Concrete Stairs

Concrete stairs are most commonly used for interior and exterior access stairwells, as well as in larger pavilions and concrete pools.

Concrete stairs may be formed in a straight run, leading from one floor to another without a turn or change in direction. Stairs may change direction, commonly by two straight flights connected at a 90 degree angle landing. Stairs may also return onto themselves with 180 degree angle landings at each end of straight flights forming a vertical stairway commonly used in multistory buildings.

Many variations of geometrical concrete stairs may be formed of circular, elliptical and irregular constructions.

Your Concrete Slab & Stairs Questions - FAQ

What is the purpose of a concrete slab?

A slab is a structural element, made up of concrete material, used to create flat horizontal surfaces such as stairs, floors, roof decks, and ceilings. A slab is generally several inches thick and supported by beams, columns, walls, or the ground. Authentic Construction Ltd. is an expert at this type of construction.

 

What are the types of concrete slabs?

  • Slab-on-ground which is typically the most common type of slab
  • Suspended slab
  • Precast slab
  • Using cement extender
  • Using recycled aggregate.
  • Is it cheaper to lay concrete or slabs?

    As far as concrete installation costs and the cost of concrete, poured concrete is technically the most affordable per square foot. Though upfront costs of pavers are higher, concrete pavers offer greater value and durability than poured concrete and stamped concrete.

    What is the typical lifespan of a concrete slab?

    For our large scale projects like commercial buildings, concrete should last up to 100 years provided the proper care. Concrete projects that experience more wear-and-tear like sidewalks and driveways have an expected lifespan of about 50 years.

     

    Can you pour a concrete slab over old concrete?

    Yes, you can certainly pour fresh concrete over existing concrete. As long as your concrete is in mint condition, this task is doable. If you decide to pour a new mixture over an old slab, be sure it is at least 2 inches thick.

    Is concrete good for stairs?

    Authentic Construction Ltd. concrete stairs can withstand heavy loads and high impact and do not rust in wet conditions. In addition, concrete using ICF is fire-resistant, which is why it is often used for fire exit stairwells. Because concrete can absorb vibrations, it is effective in soundproofing, making it ideal for hospital or school staircases.
