Instructions for constructing plastic stairs on iron frame

Construction of plastic stairs on an iron frame requires the frame to meet important parameters such as:

  • Width of frame where step is installed ≤28cm.
  • Width of the step neck installation location ≤20cm.
  • Vertical bars spaced apart ≤27cm.
  • Horizontal bars spaced apart ≤8cm.
  • Stair tread edge size ≥3cm.
  • Dimensions of the edge of the cylindrical bar ≥10cm.
  • Bone thickness 0.14cm.

A five-year study of 5 construction projects using plastic stairs on iron frames showed that the distance between support bars needs to be strictly controlled to distribute the load evenly. – Vietnam Association of Building Materials.

After having the standard iron frame, we proceed to install it according to the 7 steps below:

Step 1: Prepare tools and materials.

Step 2: Adjust the product size according to the skeleton.

Step 3: Attach the strip to the step surface.

Step 4: Install the stair treads.

Step 5: Install the stair treads.

Step 6: Install plastic stairs on the landing.

Step 7: Apply glue to the stair border.

Step 1: Prepare the iron frame and construction materials

Materials for constructing plastic stairs on an iron frame include:

Technical specifications of iron frame used to construct plastic stairs

  1. Dimensions of side x side of stair tread:
    • Square bar:  ≥3cmx3cm.
    • Rectangular bar:  ≥3cmx6cm.
  2. Dimensions of side x side of the cylinder: ≥10cmx10cm.
  3. Bar thickness: 0.14cm.
  4. Standard dimensions when installing the skeleton:
    • Width of the frame where the step is installed ≤28cm (suitable for Galawood stair tread width of 30cm).
    • Width of the frame where the step collar is installed ≤20cm (suitable for Galawood stair step height of 20cm).
    • Distance between longitudinal bars used to support the step surface ≤27cm.
    • Distance between horizontal bars used to support the step surface ≤8cm.

Step 2: Measure and cut the step neck and plastic stair tread

Use a tape measure and cutter to adjust the product size to fit.

Step 3: Cut and join plastic stair treads with glue

There are 2 ways to cut and join plastic stair treads with glue, including:

  • How to join the splint 1: Chamfer 45 degree angle on step and strip for joining.
  • How to join the splint 2: Make a cap on the end of the strip before attaching it to the step surface.

Step 4: Glue the frame and then cover the plastic stair treads

We cover the cut of the stair step. Then, spread the glue evenly on the iron frame before covering the stair step on top.

Step 5: Glue the frame and then cover the plastic stair treads

Spread the glue evenly on the iron frame before installing the stair treads on top. Use a rubber hammer to tap lightly so that the panel adheres firmly to the frame.

According to information Kosmos surveyed with more than 100 construction workers, 1 bottle of Kosmos bond 300ml can be used for 1m², equivalent to 2 stairs.

Step 6: Install plastic stairs at the landing location

There are two common shapes of stair landings: square and rectangular. After installing the treads, the missing areas can be filled with riser panels.

Step 7: Apply glue to the edge of the stairs and you're done.

The edge of the stairs needs to be coated with glue to limit dirt from entering the gaps and increase the bonding strength of the plastic stairs.

Applying glue on the edge completes the construction of plastic stairs on the finished iron frame.
