Strong and Durable with L-Steps supplied in standard lengths from 1.000 metres up to 2.000 metres for a corresponding clear span of 0.800 metres to 1.800 metres between bearing support walls.

Top tread and riser units are supplied in standard lengths from 1.000 metres to 1.200 metres . Where the overall span for the top tread or riser is required to exceed 1.200 metres then these units can be supplied as two sections. Where a tread is unsupported by an L-Step then the tread unit is to be fully bedded onto a beam and block floor or insitu landing.

Note: It is recommended that step units are installed to a small fall to prevent excess water from accumulating on the tread part when used externally in association with an anti-slip finish.

Design performance generally in accordance with BS.8110 1985 and for a distributed load of 4kn/m2 or a point load of 4.5kn as loadings specified in BS.6399 Pt.1. The step system is designed for moderate exposure conditions as defined by BS.8110. Step units to comply with more severe conditons can be manufactured as a special.

Addtional slip resistance can be achieved for external use by providing an acid etch or exposed aggregate finish to the units.

Furthermore, slip resistant inserts containing high friction additives can be cast into the stpe making it ideal for areas where wet or greasy conditions are likely to be a problem. Slip resistant inserts are available in different colours with details available on request.

Standard steps can be used in conjunction with a typical anti slip adhesive tape or proprietary anti slip coating available from most builders merchants.

Save on valuable floor space by using the Mexboro Winding L-Step system.

Used in conjunction with the general or disabled L-Step system, winding L-Steps provide an ideal way of constructing a 90 degree return within the stair where a half landing is not required.

The winding steps are supplied in a standard length to suit a maximum opening of 1.200 metres and the projecting overhang is cuttoff on site to suit.

To order, simply tell us whether the return is left or right handed and whether they are being used in conjunction with general or diabled L-Step system.

Simply by varying the amount of bedding from a minimum of 4mm to a maximum of 25mm in certain applications. The joint between the step is to be fully bedded in mortar and a 100mm solid bearing is to be provided as support to each end.
