for decades, and appearance and the characteristics of the step cladding will not change. Products made from white marble begin to age only after 100 years.
A wide variety of shades and unique patterns on the tiles will allow you to choose suitable solution for any interior design.
High resistance to mechanical stress and abrasion.

The material is not subject to deformation and is also resistant to chips and cracks.
Natural stone goes well with the most various materials: wood, glass, metal and so on.
Resistant to corrosion and rotting.
High strength.

Despite the impressive advantages, marble stairs have their drawbacks. Let us highlight the main disadvantages of such structures.

High price, which, in turn, is due to the high quality of the rock, as well as the costs of its extraction and processing.
Making a marble staircase yourself is extremely difficult., since the material requires special processing. For this reason, it is necessary to choose a suitable design from ready-made options, or you can order the production of the required staircase from professionals, which will be very expensive.
Natural stone visually looks quite bulky. Such stairs are not lightweight and most often take up a lot of space, and therefore are not suitable for all rooms.

The surface of the marble steps is quite slippery, especially if it is wet. To minimize the risk of traumatic situations, special anti-slip tapes must be glued to the natural stone coating.
The material is afraid of aggressive chemicals , abrasive particles and various acids.

Artificial stone and its types

In many respects, artificial marble is not inferior to natural stone, and at the same time it costs much less.

Among the advantages of this material are the following:

high strength;
long service life;
artificial stone products do not change color throughout their entire service life;
rot resistance;
wide range of different shades;
It is difficult to leave a scratch on the surface of artificial marble steps.

Uniformly painted surface artificial material can be both an advantage and a disadvantage - it all depends on the taste of the buyer. Natural stone has unique pattern, which is not repeated on marble products. In addition, artificial stone is more similar in texture to plastic.

The surface of products made from such material must be covered with a protective layer. Sometimes the protective coating is not very high quality, which can cause it to crack.

For the production of artificial stone, various components can be used and applied different technologies manufacturing.

There are several types of this material.

Cast marble. The composition of cast stone includes natural marble chips and various binding components.
Based on gypsum. Touchstone marble is made by mixing gypsum, pigments, adhesive composition and water. The resulting mass is poured into molds, and after hardening, the surface of the artificial stone is polished.

Chipped The stone can be produced in the form of tiles of various sizes.
Flexible marble, which has a liquid consistency, is made from crushed stone and acrylates. This material can be used to repair marble steps if they are damaged.

Marble processing

To make stairs, they use not just mined marble in its original form, but already processed material. The appearance and structure of the stone surface depends on the processing method used. The main technologies are mechanical and thermal effects.

Mechanical

Mechanical restoration consists of influencing the surface of the stone with various tools.

The main methods of mechanical action include several options:

Sawing stone is the very first stage of working with rock after its extraction. The marble is divided into slabs and sent for further processing.
Grinding stone allows you to get a matte finish that has anti-slip properties. This type processing is excellent for making marble steps and is used as final stage impact on the surface of the stone.
Spot impact allows you to form on the surface of the stone convex relief and create different patterns. Marble undergoes this treatment when making balusters or railings.

Polishing surface allows you to form a perfectly smooth and shiny coating. This type of processing well emphasizes the natural pattern of marble and its shade.
Bush hammering is a technique for artificially aging marble. With help special tool The outer layer is unevenly removed from the surface of the stone, forming chips on the surface.

Thermal

Heat treatment involves exposure to stone high temperatures or pressure. This method also includes processing chemicals and acids.

Heat treatment involves briefly heating the stone to its melting point, which increases the strength of the material.

Another variety heat treatment is crystallization. This method is also used to improve the strength of the material. On the surface of the stone in this case exposed to special chemicals.

Finish options

Stairs made of natural stone will decorate the interior of almost any design. Not only the steps of the structure, but also other elements, such as balusters and railings, can be made from marble.

Natural stone goes well with many materials, so the components of the staircase are often made of iron, wood or high-strength glass.

Stairs on metal frame less bulky and fit well into a modern interior. Dimensional marble staircase with wrought iron metal railings visually looks lighter.

For the manufacture of enclosing structures, the following materials are often used:

natural and artificial marble or another stone;
various metals - mainly alloy steel, aluminum and cast iron;
expensive wood species;
glass fencing.

To give the staircase a complete look, it is recommended to use marble skirting boards for finishing. Such products come in the following types:

straight skirting boards are fixed after the main structural elements are installed - steps and risers;
solid models are attached at the very beginning, and only then the steps are placed under the baseboard;
curly.

steps

As you know, stairs made of natural stone are quite expensive. The more marble used to make the structure, the higher its final cost will be. It is not necessary to use ready-made steps from big piece marble.

There are several equally attractive finishing options:

marble tiles;
natural stone overlays;
fake diamond;
coating made using marble chips;
cast marble.

Marble tiles is finished product square or rectangular shape. Floor tiles are used to finish the steps. The tiles are laid on concrete stairs.

Overlays are a base covered thin layer marble. Overlays are glued to the tread and risers. Visually, such a coating is difficult to distinguish from steps made of monolithic stone.

Artificial marble is produced on the basis of concrete. This material can be used not only for making steps, but also for balusters. Artificial stone is significantly cheaper than natural material.

Crushed marble coverings can be purchased from ready-made version or make it yourself. To do this, you need to mix dry powder in equal proportions. cement mixture, stone flour, crushed marble of three different fractions. To give the mixture the desired shade You can add special coloring agents.

Water is gradually added to the mixed components. The solution must be constantly stirred. Ready composition will look like a thick and hard mass. To apply the coating to the steps, it is necessary to construct formwork.

The finishing process is quite labor-intensive. After the main work, the coating must be covered with film until completely dry. A staircase with steps made of marble chips is well suited for modern styles interior design.

Steps made of cast stone are made from natural crushed marble or high-quality quartz sand. Polyester or acrylic resins. Coloring agents are also added to cast marble.

Any type of product can be made from this composition by pouring the mixture into appropriate forms. It is necessary to apply to the surface of the material protective layer based on epoxy resin.
