Stairway systems have been an essential part of architecture for centuries, serving to transition from one level to another. Natural stones are the most durable and reliable materials for constructing treads, risers, and nosing of stairways.

However, in modern and contemporary architectural eras, builders construct stairways in three main components: treads, risers, and nosing. Additional features may exist depending on the type of stairway and the building’s design. For instance, in multi-storied buildings, spiraled stairways are a popular choice. By using natural stones, stairways provide a functional purpose and add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any space.
