I got three sets of concrete stairs that I've repaired which needs finishing up. Would love some input on designs and how to proceed since I've never done stairs before. Hoping on someone in /diy/ has made a staircase or two before.

What are you looking to do?
These look pretty dope already IMO, though you might want a handrail.
Carpeting onto concrete steps is pretty easy, there are adhesives and hardware made for it. People argue over which is more safe (carpeted or bare surface), but it's really personal preference.

>What are you looking to do?
That's just it, I'm not sure.
>These look pretty dope already IMO, though you might want a handrail.
Yeah, I'll definitely need handrails, but the staircase is pretty slim, so would need to be some smaller version.This is a fat shaming staircase.

I'm trying to make sure that things I build last, so I'm mostly building in concrete or metals. Can't use any wood or material that don't do well against damp environments.
>also, pay no mind to the now concealed escape hatch on the right
>>985390
Couple of things you can do here bunkerbro is look into concrete stains...lots of nice colours and stuff...
Other one is also concrete staining, but then a rubber pattern block thing is used to add some visual elements...
In any event...your doing Gods work...living the dream...keep it up, looks really impressive!
>>985409
ignore the floating steps in this one and the design is pretty much applicable to your setup.
this might be the kind of slimline handrail you're looking for, and while that glass halfwall is pretty ostentatious, it meets your criteria for damp-safe materials.
for a cheaper solution use long, narrower strips of material (acrylic, polycarbonate even) going vertically with aluminum or steel framing elements rather than one big sheet. can't find a good image of that style right now but I have seen it in upscale lofts
looks good the way it is. You can always grind it down to expose the aggregate if you have a lot of time on your hands.
>>985446
Adding some colors might be nice, currently there is way too much white on this side of the complex.
>>985451
Those handrails would fit perfectly, looks to be stainless. I do have a lot of pmma sheets leftover, but they are rather small sheets, would need a large cross grid for framing. Will have to think about it.
>>985390
We must keep in mind that Bunkeranon is doing everything himself.
That means that super-fancy woodwork is out, and huge panes of glass may also be out.
>>985451 talks about using narrower materials... I would use narrow, long strips of wood. I've seen architects do their houses with long, stained vertical pieces of wood going up across the whole storey. I'd then stain them dark and seal them. Then I'd put a rail on that.
I'll think of more ideas and find pics.
Not exactly what I was thinking, but might give some measure of inspiration.

sorry, OP mentioned no wood because of moisture so I didn't suggest that. But of course if you can use it, use it. I don't know enough about his biome to say if stain&seal will be enough long term.
Take out stairs and replace with a slide.
Anti-slip tape and forget the handrail?
>>985464
good goys, its artistic, its modern, its EFFICIENT.
>>985465
Shit, no wood...
Eh, be creative with your materials. Or get some metal bannister.
Just to show you what happens to a wooden staircase after the army shutdown the facility. 12 years between the decommission and me buying it. I'm making sure that whoever uses it after me doesn't have to go thru what I did.
This tunnel was infested floor to ceiling in white fungus (like walking into a huge freezer) due to a wooden staircase and wooden walking platform. I can only guess someone took the easy way out with that spent casing.

Did someone kill the state puff marshmallow man in your bunker?
>>985755
>>985750
bunkeranon do you wear mask everyday working in there? I am worried about your health man
>>985755
he had to go >:)
>>985761
Actually bought a few left over from the US government on auction, they had all this gear for operation iraqi freedom as they never found any chemical weapons. $300 for full face gas mask, respirator, filters, batteries, suit, coms, etc, shelf life to 2025. Bought 20.
Used a suit for the cleanup after I nuked the whole bunker for a week with ozone generators. Mold, fungus, spiders, anything requiring oxygen to live gassed to death.
>>985765
>ozone generators
lol good one, but how do you know your concentration is effective enough? mold is hard to kill as far as i know
>>985768
It all just dried and flaked after the ozone did its job, could pretty much vacuum it up. Had some UV lamps to make sure no spores survived. Power washed it afterwards, been good ever since.
>>985770
fyi ozone wont penetrate media and it wont kill endospores. it's been tried in commercial mushroom cultivation. so all you did really was kill the surface layer and defeat the ideal living conditions for the mold.
where does the tunnel go?
do you have a map of the place? how big is it? on the one hand I think of it as a small bunker but then you show us new weird compartments all the time. it could just be the old pantry or something but maybe it leads to the regenwurmlager idk.
ps i am not a russian spy.
>>985390
show off that bunker anon, dont be so secret, its not like we are asking where it is
I am extremely impressed, great work man
>>985890
>dont be so secret
It's a bunker not a nightclub. We'd all like to see more of it but I understand his discretion.
>>985451
I've ordered the railings, $1600. Apparently railing business is where its at. Should arrive at the end of next week.
>>985941
>$1600
Is it a powered hand rail? What's the 1500 after materials go to?
>>985456
Are you sure that's not terrazzo? Aggregate would be visible on the surface fairly well if it contains a heavy ballast mix but I've found a lot of precast stairs are high lime concrete low aggregate, allowing it to pour easier.
As for OP I'd grind it down to a clear smooth finish then pour epoxy. For the cheeks plate them with brushed stainless.
>>985943
25 meter of railing, ~$800
railing supports ~$600

>TIL I learned the Swedish word for "tax"
Every day's a school day.
>>985971
The fuck is this Reddit shit? Get the fuck out of here faggot. We don't 'til' here.
>>985951
That does look like terrazzo, I've seen it being installed/made.
>>985390
where do these stairs go?
If that is an exit up there, primary or secondary, I would stain/paint a stripe to one side, red (or green? that is used for emergency euro stuff?) and stenciled words/glyphs to that effect.
Other then that, just polishing/sealing and applying grip tape would be all the style I would need. Handrail on the wall side, some strips of metal on the other to make it feel a little more secure.
>>985971
Not really, "moms" is VAT, tax is calles "skat"
Got a notice from DHL, hopefully I'll be able to mount it tomorrow. Will get back with pics when it's done.
>>985750
Scary as fuck, dude.
>>987313
Trippy.
>>985951
I highly doubt those are precast
>>987313
take a video
