Good day
We are planning to use granite tiles (3cm wide (1.2 inches)) for the stairs in our new house.
We thought that rounding the edges of the stairs would be allowed. However, a friend mentioned that there are certain regulations to ensure safety against slipping.
Are these regulations also applicable to private properties?
What exactly do the regulations say regarding this?
Are granite tiles with a width of 2cm (0.8 inches) also suitable for stairs? Will they look good?
If rounding is not allowed, what types of cuts are recommended?
Thank you very much.

Inside the house, we have wooden stairs, which I like very much. The stairs go from the ground floor to the upper floor and to the basement.
