DESIGN AND FUNCTIONALITY OF PRECAST STAIRS
When working with Nitterhouse Concrete, your prefabricated concrete stairs are prepared at our 127,500-square-foot facility. Architects, construction professionals and engineers alike can benefit from the stress-free design process in which our experts make recommendations for setups. We begin the process by learning more about the intended use of your orders and gathering dimensions for accuracy.
Building concrete steps used to involve cast-in-place methods that were messy, time consuming and difficult to monitor. With Nitterhouse, your precast concrete stairs arrive at job sites in an efficient set up for a seamless installation. Your finished product is crafted without being exposed to changing temperatures, winds and moisture which can weaken the structural integrity of concrete.
CUSTOM CONCRETE MIXTURES FOR PRECAST STAIRS
Nitterhouse Concrete separates itself from the competition by walking clients through each part of the precast stair design phase. We’ve been in business since 1923, and we have a reputation for only using the highest-quality aggregates to manufacture our precast stairs. Our designs let you complement a building’s exterior with precast stairs in matching or contrasting shades.
HANDRAILS AND STEEL REINFORCEMENTS
Metal handrails and treads help keep your installations up to code. Speak to us about designing a precast stair set that has safety as a major consideration for during construction access— these designs save all trades time during the overall construction process.
Additionally, our precast designs incorporate steel reinforcements for heavy loads. We space out these supports to reduce the chances of stress cracks year-round. There is a great deal of usage flexibility with our precast stairs, as you can use them for entryways, basements and other above grade applications.

APARTMENTS
Our 3 different configurations make it possible for residents to reach different floors in multilevel complexes. Our prefabricated concrete steps reduce impact vibrations that might disturb those living near high foot traffic areas like laundry facilities, mailrooms and trash receptacles.
