What is recycled natural stone composite?
Recycled natural stone composite is a composed material in which mineral raw materials and recycled stone components are combined into a strong, stable and durable end product.
Within the Omnistair system, recycled natural stone composite forms the basis of several product lines and applications. It combines the appearance of stone with properties that matter for modern stair and circulation-space systems.
Short answer
Recycled natural stone composite is a composed mineral material for staircases and circulation spaces, and the core material within the Omnistair system. It is available in the finishes Stone Naturel, Stone Blend and Terrazzo and acts as the carrier of appearance, strength and durability.
Why does Omnistair use recycled natural stone composite?
Omnistair chose recycled natural stone composite because it aligns with the platform's principles: durability, material experience, ease of maintenance, strength, design freedom and a long service life. The material is therefore an important foundation across several product lines.
What makes this material special?
Many traditional stair finishes are based on materials such as laminate, wood, PVC or HPL. Recycled natural stone composite was developed from a different material philosophy, with a stone-like material experience at its core.
Part of the Omnistair ecosystem
Within Omnistair, recycled natural stone composite is applied across several product lines: EverStep for homes and renovation projects, EverStep Solid for intensively used buildings, and Signature for bespoke and design applications. This makes the material a connecting factor within the system.
Relationship with Stone Naturel, Stone Blend and Terrazzo
A common misunderstanding is that Stone Naturel, Stone Blend and Terrazzo are materials. They are not — these terms describe finishes and appearance types.
The material is recycled natural stone composite. The finishes are Stone Naturel, Stone Blend and Terrazzo. This makes it possible to realise different appearances from the same base material.
Applications by context
In homes: a calm appearance, ease of maintenance, design freedom and suitability for renovation. In owners' associations: intensive use, maintenance, long-term performance and a uniform appearance. In commercial buildings: load-bearing capacity, durability, maintenance and project-based applicability.

Frequently asked questions
The material is based on mineral and stone-like components brought together into a composed material. It is not solid natural stone, but a composite with a stone-like material experience.
No. Stone Naturel is a finish — an appearance type. Recycled natural stone composite is the base material on which that finish is realised.
Yes. EverStep, EverStep Solid and Signature are all based on recycled natural stone composite, each tuned to its application.
No. Owners' associations, commercial buildings and architectural projects are also application areas, each with their own performance requirements.
Because it aligns with the system philosophy of durability, material experience and ease of maintenance, with a stone-like appearance as the starting point.
