Unique precast permanent stair balustrade systems
Eliminating Temporary Edge Protection Problems
Treadform® is Brooksby’s unique precast permanent stair balustrade system.
The stair core of a building is a hub of activity and an area where many trades converge bringing Health and Safety challenges such as temporary edge protection, lifting through voids, removal of protection, and onsite drilling.
Treadform® was developed and designed specifically to improve site safety whilst reducing cost and onside build time.
Removes Temporary Edge Protection Requirement
Traditionally a precast stair requires temporary edge protection or scaffold for Health & Safety purposes. With our unique Treadform system, a permanent balustrade is installed prior to precast stair installation, eliminating temporary edge protection.
Providing Immediate Edge Protection
Treadform offers huge Health & Safety benefits – the stair installer and trades can access the stairs as soon as the stairs are installed due to the permanent balustrade being in place, offering a safer working experience as well as a more efficient process.
Reduced Balustrade Installation Time
Time is of paramount importance on any build and Treadform offers an efficient solution.
Treadform is connected to the precast stair via a unique bracket which offers quick and simple connection. The elimination of post-fixing solutions ensures a fast installation on site.
Significant Cost Savings
With a huge reduction in site install time, and the improved Health and Safety experience; including the elimination of temporary edge protection, Treadform offers significant cost savings.
No On-Site Drilling Required & Rebar Clashes
In the past when an RSA is used, on-site drilling to fix the bolts can have the possibility of hitting reinforcements. The dangers of this are twofold. The contact area may be reduced due to the hole no longer being round due to re-drilling, or the bolt head may not sit squarely against the RSA, and reduce the clamping effect on the RSA.
Treadform’s unique cast in bracket ensures a simple, fast and efficient connection between stairs and balustrade. There is no requirement for drilling on-site and any potential rebar clashes are eliminated.
