Stair Step Grinding
Last updated: Views: 12

The staircase is the most heavily worn part of a building. Steps that are stepped on at the same spot every day develop a hollow in the middle, the nosing becomes rounded or breaks, the shine disappears and the surface becomes dangerously slippery. Step grinding is detailed work carried out with hand-held grinding tools in these narrow areas that floor machines cannot reach. We work on staircases in apartment buildings, housing complexes, villas and hotels across Antalya, Mersin, Adana and Muğla.

What do we do in step grinding?

  • Step surface grinding: Steps worn in the middle are leveled, and scratches and stains are removed.
  • Nosing repair: Broken and rounded step nosings are filled with resin and reshaped.
  • Riser and skirting: Vertical faces and stair skirtings are brought to the same tone as the steps.
  • Anti-slip grooves: If desired, thin grooves are cut into the step nosing or anti-slip tape is applied.
  • Landing: Intermediate landings are ground with a floor machine to ensure consistency with the staircase.

Places where we do step grinding

  • Apartment staircases: Common-area steps worn down floor after floor.
  • Villa staircases: Spiral or straight marble staircases indoors.
  • Hotels and office towers: Lobby staircases and fire escapes.
  • Exterior stairs: Building entrance and garden steps.

How do we work?

  • Inspection: We examine the number of steps and the condition of wear and breakage, and give you the price on site.
  • Protection: We protect the handrails, walls, and carpets.
  • Repair: We fill broken nosings and cracks with resin.
  • Grinding: Using handheld machines, we work the step faces and edges progressively.
  • Finishing: We give the desired level of shine and, if needed, cut anti-slip grooves.

In apartment buildings and housing complexes, we work on half of the staircase at a time, so we can proceed without interrupting foot traffic.

Can a polished step be safe?

A polished step looks beautiful, but it can be dangerous, especially with wet shoes. We provide safety without compromising on appearance.

  • Groove cutting: Thin grooves cut into the step nosing improve traction without spoiling the look.
  • Silky finish: The step tread can be left semi-matte while the risers stay glossy.
  • Anti-slip strip: On exterior stairs, a clear or colored anti-slip strip is applied.

Frequently asked questions

01Can the staircase be used while the stairs are being honed?
Yes. While we work on one half of the steps, the other half remains usable.
02Can a broken stair nosing be repaired without replacing it?
In most cases, yes. We fill it with resin matched to the color of the stone and level it with the surface through honing, so the repair is not noticeable.
03Does cutting grooves damage the steps?
No. The grooves are cut to a depth of only a millimeter and at even intervals, so they do not affect the strength of the stone.
