Tile samples for your Rockwall, TX home's stairway

Can tile be installed on stairs?


Tile flooring is a gorgeous and hard-wearing floor covering that you will love, no matter where it's installed. It offers outstanding visuals, excellent durability, and a lifespan that can provide more than 50 years with proper maintenance.

But can you install tile for stairs? Let?s find out!

Tile flooring for stairs

Tile is an excellent choice for even your busiest spaces because they are so resistant to wear, stains, chips, cracks, and fading, making them perfect for staircases. These areas are often highly traveled, making tile an affordable material for the task.

You can easily install tile on staircases that are level and flat, but you must also consider the weight of the tile. The stairs should hold the weight of these pieces without damaging the integrity of the stairs themselves.

If you have a stair that is not level, it?s possible to use a subfloor cement board to help level the area, giving you a stable space to attach the tile. This can even correct some of your stair problems and create a stunning new visual at the same time.

For added safety, especially if you have children, you can always ask about adding a slip-resistant coating to your stairs. This reduces the chances of slipping and falling to give you complete peace of mind with your new installation.
