Stair and landing coatings for busy buildings

Built for treads, risers and landings

Concrete stairwells in condos, multi-residential buildings, offices, schools and hospitals often start as bare or painted concrete. Paint wears off the treads first, and the edges chip. We grind or abrade each tread, riser and landing, repair chipped nosings and cracks, then apply a coating system suited to the traffic. Options include solid colour epoxy, flake, quartz and fast-curing polyaspartic topcoats.

Grip and visible edges

Every tread gets an anti-slip texture built into the coating. The front edge of each step can be finished in a contrasting colour, either as a coated band or with a separate nosing, so each step edge is easy to see. Landings can match the treads or get a different colour to mark the change from stair to landing.

Working in occupied buildings

Stairwells are often exit routes, so closures need planning. We coordinate with property managers and condo boards, post notices, and phase the work so another stairwell stays available. Where the layout allows, we coat alternate steps or half the width at a time so a stair can stay partly in use.

Ventilation is set up for each stairwell, and where odour is a concern we discuss product options and schedule those steps for off-hours. Our crews carry commercial liability insurance, are WSIB compliant, and are trained in WHMIS, First Aid and Worker Health & Safety Awareness.
