Quiet Tread^™

Pacific Stair Corporation proudly introduces Quiet Tread^™, a revolutionary new concept designed to address noise levels commonly associated with normal foot traffic on checker plate steel stairs and landings. After extensive proprietary testing we have discovered how to reduce the noise problem traditionally associated with checker plate stairs.

Pacific Stair Corporation, in private partnership with SOUNDCOAT, has developed a simple, viable, and cost effective solution to the objectionable noise levels found in standard checker plate steel stairs and landings.

Oregon State University, OSU, under the direction and oversight of Chris Higgins, PhD/PE, is currently validating our findings using state of the art and internationally recognized acoustic test procedures. In conformity with ISO 140 & 140.6, ASTM E492 & IEC 61672 Standards.

Acoustic testing at OSU will independently validate how Pacific Stair's new Quiet Tread^™ compares with traditional field poured concrete pan filled stair systems.

When you purchase a Pacific Stair Corporation checker plate stair system fitted with optional Quiet Tread^™ sound attenuation, you receive a cost effective alternative to a concrete filled stair while virtually eliminating the cost and clean up associated with pouring concrete in the stairs at the jobsite.
