RediStair® is the solution many architects and engineers have been seeking when it comes to precast stairs that, in the right application, can be implemented with reduced man hours, minimal hassle, and as a premium enhancement to their building. Traditional staircases, while functional, often require extensive construction, time, and expense. As a partner of RediStair®, we aim to disrupt this norm by producing a prefabricated, modular stair product that can be easily and more efficiently installed into a mild reinforced or post tensioned concrete structure without compromising safety or aesthetics.

What is RediStair®?

RediStair® is an innovative precast staircase system designed to enhance accessibility and convenience in residential, commercial, and public multi-story and high-rise buildings. Unlike traditional staircases, RediStair®incorporates advanced technology and ergonomic design to provide a seamless and user-friendly experience.

Features and Benefits

1. Durability and Fire Resistance: Made from our precast concrete, RediStair® stringers are inherently fire-resistant and extremely durable. This ensures a longer lifespan and reduced maintenance costs compared to other stair systems.

2. Efficiency in Construction: RediStair® significantly improves jobsite safety and efficiency. The system installs as the building rises, eliminating the need for temporary stair systems. This reduces labor costs and speeds up the construction timeline.

3. Architectural Appeal: Beyond functionality, RediStair® enhances the visual appeal of buildings with its clean and modern design.

Integration and Installation

RediStair® is engineered for easy integration into most concrete construction types, including mild-reinforced and post-tensioned concrete structures. RediStair® can also be integrated into steel-frame structures with some structural accommodations. A comprehensive load analysis is performed for each cantilevered truss (unsupported mid landing) and the load conditions are provided to the engineer for seamless incorporation into the structural model. Once fully installed, the landings do not have any support other than their connections to the structural slabs (for a typical installation), which can provide cost savings to the project due to not having to use beams, columns, and other supportive materials.

Applications of RediStair®

1. Commercial Settings: Residential and mixed-use towers that need to maximize the utility of their premises or would like a premium egress stair at a lower cost than a cast-in-place (CIP) installation can greatly benefit from RediStair®. Retail stores, offices, and even restaurants can use this innovative staircase system to enhance their layouts and improve customer flow.

2. Public Buildings: Public buildings like libraries, schools, college dormitories, and community centers can also leverage RediStair® to optimize their space and improve accessibility. The modular design makes it a flexible option that can be adapted to various public spaces.

Flexible Delivery

Additionally, RediStair® offers flexible delivery options for their precast concrete stair stringers. They can be delivered right when they are needed or in advance, with storage in organized stacks until installation. This flexibility often aligns deliveries with the start of decking operations for elevated slabs, ensuring immediate access for all trades.

Conclusion

As we continue to seek out ways to make our living and working spaces more efficient and functional, innovations like RediStair® play a crucial role. By offering a compact, customizable, and easy-to-install staircase solution, RediStair® is revolutionizing the way we think about space utilization. Its blend of practicality and design makes it an ideal choice for anyone looking to enhance their environment without sacrificing style or safety.
