Concrete Steps 

Concrete can be used to make durable, aesthetically-pleasing, yet affordable steps. Concrete steps are used for many purposes, especially to help us access the higher and lower parts of a building or a house. Concrete steps should be appropriately installed to ensure optimum quality and safety. 

Benefits

There are a lot of advantages to using concrete over other materials when making steps. Primarily, concrete is naturally fire-resistant, which makes it an ideal material for home and even commercial construction. Concrete is significantly cheaper compared to other materials in the market, but it does the job well. Constructing steps out of concrete is a great choice because of the many benefits it presents. You can install concrete steps regardless of the climate because they can endure any weather. Aside from that, concrete steps are not appealing to destructive pests and insects, which make it a better option than the others. If installed correctly, concrete steps can last you a lifetime. 

Concrete steps can be categorized into two types:

Poured steps- The entire construction of poured steps happens on site. One of the main benefits of poured steps is the ease of its transportation. It is more convenient to transport the liquid concrete mixture compared to the precast steps. Wet concrete will conform to whatever container you put it into, so you don’t have to worry about it not fitting the allotted space you reserve for it. Further, wet concrete can be customized to your preferred shape and color. With stamping, we can add texture and patterns to the liquid concrete. We can even add pigment to the mixture to achieve the color you desire for your steps. 

Precast steps- As for precast steps, the production, including the measuring and the design happens before it’s transported to the site. It is necessary to use heavy equipment such as crane to deliver precast concrete because of its significant weight. When the hardened steps have been placed on its allotted space, wet concrete will be used to fasten them in place. One of the advantages of using precast steps is that you don’t have to wait long before you can put traffic on it because it’s already dried up.
