Precast Concrete Stairs for Residential & Commercial Projects
Durlach Industries was founded in Germany in 1978 and expanded to the U.S. in 1996 to supply high-quality precast concrete stairs for residential and commercial applications. Our objective has always been to provide durable, customizable solutions that outperform steel or cast-in-place concrete alternatives. We serve General Contractors, Precast Concrete Manufacturers, Architects, and Structural Engineers nationwide. Our proprietary hydraulic stair-forming system allows adjustable riser/tread ratios and monolithic casting of treads and landings in one step. This innovation offers architects and engineers greater design flexibility while delivering faster, cleaner, and more cost-efficient results.Our stairs are crane-installed for immediate site access, saving builders time and money. Klaus Durlach, a certified General Contractor with decades of masonry and concrete expertise, has led the company since 1998. Our 2019 state-of-the-art Palmetto, Florida facility doubles our production capacity and includes an on-site concrete mixer. We pride ourselves on combining German engineering precision with American construction adaptability to meet diverse project needs.

Services
Precast Concrete Stairs
Our precast concrete stairs combine durability with design flexibility. Using adjustable hydraulic molds, we create custom stair systems with any riser/tread dimensions. Monolithic casting integrates treads and landings for structural integrity while reducing on-site construction time by up to 40%. Builders benefit from immediate crane installation and cost savings.
Adjustable Stair Molds
Our proprietary hydraulic stair-forming machines allow infinite dimensional adjustments. This technology enables production of stairs in any configuration while maintaining strict tolerances. The system accommodates special finishes and embedded features, meeting both functional requirements and aesthetic specifications for modern architectural designs.
Monolithic Casting
Our patented casting process forms treads and landings as single units, eliminating cold joints and weak points. This method enhances structural performance while streamlining installation. Engineers appreciate the improved load distribution and architects value the design freedom afforded by seamless concrete elements.
Nationwide Shipping
We deliver precast components to construction sites across the continental United States. Our logistics team coordinates specialized transport for oversized concrete elements. Standardized packaging protects finished products during transit while maintaining delivery schedules for time-sensitive construction projects.
Crane Installation
Our precast stairs feature integrated lifting points for crane installation. This method enables immediate access to upper levels during construction phases. Builders reduce labor costs and safety risks associated with temporary stair systems while accelerating overall project timelines.

Questions
What makes Durlach's precast stairs different from traditional methods?
Our hydraulic forming system creates monolithic treads and landings in one pour, eliminating cold joints while offering unlimited dimensional customization for superior structural integrity.
Can you accommodate special design requirements?
Yes, our adjustable molds handle any riser/tread combination and accept embedded features like handrail brackets or safety grooves while maintaining tight tolerances.
Do you ship outside Florida?
We deliver nationwide using specialized transport equipment. Our logistics team coordinates deliveries to construction sites across the continental United States.
How does your system save construction time?
Crane-installable precast units eliminate formwork and curing delays. Monolithic construction reduces on-site assembly time by up to 40% compared to traditional methods.
What support do you provide during installation?
We include detailed placement instructions with each shipment. Our team is available for technical consultation during installation to ensure proper positioning and alignment.
