Concrete Stairs Hobart, TAS

Our concrete stairs installation process involves several key steps to ensure a durable and aesthetically pleasing result. Here’s an overview:

1. Design & Planning: The first step is to understand the requirements and design preferences of the client. This includes measuring the space, determining the number of steps, and selecting the desired finish, such as exposed aggregate, polished, or stamped concrete.

2. Site Preparation: The area where the stairs will be installed is cleared and prepared. This may involve removing any existing structures, leveling the ground, and ensuring proper drainage to prevent future damage.

3. Formwork: A wooden or metal form is created to shape the concrete stairs. The form is carefully constructed to the correct dimensions and angles to ensure the stairs are even and well-aligned.

4. Reinforcement: Steel rebar or wire mesh is added within the formwork for reinforcement. This provides added strength to the concrete, ensuring the stairs remain stable and secure over time.

5. Concrete Pouring: Once the formwork and reinforcement are in place, concrete is mixed and poured into the forms. The concrete is spread evenly and compacted to eliminate air pockets, ensuring a solid and smooth surface.

6. Finishing: After the concrete has been poured, the surface is smoothed and finished according to the chosen design. This may include techniques like troweling, stamping, or polishing to create the desired appearance.

7. Curing: Concrete needs time to cure and set properly. During this period, it is kept moist to ensure proper strength development. The curing process typically takes a few days to a week, depending on the conditions.

8. Final Touches: Once the concrete is fully set, the forms are removed, and any finishing touches, such as edge treatments or sealing, are applied to enhance the appearance and protect the surface.
