Porcelain stoneware
Pool steps and other porcelain stoneware solutions
Straight, corner and curved steps in 20 mm porcelain stoneware — designed for permanent immersion, chlorine exposure and year-round outdoor use. A single coordinated palette covers the whole pool: steps, tank lining, overflow coping, wet areas and terraces.
Engineered for permanent immersion
Every Rosagres pool element is made from the same high-density porcelain stoneware body used across the rest of the catalogue, fired above 1200 °C and rectified on all sides. That shared process is what makes it possible to combine a step, an overflow coping and a terrace in one continuous palette instead of matching several materials by eye.
The water absorption of the body stays below 0.5 %, the surface keeps its grip under water and when wet, and the material withstands frost, thermal shock and the daily chemistry of pool water without resealing, waxing or protective films.

The pool steps range
Four geometries cover the standard entries into a pool: a straight module for linear walls, a mitred corner, a curved radius for rounded basins and a bench that turns the first step into a seat. All of them share the same 20 mm body, the same R11 surface and the same colour references as the pool coping.
Straight step
The standard entry module. One piece, one joint line, continuous with the tank lining for a clean visual line along the pool wall.
Corner step
For entry points in a corner, with a factory-controlled 45° mitre so both runs of the step meet perfectly.
Curved step
Radiused modules that follow a rounded basin without cutting the profile, keeping the same tread depth throughout the curve.
Bench & spa seat
Where the first step becomes a seat, the bench modules close the sequence with the same piece that runs along the tank. Slatted or solid surfaces are produced in the pool colours and in matt finishes for wet feet.

Other porcelain stoneware solutions
The same body that forms the steps is used across the areas around the water, so the project reads as one material from the tank to the terrace.
Pool tank lining
Full-height cladding for the tank walls and floor in 20 mm and 12 mm bodies, with matching grout colours for a seamless underwater finish.
Ask about it
Overflow coping
Single-piece coping and overflow channel covers, mitred or continuous, resistant to the constant wetting and salt deposits at the waterline.
Ask about itInternal corners & thresholds
Purpose-built corner, threshold and drain-edge pieces that remove the fragile cut joints usually found around a pool entry.
Ask about itPool deck
Large-format slabs for the surrounding deck, laid on sand or grass and specified in the same colour as the steps to unify the composition.
Ask about it
Changing rooms
Floors and wall cladding for locker rooms and changing areas, with R11 surfaces in areas that stay wet through the season.
Ask about itShowers & spa
Wall and floor pieces with a matt finish and chemical resistance suited to hot water, spa chemistry and frequent cleaning.
Ask about itBathrooms
Continuous floor-to-wall application for hotel and residential bathrooms, where the same colour can run from the hall into the shower area.
Ask about itTechnical & service areas
Technical ceramic finishes for plant rooms, back-of-house areas and any surface exposed to detergents and heavy traffic.
Ask about itTerraces & paths
20 mm slabs for terraces, paths and garden floors, installed on pedestals, sand or grass with a stable R11 grip in wet weather.
Ask about itFaçades
Ventilated façade cladding in large formats, with matching corner and edge trims for a complete envelope system.
Ask about itBalconies & rooftops
Frost-resistant finishes for exposed terraces and rooftops, tested for thermal shock between the pool water and the summer surface.
Ask about itOutdoor kitchens & barbecue areas
Heat- and stain-resistant surfaces for preparation areas next to the pool, in the same colour family as the steps.
Ask about itPerformance you can specify
Pool steps live in the harshest corner of a ceramic project: always wet, sometimes chlorinated, and touched with bare feet. These are the properties that matter, and the values we publish for each reference.
Vitrified body, almost no absorption
Fired above 1200 °C, the body stays below 0.5 % water absorption. Water does not enter the tile, so freeze-thaw cycles and frost have nothing to freeze inside it.
R11 grip that survives the water
A calibrated surface roughness, verified wet, that keeps its slip resistance in the tread zone instead of becoming a polished surface under constant immersion.
Chemical resistance, class A
Chlorine, algaecides, PH correctors and common cleaning products leave no stain, no etching and no loss of colour on the vitrified surface.
Frost and thermal shock
Tested according to EN 202, so the step can be frozen overnight and then meet warm pool water the next morning without cracking or delaminating.
No maintenance treatment
No sealing, no waxing, no protective film. A closed, non-porous surface is simply rinsed, which keeps the running cost of the pool area at zero.
One palette for the whole project
Steps, coping, tank lining, wet areas and terraces are drawn from the same colour references, so a single order can cover the complete pool area.
