outside steps - recommended tiles

[GBASL0]

Also - I like the look of the Pilkington multi versatiles. The only question I have is do they do a step tread nosing tile for the tread edge? Can't see anything on their website about this. Also what is best place to buy these tiles?
Thanks
Andy

Andy, i got most of these tiles from ctd, and were pilkington dorset stone. They do a round edge and a double round edge for corners. Not sure about availabilty now though as pilks no longer trading as far as i know. Topps bought up a lot of their stock so might be worth checking there.

Am tackling similar steps as a DIYer - bit confused where the left hand corner of the tread tile meets the riser and side tiles on the pic to get such a professional finish.
Close up pic would be good

Heres some recents, before and after,

Hi Andy, did you end up tiling your steps? I am in London trying to get my head around the best solution to preventing water ingress through external steps over the entrance to my basement flat. I have looked into stone which is beautiful but madly expensive. Also not sure if frost is equally a problem with all tiles,stone, quarry, travertine etc. Also which waterproof membranes, adhesives, grouting and sealents are best?

Also thanks Trev for pictures it was on an endless search for exaples of tiled stairs that I found this site!
