Reclaimed limestone stairs are any home owner's dream and more than likely a contractor or architect's nightmare. During the reclamation process the stairs are removed one at a time with a rough angular cut. For the stairs to be properly installed it will require some masonry knowledge, but is well worth the effort. The stairs are about 48 inches or 4 feet in length, providing an ideal stair for a refined entryway. The top of the stairs are worn smooth with a beautiful natural luster that only years of foot traffic can create. The original patina has not been removed from any area of the stair and can be preserved with sealants. Of course, not sealing the stone will also allow it to continue to accrue a patina in a natural way, as limestone so beautifully does.
Each stair is about 13 inches deep, not too thin or thick for walking up and down at any pace. As a whole, with all the stairs together the slightly varying hues and tones within the stone come together to form a radiant ambiance. The natural beauty of the stone cannot go unnoticed and the rustic patina needs little to no maintenance. These stairs are truly an architectural delight.
