RE: 'muret' Could this be a simple sp. mist. in place of the verb 'murer',= to brick up, block up the stairs?
Richardson Lisa Dec 27, 2008:
Do you know if this is inside or outside?Muret tends to suggest in the garden in which case i would agree with Helen .If it's inside then could it be refering to the rise of the treads , especially if this is in concrete?

muret Peut-être une illustration de situation:

Alors ce qui me gene: c'est que les marches "débordenté du petit muret sur le coté des escaliers, la rambarde quoi; pour moi, l'angle des marches devrait venir affleurer ce muret.

dry stone walling to sides of steps

This would be my guess; that it is either dry stone walling or just a small expanse of walling to enclose a series of steps.

But I am not sure as the low confidence level suggests. Does it fit with your context?
Peer comment(s):
neutral Bourth (X) : A "muret" could equally well be concrete.

See the either/or comment given with my suggestion. My guess is based on the use of a dictionary (Harraps) in which it gives both possibilities which I then give in turn. We're now obliged to enter something into the term field; can't just say see below.

(pour l'escalier à noyau)

Il est simple de carreler des marches d’une montée d’escaliers sans poser de nez de marche et pour cela il suffit d’intégrer des baguettes d’angle au niveau de l’angle des marches et elles sont fixées grâce à la colle que l’on utilise pour coller le carrelage.

Là encore, on peut recourir à la méthode manuelle pour de petites quantités de panneaux. Dans ce cas, empiler sur une surface plane les feuilles an escalier, avec un décalage égal a 6 ou 8 fois l'épaisseur. Raboter ou poncer soigneusement l'angle des marches jusqu'à obtenir un biseau régulier.
