0-3" Thick Grout Needed

0-3" Thick Grout Needed

0-3" Thick Grout Needed

(OP)
Contractor poured an exterior slab too low resulting in the exterior metal stairs hanging about 3" above t/slab.  I need to provide a 'ramp' up to the bottom of the stairs for accessibility and anchorage.  The material needs to go from feathered edge to approximately 3" over an area around 12 SF.  Anybody know of a worthy product?

 

RE: 0-3" Thick Grout Needed

I'd call Euclid, Sika, Five Star, BASF or Atlas.  And I would recess the grout into the existing slab and avoid the feathered edge.

RE: 0-3" Thick Grout Needed

Agree with JC...feathering doesn't work...even though the manufacturers tell you it's ok to do it.

Make sure the landing is level when you finish...code requirement.
