Choose Terrazzo Tread Risers for Stylish and Safe Staircases

Terrazzo stair treads have become the top choice for architects and designers seeking both style and safety. These expertly crafted components elevate staircases in commercial, residential, and institutional spaces by combining modern elegance with unmatched durability. If you're building or renovating a staircase, terrazzo treads offer the perfect blend of performance, aesthetic appeal, and built-in safety enhancements.

Why Choose Terrazzo Treads?

Terrazzo has long been favored for its sleek appearance and long-lasting quality. When used in stair treads and risers, terrazzo goes beyond surface-level beauty to deliver exceptional function. With a composite material made of marble chips and cement or resin, these treads are designed to handle high foot traffic while resisting wear, cracks, and stains.

Safety-First Design

What sets the terrazzo tread risers apart is their precision manufacturing, which includes advanced safety features. Each tread is available with integrated traction strips that reduce the risk of slips and falls. For environments that demand maximum visibility in low-light or emergency situations, photoluminescent strips can be added. These glow-in-the-dark safety markers help guide foot traffic during power outages or in dimly lit spaces—critical for schools, hospitals, transit centers, and more.

Internal Metal Support Options

For projects that require added structural support, Angelozzi’s terrazzo treads can be manufactured with internal metal reinforcement. This feature enhances load-bearing strength, which is essential in multi-level facilities and high-traffic buildings. Whether you're designing a stairwell in a public facility or a luxury office space, these options ensure the staircase remains sturdy and safe for years to come.

Customization and Aesthetics

Terrazzo treads are available in a wide range of color and aggregate combinations, allowing for customization that matches your project’s vision. From subtle, monochromatic tones to bold, colorful patterns, terrazzo can be tailored to suit both modern and traditional interiors. The clean finish of each tread adds sophistication to staircases while supporting green building standards due to the material’s recyclable and sustainable properties.

Applications for Every Industry

Terrazzo treads and risers are perfect for educational institutions, healthcare facilities, government buildings, transportation hubs, and high-end residential projects. Thanks to their seamless blend of style, strength, and safety, they are increasingly specified in LEED-certified and ADA-compliant projects.
