Exterior Concrete Stairs

We know durability is important with an exterior staircase. Our exterior precast stair treads are fabricated in our acid wash finish which provides a light grit texture to the concrete surface that is easy to maintain outdoors. A variety of abrasive strip options provide additional safety and design options. Our precast treads are fabricated with glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) mix for superior strength and durability in comparison to conventional concrete.

Applications of Precast Concrete Stairs

Precast concrete stairs find extensive applications in a range of settings, including commercial and industrial sectors, residential buildings, and in challenging landscapes where traditional poured concrete stairs are difficult to install.

Commercial and industrial settings greatly benefit from precast concrete stairs due to their durability and versatility. These steps can be custom-made in various sizes and shapes to suit the specific requirements of establishments such as shopping centers, warehouses, and factories. Precast concrete stairs also offer cost-effective solutions as they can be quickly installed, minimizing downtime and disruption to businesses.

In addition to standalone applications, precast concrete stairs can be seamlessly combined with other precast concrete products to form a complete structure. For instance, precast stair treads can be integrated into the design of precast parking garages or multi-story buildings. This integration ensures consistency in the aesthetics and provides a uniform appearance throughout the structure.

Residential settings also benefit from precast concrete stairs. These environments often pose difficulties for installing traditional poured concrete stairs due to uneven terrain or limited access. Precast concrete stairs offer a practical solution as they can be manufactured off-site, transported, and then easily installed, reducing time and labor costs. Additionally, precast concrete stairs can be designed to complement the overall architectural style of the residence, providing an attractive and functional addition to the property.

Gain Advantages with Precast Concrete Stairs

Precast concrete stairs offer numerous advantages in construction projects. Firstly, they are a faster and more efficient way of building stairs compared to onsite casting. Precast stairs are manufactured at a separate facility, allowing for controlled conditions and accurate measurements. This leads to quicker production and installation times, which ultimately saves valuable time on construction sites.

Additionally, precast concrete stairs are easier to work with. They come in ready-to-install units that can simply be lifted into place, eliminating the need for onsite casting and extensive formwork. This not only reduces labor costs but also minimizes the risk of errors or delays during the construction process.

From an economic standpoint, precast concrete stairs provide significant cost savings. Their offsite manufacturing results in lower material waste and transportation costs. Moreover, the reduced construction time means faster project completion, allowing for earlier occupancy and revenue generation.

Precast concrete stairs can be used in a wide range of buildings and structures. They are commonly found in parking structures, office buildings, schools, churches, and multi-housing facilities. Their versatility and durability make them an ideal choice for both interior and exterior applications.

One of the key advantages of precast concrete stairs is the wide range of customizable options available. They can be designed to match specific architectural styles, colors, and finishes. Additional features such as handrails and non-slip treads can also be incorporated to enhance safety and aesthetics.
