DON'T JUST LISTEN TO US.

No really, you shouldn't just take it from us...

You should listen to the builders & formworkers who've experienced the best of both worlds.

They've already compared the build methods >>
precast, preformed, in-situ & steel.

They've already compared suppliers for >>
lead times & reliability, customer service, product range, product quality & finish, site assistance & welding.

Don't waste your time trying to sort it out yourself!
They've done the hard work for you - take advantage of that.

Preformed vs. Conventional Stairs

With over 20 years' experience with prefabricated formwork systems, we've come up with this comparison including all the pros & cons you need to weigh up your decision...

>> CONVENTIONAL STAIRS <<

PROS
» it's typically the cheapest method on paper
» it's a well-established construction method that's been used for many years

CONS
» it's very labour intensive & can take a long time.
» the method can be easily out of tolerance (at around +-20mm)
» it tends to create a lot of waste with stripping the formwork

>> PREFORMED STAIRS <<

PROS
» stairs that are preformed typically speed up the construction by 70-80%
» handrails can be fitted before the stairs are installed, providing immediate edge protection & a safer site
» an in-built screed fold ensures you have level, accurate treads every single time.
» it's built to very, very high tolerances (+-2mm/3mm)
» the long-term costs are much cheaper & with handrails included in the package you have less trades onsite.
» it comes with a full design package

CONS
» it can seem expensive
» it's an innovative construction method that many are unfamiliar with

So there you have it... what type of stairs do you use?
