Inadequate slip-resistant tiles can result in accidents, especially when stairs are wet or during emergency situations, causing tripping hazards. - 3.
Complex Installation:
Staircases have intricate designs and angles, making tile installation more challenging than on flat surfaces. - 4.
Complex Maintenance and Repair:
Vertical orientation poses cleaning challenges. Repairing damaged tiles requires careful removal and replacement. - 5.
Differential Settling:
If the underlying structure settles unevenly, it can lead to an imbalance in the staircase, causing tiles to crack or become unevenly aligned.
