Semi-planning front door improvements for the summer.

Image is our current step.

 

The quarry tiles are slippy when wet, couple cracked and I think a couple have delaminated, if not here then definitely in the couple of verandas with the same tiles.

 

Ideally needs a step too As it's a pretty big lift up.

 

But I'm lacking ideas what to do beyond sand stone on top and render front, I doubt the pre-bought semi-circles would fit anyway so presumed a custom job is in order. But also worried sandstone is slippy when wet and icy.

 

And a general question. What's the large tiles lipping over the front called?
