Hello
These porcelain tiles collection comes in a matt finish that can be used in a covered terrace or patio.
I wouldn’t recommend it for a pool deck, in this case I would recommend a different collection with a similar look which has a anti-slip finish.
You may contact me at elenag@simplesteps.me for any other questions you have.
Thank you and kind regards
Elena

tile glare query??

Here is a photo of a high gloss white floor with very bright lighting. Being in the showroom i can't say that there is a glare, but you can see reflections of the lights for sure. I did the electrical install for the space. Agree with HERE that glossy wet tile can be slick as snot.

Laminate flooring throughout?

We put tile in our kitchen, dining room, pantry, laundry area, entry hallway and coat closet as it flows together last winter. We're very happy with it after having water damage our vinyl plank floor. The only issue we have with the tile is that it's slippery for our two older dogs, but they love lying on it in the summer. I have 2 area rugs in my L shaped dining room along with several throw rugs and and runner in the other areas to provide them with traction, and they do okay. We haven't found it to be cold unless we're having a cold spell, and then it's a bit chilly, but otherwise it's fine. We live north of Seattle. My in-laws put in laminate a few years ago, and my husband says the noise of their dogs toenails on it drives him crazy. It looks very nice though.

I like the wood effect tile. If properly placed it might give the impression of an actual wood floor. Well apart from colour i guess one would have to conisder how easy they are to clean with stains and all. But more importantly how slippery they are when dry, when wet or when there is a little bit of oil on it.

Stairway revamp

You can leave the handrail the same distance from the wall as it is now. Leave it connected to the newel post at the top; remove the newel post at the bottom, and add what's called a 'return' to anchor the bottom end to the wall. Then add a couple of brackets going up the stairs. The challenge is that the return should match the profile of the handrail, in order to blend, but check at the home center or a lumber yard/mill to see if you can match it (take measurements/drawings/close-up photos, etc.). As for painting the stairs--be careful with "fun" graphics. The treads and risers need to be clearly defined and regular. For example, a plaid or check that doesn't match the tread and riser exactly at each step is a trip hazard and may not meet building codes. People need to be able to see the treads clearly even without paying attention to them. Walking is an unconscious activity and we need to make it as easy as possible. Confusing patterns are a menace. In NYC, they put new edges on treads on one stairway at one train station that were designed to make them less slippery. However, they also made it more difficult to discern the edge of the tread. In 6 weeks, more than 1,400 people fell down those stairs. Then they redid them. Over 90% of injuries on stairs happen during descent. I highly recommend Bill Bryson's great book 'At Home--A Short History of Private Life'. The NYC anecdote above came from Chapter 14--'The Stairs'. Fascinating and amusing book. My house is 100 years old, so I feel your pain dealing with the changes and additions that happened over time.
