Replacement Steps
Replacement Steps is an exterior stair/stairway replacement product to be utilized in renovation or new construction engineering projects that is superbly durable, safe, long lasting, quickly installed, cost effective, and maintenance free. This revolutionary product has been engineered for superior strength, and its skid protection is the same used by the US Navy on aircraft carrier decks. It utilizes light weight, easily handled components that can be put together at the job site, negating the necessity of pouring concrete, welding parts together, or using a crane to assist in heavy assembly, or in lifting heavy parts. These factors allow for quick assembly, which is extremely useful for stairway replacement in today’s environmental setting. All current forms of exterior stair steps, once installed, are destined to become failed products, and last a rather short time due to premature failure caused by several contributing factor, including weather, and chemicals such as de-icers, etc. This product is virtually impervious to these factors. No matter what materials are used, whether it is diamond plate metal, solid concrete, concrete poured in metal pans, or wood, they will never reach a lifespan that justifies the cost.
The average time to replace a 13 to 14 riser stairway with commonly used materials is a minimum of 9 to 10 hours. Due to this, another factor cam come into play. In certain areas, there are laws and regulations that prohibit the closing down of stairs for more than a few hours. The time for demolition of 13 to 14 risers, to the time of completion using Replacement Steps is less than 4 hours. This factor adds up to a substantial saving of time and money.
Certain places, due to terrain of other conditions, make it impossible for concrete trucks to get to a site or position themselves to pour a load. No crane or heavy loading is required. Replacement Steps are very easy to move, handle, and install.
Safety problems, such as slipping or tripping are not a factor with this product because they will not crack or scale. They have a built-in skid finish to protect tenant/guest pedestrians. This is the same skid protection used by the US NAVY on the decks of their aircraft carriers. The steps are interlocked during installation, and as such, act as a single unit from top to bottom, thereby creating superb rigidity.
Metal and/or concrete stair lifespan can be as little as 7 years. Replacement Steps lifespan is guaged to be 25+ years. And they require virtually no upkeep.
Most general building codes require step load capacity to be at the 600 lbs. per sq. mark. Replacement Steps have been engineered for superior strength. They have been tested and inspected. Their weight bearing capacity exceeds 1500 lbs. per sq. foot.
Replacement Steps will manufacture a mould to fit each stairway account by individual measurements as to width, depth, and height of each stringer, starter kick plate and bull nose.
