Oak Bay Stair Restoration
Failing Painted Concrete Stairs
Victoria Stone Design recently completed a restoration of a stair/ entrance of a Oak Bay home. The concrete stairs had been painted many times and were completely failing. The concrete had shifted and cracked. We started by removing the paint and fixing the bad cracks and uneven surface.
Leaking landing pad
The landing pad was unsightly vinyl, leaking and causing water damage. We installed a water proof uncoupled membrane and poured Ardex k521. A nosing piece was formed for a nice front profile.
Ardex CD fine
Once the landing was poured, the stairs and risers got multiple treatments of ardex CD fine. 3 layers were built up and sanded in between coats. ARDEX CD FINE™ is a concrete resurfacing compound modified with high-performance polymers for exceptional bond strength.
Key Features
- Resurface worn and spalled concrete to provide a “new concrete” finish
- Easy to apply
- Hardens quickly
- Freeze-thaw resistant
- Suitable for foot and rubber tire traffic on commercial and residential applications
- Use for interior and exterior floors and walls
Completed installation
This stair/ entrance restoration gave the whole house an entire makeover. The curb appeal was greatly enhanced and the homeowners were beside themselves. Lewis from Sugarfree Fabrication installed a new stainless handrail to complete the project.
