Renovation of stairway and hallway areas

When the stairway in this listed building was renovated, the focus was on preserving the substance of the building and having the staircase and the adjacent hallway areas in the same colour. The plan was to renovate the imposing staircase with a step width of over 2.70 m using a product that provides both, fire protection and a secure footing, along with durability and easy cleaning. During the renovatons phase, continuous access with no restrictions had to be possible. By using the quickly-laid k-stairs staircase system, it was possible to achieve a dust-free and jointless solution without time-consuming preparatory work, such as priming, filling and grinding. The staircase and hallway
transitions with identical decors and in an authentic wood look provide a high level of safety thanks to a R10 surface and fire classification B1/ Bl-s1.

Product used: Pin oak
The advantages at a glance:
  • Tread free of butt joints up to a step width of 2.80 m

  • Stairs and hallway with the same decor

Before-after comparison

Retirement home, Sulingen

New stair construction

The construction concept of the retirement home did not want to separate the staircase, but to embed it harmoniously in the overall concept. The client therefore stipulated matching decor throughout the building. Technical specifications such as fire performance B1, slip resistance R10, as well as joint-free, closed surfaces to the stairs, met the legal requirements. The expansive steps of the building bring out the large-flowered, expressive oak decor to particularly good effect. The 2800mmlong stringer panel makes a special touch and simplifies cleaning
work in the sensitive wall connection area. The major project required the laying of more than 3000 m² of floor space over a total of three floors. The prefabrication of the k-stairs step elements and simple, fast installation ensured not least the on-time completion of the construction work.

The advantages at a glance:
  • Planning security through the elimination of labour-intensive preparatory work such as priming, filling and sanding

  • Cut-optimised length variety of the treads from 920 mm to 2800 mm

  • Significant noise reduction

Engineering office building, Büren

Concrete staircase renovation

A 1980s engineering office building got a complete refurbishment. The old, tiled concrete staircase stood in the way of the modern ambience. Because the solid tile surface was still intact, and the low construction height of the k-stairs step elements, employees were spared noisy, dust-intensive chiselling work. The natural concrete decor with its multi-faceted shades of grey blends into the whole office concept. A special requirement was the existing fire doors in the corridor area. Here, the 2.5 mm thick version was used for bonding, while on the landings clickable solid vinyl could be used. Through the side panels of the k-stairs stairs nothing can be seen of the old tile floor. The decorative vinyl wiping strips are the perfect wall finish and prevent dirt in this sensitive area.

Product used: Concrete nature
The advantages at a glance:
  • Completely matching decorative vinyl floor in two different variants

  • User-friendly accessories such as vinyl wiping strip and step bottom strips

  • Slip resistance R10 and fire performance B1 contribute to safety
