Our modular MODULESCA® system uses interlocking modules to create the perfect set of garden steps. Once the structure is in place, the treads can be finished in timber, ceramic tiles or paving slabs. Whether your preference is for straight or curving steps, Modulesca® is the perfect solution for sloping gardens.

a question?

Our outdoor landscaping experts are here to answer your questions.

1. What are the standards for creating an external staircase ?

To build a functional and safe outdoor staircase on a raised terrace, for example, you must comply with a few rules:

  • Dimensions: maximum height 19 cm, minimum tread depth 24 cm and minimum width 90 cm.
  • Slope: the slope must be between 25 and 45° to allow for comfortable and safe ascent and descent.

2. What slope should an outdoor staircase have?

To build a straight or quarter-turn outdoor staircase using Modulesca®, the minimum slope of the ground must be 46% and up to 70%. Outside these two slope limits, it is impossible to install our Modulesca® staircase for your landscaping projects.

3. How wide should an external staircase be ?

Our Modulesca® concept is 93.4 cm wide.

4. What is the ideal step height for an outdoor staircase ?

The Modulesca® step measures 17 cm high x 93.4 cm wide and 42.4 cm deep.

The 20 cm module measures 17 cm high x 20 cm wide and 42.4 cm deep.

5. How do I calculate the number of steps for an external staircase?

To calculate the number of steps required to build an external staircase using Modulesca® modules, we recommend visiting www.jouplast.com and consulting the step configurator.

6. How to maintain your outdoor staircase?

Modular wooden or composite staircase:

Wooden staircases require regular cleaning with a soft brush and soapy water to remove debris and dirt.

A fungicide and insecticide treatment can be applied to prevent mould and insects.

 

Modular staircases covered with paving:

It is recommended that the covering be cleaned with a soft wire brush to remove moss stains.

A water-repellent product can be applied to protect against moisture.
