Concrete cantilevered staircase
Floating cantilever staircase with integrated architectural lighting
Technical details:
Cantilevered staircase in exposed concrete. The surface has an R9 slip-resistance rating, and the treads are impregnated to prevent potential moisture staining.
Special concrete mix with additives (fibers) for stability
Custom-made treads.
Concealed wall anchorage; wall may remain exposed concrete or be plastered
We must be involved in the planning process so that the attachment system can be accommodated! Lead time is 10 to 12 weeks from order confirmation.
Cantilevered exposed-concrete staircase passes load testing (2011):
The newly developed cantilevered concrete tread has just been tested under a 350 kg load and passed. At only 8 cm thick (for widths up to 950 mm; 10 cm for widths up to 1,200 mm), it is the thinnest cantilevered concrete tread that can currently be manufactured.
The concrete staircase has a sophisticated internal structure. To achieve the required structural performance, additional components are incorporated into the concrete at a specific concentration. Through repeated testing, we determined the correct composition and made the “high-tech” concrete tread fully functional.
Design:
Adding LED-illuminated glass or fine wood gives the staircase an ultra-modern look. Exposed concrete itself can also provide the finishing touch to a modern home and is currently very much on trend.
