Building materials described herein include a structure having a substrate and a coating formed on the substrate. In one embodiment, the coating may include a mixture or rubber in urethane. For example, in one embodiment, mixture may include approximately 8% to approximately 12% by weight of urethane, approximately 2% to approximately 5% by weight of water, and approximately 81% to approximately 90% by weight of rubber. In some embodiments, the mixture may include a colorant, a fire retardant, and/or an ultraviolet (UV) inhibitor.

A stair assembly includes at least one joist comprising an upper wall, a first lateral wall extending from the upper wall, and a second lateral wall extending from the upper wall. At least one stair step support bracket includes a tray support wall, a first side wall extending from the tray support wall, and a second side wall extending from the tray support wall. The first and second side walls define a pair of first front aligned positioning holes configured to receive a first set pin and a pair of first rear aligned positioning holes configured to receive a second set pin. The pairs of first front and rear aligned positioning holes disposed such that when the first and second set pins received therethrough contact the upper wall of the at least one joist, the tray support wall is positioned at a first rise dimension.

A modular platform system utilizing a number of components including a platform. The platform is configured so that each of the components may interchangeably connect to any side of the platform. The components include, for example, handrails and stairways, as well as other platforms. The platform and most of the components are formed from single, continuous pieces of metal.

A method for building modular stair system comprises assembling a plurality of modular stair units, each of the plurality of modular stair units associated with a single story of a construction, each of the plurality of modular stair units further comprising a self-supporting structure supported by a plurality of corner columns. A first modular stair unit is located on a foundation of a structure. The first modular stair unit is secured to the foundation of the structure. A second modular stair unit is stacked on top of the first modular stair unit, wherein a first plurality of corner support columns engage of the first modular stair unit engage a second plurality of corner support columns of the second modular stair unit. The second modular stair unit is leveled using a connection sleeve that slides within the first plurality of corner support columns and the second plurality of corner support columns. The second modular stair unit is connected to the first modular stair unit to maintain the leveled second modular stair unit using the connection sleeve.

A splicing step device includes a first step body and a second step body. A height of the first step body is different from a height of the second step body, and the first step body is configured by splicing. The splicing step device is detachable, which reduces a space occupied by the splicing step device during storage and transportation, and reduces storage costs as well as transportation costs.

A modular stair system comprises a plurality of modular stair units. Each of the plurality of modular stair units are associated with a single story of a construction. An upper, rectangular landing comprises a pair of long members connected at each end to a pair of short members. A mid-level, rectangular landing comprises a first pair of members and a second pair of members interconnected at their ends. A first and second plurality of corner brackets interconnects an end of the members with an end of the members of the upper and mid-level landings. The first and second plurality of corner brackets have the variable size depending on the number of the plurality of modular stair units to be stacked in the stairwell. A plurality of corner support columns support the upper, rectangular landing at a top portion thereof and the mid-level, rectangular landing at a mid-portion thereof and removably connected to the upper, rectangular landing and the mid-level, rectangular landing. The plurality of corner support columns have a second variable size depending on the number of the plurality of modular stair units to be stacked in the stairwell. A first stair runner removably connects to the mid-level landing and connects a bottom level to the mid-level landing. A second stair runner removably connects to the mid-level, rectangular landing and the upper, rectangular landing to connect the mid-level, rectangular landing to the upper, rectangular landing. Each of the plurality of modular stair units are organized such that a bottom modular stair unit is placed on a foundation and each successive modular stair unit of the plurality of modular stair units are stacked on top of and connected to a lower modular stair unit.
