Stair Treads and Risers

Our stair treads and risers combine safety, durability, and style for residential and commercial projects. Available in bluestone, granite, sandstone, limestone, travertine, and marble, each piece is cut for precise installation and designed to withstand heavy use and harsh outdoor conditions. Choose bullnose or pencil edge finishes to match pool surrounds, garden steps, alfresco areas, or indoor staircases.

Stair Treads and Risers

Stair treads and risers are the essential components of a safe, functional, and visually appealing staircase. Treads form the horizontal step surface and risers are the vertical face between steps. At Paving Supplies, we offer stair treads and risers in natural stone including travertine, limestone, marble, granite, sandstone, and bluestone. These stones are selected for slip resistance, weather durability, and the ability to complement both modern and traditional designs.

Choose bullnose or pencil edge finishes to match your project. Standard sizes are 1200x350x30mm treads and 1200x170x20mm risers, with custom orders available. Whether for pool surrounds, garden steps, courtyards, balconies, or indoor staircases, our stair treads and risers deliver both safety and style.

  • Slip-resistant surfaces for secure footing in all conditions
  • High-density stone for long-term durability
  • Profiles designed for comfort, safety, and clean installation lines
  • Material and finish options that match our pavers and pool coping

Frequently Asked Questions About Stair Treads and Risers

What is the best stone for outdoor stair treads and risers
Bluestone, granite, and sandstone are best for heavy-use outdoor stairs due to their strength and slip resistance. Travertine and limestone are ideal for lighter-use or decorative applications.

What’s the difference between bullnose and pencil edge finishes
Bullnose features a rounded edge that is comfortable underfoot and safer for barefoot areas. Pencil edge offers a modern, squared look with slightly softened corners.

Do stair treads and risers need sealing
Yes, sealing is recommended for most natural stone to prevent staining, enhance colour, and reduce maintenance needs.

Can I install stone treads and risers over existing stairs
Yes, provided the base is level and structurally sound. They can be installed over concrete or masonry with the right adhesives.

Are custom sizes available
Yes, we can source or cut custom dimensions to suit non-standard staircases. Contact our team for lead times and pricing.

Can they match my existing paving
Yes, many stair treads and risers are available in the same stone and finish as our pavers and pool coping, allowing for a consistent design across your project.
