Silca System for Stairs: Edging Solutions for Tile Upstands, Timber & Cement Board Finishes
Finishing the edges of your steps, stairs, and raised platforms is just as important as the installation itself. With Silca System, you can choose from various edging solutions to complete your project. Here are the most popular methods:
1. Tile Upstands
Tile upstands are a modern and seamless option for finishing the edges of steps and stairs. This method involves extending the tile vertically along the riser to create a continuous, cohesive appearance that ties the entire installation together. Tile upstands also offer moisture resistance, ensuring the longevity of your deck structure. .
2. Timber Finishes
If you’re looking to add a touch of natural elegance to your project, consider using timber finishes. A timber fascia can be easily attached to the Silca System framework, providing a warm aesthetic while maintaining the durability and structural support the system offers. Timber finishes are ideal for creating a rustic or contemporary look, depending on the materials chosen. .
3. Cement Board & Render
For a more solid, robust finish, cement board can be affixed to the Silca System framework, then rendered or clad with stone, tiles, or other materials. This approach provides excellent durability and adds a contemporary, sleek finish to your project, while also providing extra protection against moisture. .
