Stairs & Seating Plats
Stairs
Stair wells and stair flights (including stair landings, treads and stringers) can be manufactured in precast concrete providing an elegant and efficient solution to stairways on multi-storey buildings. Often precast concrete manufacturers have stairway moulds that are already available, however special moulds can also be produced to allow for designs that are more specialised.
