FINISHES TO CONCRETE

Most peple look at concrete as being bland, grey and cold.

They could not be further from the truth.

A concrete staircase can be transformed into a "thing of beauty"

Concrete  stairs can be finished with a vast number of products.

For your treads and risers, tiles, wood, stone, marble and carpet.

The balustrade/hand-rail can be finished with wood, metal, glass and solid concrete.

A simple skim of plaster to your soffit and stair edge (string).

Alternatively, we can leave the concrete as "finished"

We believe you can save money by shopping around for your finishes.

finished our stairs. What better recommendation for us, than a

company who has worked on our stairs.

You will see we have attached images of the "raw" concrete along
