The dimensions of a concrete pour or a stair frame vary, so we laser measure every tread separately and number the stones in installation order. At the same time we check the riser height, tread depth, the nosing design and whether there will be side skirting stones. When every piece has its own place, the joints stay even and nothing extra has to be sawn on installation day. The drawing is gone through with you before machining. One contact person handles the whole chain.<\/p><p>The location decides the material and finish. Indoors a polished finish looks good, but on stairs it is better to favour a matt or honed finish that is not slippery in socks. Outdoors the choice is flamed or brushed granite, which withstands frost and salt and has the roughness needed for anti-slip. Ceramic works on indoor stairs as a thin, scratch-resistant tread. At the measurement we tell you which combination works on your stairs. You can look at samples at your leisure before deciding. We have more than 100 stone materials in stock.<\/p> <p><a class=\"stx-btn stx-btn-dark\" href=\"\/get-help-choosing-the-right-slab\/?lang=en\">Request a quote<\/a><\/p><\/div> <div class=\"stx-media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/stoneks.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/stoneks-tehdas-tyosto.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stoneks.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/stoneks-tehdas-tyosto-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/stoneks.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/stoneks-tehdas-tyosto-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stoneks.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/stoneks-tehdas-tyosto.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width:767px) 100vw, 50vw\" alt=\"Stoneksin tehdas \u2014 levyn ty\u00f6st\u00f6\" loading=\"lazy\"><div class=\"stx-badge\"><b>14 working days<\/b>delivery and installation from measurement<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"stx-section stx-section-grey\"><div class=\"stx-wrap\"><div class=\"stx-head\"><span class=\"stx-eyebrow\">Benefits<\/span><h2>What you get when you order directly from the factory<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"stx-grid4\"><div class=\"stx-card\"><span class=\"stx-num\">01<\/span><h3>Every tread measured separately<\/h3><p>We laser measure the treads one at a time and number the stones in installation order.

On stairs the measurement is especially important, because every tread is measured separately and machined to its own dimensions. The schedule therefore starts from the measurement day. We agree the installation day right at the measurement and tell you how long the stairs cannot be used. One contact person keeps you up to date.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>Are stone stairs slippery?<\/summary><p>A polished finish can be slippery, so for stairs a honed, brushed or flamed finish is usually chosen. On outdoor stairs we use flamed or brushed granite, which stays rough when wet and icy. If needed we mill anti-slip grooves into the nosing. At the measurement we tell you which finish suits the use and location of your stairs. You can also try samples at home.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>Do stone stairs withstand the Finnish winter outdoors?<\/summary><p>Yes, when the material and installation are right. For outdoor stairs we choose frost-resistant granite with a flamed or brushed finish. Just as important is that water can drain away and does not stand on the tread or under the joint. We check the falls at the measurement and make the joints with materials suitable for outdoor use.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>Can stone be installed over old stairs?<\/summary><p>Often it can. On concrete stairs the stone is usually installed directly over the old surface, as long as the base is load-bearing and reasonably intact. On wooden stairs we check the stiffness of the frame and the change in riser height, because the stone increases the thickness of the tread. We assess the situation at the measurement and tell you straight if the base needs to be repaired first.<\/p><\/details><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"stx-section\" style=\"padding-top:0\"><div class=\"stx-wrap\"><div class=\"stx-cta-band\"><div><h2>Request a quote for stone stairs<\/h2><p>Tell us the number of treads and whether the stairs are indoors or outdoors, and we will suggest the material and finish.
