SCAl’IN produces solid masonry stairs thanks to an upstream structural study. Concrete is an ideal material for stairs because it is strong, durable, fire resistant, easy to maintain. It allows various shapes according to the projects, desires and budgets of your customers.
The advantages of concrete
Concrete makes possible to build strong stairs with a freedom of form that no other material allows.
A feature appreciated by families with children or people with sight or mobility problems.
Ideal in any space intended for delicate or weakened people. Neutrality to be taken into account in the construction of medical sites or nurseries, for example.
The only material that accepts straight lines and curves, solid and void, polish and relief in a homogeneous block.
You can combine shapes: helical, quarter turn, S-shaped, suspended Polished, waxed, painted, stained, shot-peened or even crumpled / Concrete can take on the appearance of stone, marble, wood, leather fabric. It allows all your fantasies. Play of colors, wooden slats, tiles, stones. Concrete accepts everything and all modifications over time…
Crushed, old concrete finds a new lease of life in road foundations and embankments.
No more crazy spending on intervention costs, prevention, maintenance or rehabilitation products.
The dense network of production units on the territory limits pollution by transport.
Qualities maintained over time (in technical and economic terms) combined with suitability for prolonged use. The Romans used it in the construction of viaducts and aqueducts… works that we still see today in Europe!
The drastic reduction in the risk of collapse for occupants ensures their safety.
A concrete floor may, after one hour of fire, have a temperature of 1 112 °F on the underside and only 140 °F on the upper side.
The substantial reductions in fire insurance premiums granted to industrial concrete buildings are in themselves proof of this material’s extreme resistance to flames!
After fire, concrete stairs are repairable, while any other material requires reconstruction.
The strategy of cold in summer: Concrete captures daytime heat and prevents interior overheating of the building. The accumulated night-time freshness can lower the ambient daytime temperature by 37 to 39 °F.
The combination of mass / structure can lead to noise reduction in the range of 50 to 60 decibels.
The strategy of warmth in winter:In winter, concrete stores the heat of the day and releases it very gradually at night: the daytime heating can be activated later. The savings thus achieved can reach 30% or even more.
