Advantages of Precast Concrete Stairs
There are considerable benefits of choosing precast concrete steps and landings for your next residential or commercial construction project:
- Lower cost.
- Made in an environmentally-controlled location.
- Quick to install.
- Lighter and easier to work with because the interior is hollow.
- Durable and nearly maintenance-free.
- Created as one-piece which resists damage in Alberta’s harsh weather conditions.
- Backed up by a 1-year manufacture warranty and a 5-year structural warranty.
At Westcon, all our precast steps are pre-measured on-site, manufactured in our CSA Certified Facility, and professionally installed. Contact our Edmonton or Calgary location today!

Choose Your Precast Concrete Steps
Select your ideal prefab concrete steps and get a quote today. All of Westcon’s concrete steps are made to measure. We offer a choice of three-step options and three options for finishing. With the exception of the Bullnose Finish, the exposed kick is only available in Calgary. The step you choose can be finished in any of the three available finishing treatments.
- If your home design includes stone or brick veneer along the side of the step, you will need to order a recessed deck.
- If risers are not the same width as the landing, then a deck is recommended.
- Broom finish creates texture on the surface so they will be slip-resistant.
