Concrete Stair Treads Built Around Your Project
Sanderson Concrete manufactures precast concrete stair treads for commercial, exterior, landscape, institutional and architectural applications.
Rather than working from a single standard configuration, stair treads can be manufactured around project-specific requirements, including dimensions, surface finishes, edge profiles and stair nosing details.
Individual precast treads can be incorporated into a range of stair systems, allowing architects, contractors and designers to coordinate the stairs with surrounding architectural and landscape elements.
Exterior Applications
Precast stair treads for outdoor stairs, landscape projects, building entrances and public spaces.
Architectural Finishes
Coordinate exposed aggregate, sandblast, broom and other architectural concrete finishes with the project design.
Nosing & Edge Details
Incorporate project-specific stair nosing, tactile treatments and custom edge profiles where required.

Stair Nosing Options
Tactile Nosing & Edge Details for Precast Stair Treads
Stair nosing can be incorporated into precast concrete stair treads to create a distinct leading-edge treatment and coordinate the tread with project-specific functional and architectural requirements.
Sanderson Concrete offers several nosing and edge options, including trowelled tactile grooves, sandblasted strips, carborundum inserts and custom bullnose profiles.
01
Tactile Detail
Trowelled Tactile Nosing
Grooved tactile detailing can be formed near the leading edge of the tread and coordinated with light sandblast, broom and other concrete finishes.
Trowelled grooves · Integrated detail
02
Sandblasted Detail
Sandblasted Stair Nosing
A sandblasted strip can create a differentiated surface along the front portion of the stair tread while maintaining the surrounding architectural finish.
Textured strip · Finish contrast
03
Cast-In Nosing
Carborundum Nosing
Carborundum nosing can be incorporated into the precast tread where a more distinct tactile and visual edge treatment is specified.
Cast-in option · High-use applications
04
Custom Edge Profile
Bullnose Stair Treads
Rounded bullnose profiles can be combined with sandblasted or tactile details for projects requiring a more customized architectural stair edge.

Specification Consideration
Select the Nosing Around the Project Requirements
Nosing type, dimensions, contrast, surface treatment and accessibility requirements can vary by stair application and project specification. Final requirements should be confirmed by the project's qualified design professionals and applicable authorities.
Architectural Finishes
Precast Concrete Stair Tread Finishes
Select the surface appearance of your precast concrete stair treads to coordinate with the surrounding architecture, landscape and other precast elements.
Finish selection can be coordinated with colour, aggregate exposure, edge detailing and stair nosing requirements for the project.

Coordinate More Than the Surface
Why Precast?
Why Choose Precast Concrete Stair Treads?
Precast concrete stair treads are manufactured off-site, allowing dimensions, finishes and architectural details to be coordinated before the components arrive at the project.
For contractors, architects and designers, this approach can simplify stair detailing while reducing the amount of forming and finishing work required at the installation site.
01
Controlled Production
Stair treads are manufactured in a precast production environment rather than formed and finished entirely at the project site.
02
Consistent Dimensions
Precasting allows multiple stair treads to be produced around coordinated project dimensions and repeatable profiles.
03
Project-Specific Design
Dimensions, finishes, colours, edge profiles and nosing details can be coordinated around the architectural requirements of the stair system.
04
Less On-Site Forming
Because the stair components arrive already cast, projects can reduce the amount of formwork and concrete finishing required specifically for the stair treads.
05
Coordinated Stair Components
Individual treads can be considered alongside other precast stair components such as stringers, landings and stair flights where the project requires them.
06
Designed Around the Project
Sanderson Concrete works with project requirements rather than limiting stair treads to one standard appearance or configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Precast Concrete Stair Treads FAQ
Planning a precast stair project? These answers cover common questions about stair tread dimensions, finishes, nosing options, applications and project information.
01 What are precast concrete stair treads?
Precast concrete stair treads are individual concrete stair components manufactured off-site and incorporated into a stair system. They can be produced around project-specific dimensions, surface finishes, edge profiles and nosing requirements.
02 Can precast stair treads be made to custom dimensions?
Yes. Stair tread dimensions can be coordinated around the requirements of the project rather than being limited to a single standard size. Providing drawings, tread dimensions, quantities and the overall stair layout helps Sanderson Concrete review the required configuration.
03 What finishes are available for precast concrete stair treads?
Stair tread finish options can include exposed aggregate, broom finish, light sandblast and stone-textured surfaces. Finish selection can also be coordinated with concrete colour, aggregate exposure, edge detailing and other architectural precast elements.
04 What stair nosing options are available?
Depending on the project, stair treads can incorporate treatments such as trowelled tactile nosing, sandblasted nosing, carborundum nosing and custom edge profiles such as bullnose details.
Final nosing requirements should be coordinated with the project specifications and applicable design requirements.
05 Where can precast concrete stair treads be used?
Precast concrete stair treads can be incorporated into commercial, institutional, multi-residential, residential, landscape and architectural stair projects. The appropriate tread configuration depends on the stair system, application and project requirements.
06 What is the difference between stair treads and complete precast concrete steps?
Stair treads are individual horizontal components that form the walking surface of a stair system. Complete precast steps are larger precast units that incorporate multiple step surfaces into one component or coordinated step system.
For complete step units, visit our custom precast concrete steps page.
07 How are precast concrete stair treads installed?
Installation depends on the stair configuration, supporting structure and project drawings. The connection and support requirements should be determined for the specific stair system and coordinated with the project's qualified design and construction professionals.
08 What information should I provide for a stair tread quote?
Helpful information includes tread dimensions, quantity, stair layout, project location, desired finish, colour, edge or nosing requirements, and any available drawings, sketches or reference images.
