For stairs, you can have Brazilian slate cut into treads (the horizontal part of the step) and risers (the vertical part).

Brazilian natural slate is an excellent choice for stairs due to its inherent slip-resistant properties. Its textured surface provides traction, reducing the risk of slips and falls. When using Brazilian slate for stairs:

1. Antislip Surface:

   • The naturally rough texture of Brazilian slate enhances grip, making it safer for stair treads.

   • It’s particularly beneficial in areas prone to moisture or foot traffic.

2. Durability:

   • Brazilian slate is highly durable and can withstand heavy use.

   • It’s resistant to wear, impact, and abrasion.

3. Customization:

   • You can have Brazilian slate custom-cut to fit your stair dimensions.

   • Ensure precise measurements for a perfect fit.

Remember to consult with a professional installer to ensure proper installation. Brazilian slate combines functionality with aesthetic appeal, making it an ideal choice for inside or outside stairs!
