Tiling front entrance steps

boardtc · 2025-04-30 11:18:00

I am considering tiling the top and front of our front steps. We put in a porcelain tile patio and tiled steps at the back that get slippery at times. Even though I have enough leftover tiles, it would be too sketchy to put porcelain tiles on the front steps. Any recommendations are very much appreciated. Thanks!

Be careful of turning them into slip hazards.

I would 100% go with no slip tiles here, you might also want to look at some railings/guard rails…

Often see them around pools or wet areas, one draw back is that the non slip part also tends to keep them dirtier than they would otherwise be.
