Professional-Grade Benefits for UK Facilities

1. Maximum Slip Resistance in All Conditions

Our extra deep stair treads feature an aggressive anti-slip surface profile that maintains exceptional grip even when contaminated with water, oil, grease, or debris. The extended depth provides superior foot contact area, dramatically reducing slip risk during ascent and descent. Independent testing confirms R13 slip resistance rating—the highest classification for pedestrian surfaces.

2. Heavy-Duty GRP Construction for Decades of Service

Glass Reinforced Plastic construction delivers unparalleled durability without the weight penalties of metal alternatives. Our GRP formulation resists corrosion, chemical attack, UV degradation, and impact damage, ensuring your investment delivers reliable protection for 20+ years. Unlike rubber or aluminium treads that deteriorate rapidly, GRP maintains structural integrity and slip resistance throughout its service life.

3. Premium Colourdec Finish for Professional Aesthetics

The exclusive Colourdec finishing system integrates colour throughout the material depth, not just surface coating. This means your treads maintain their professional appearance even after years of heavy foot traffic—no fading, no peeling, no unsightly wear patterns. Available in high-visibility yellow, safety black, and custom colours to match your facility branding.

4. Extra Deep Coverage for Enhanced Safety

Standard stair nosing provides minimal coverage; our extra deep design extends protection across the entire tread depth, accommodating varied foot sizes and walking patterns. This extended coverage is particularly critical in facilities serving elderly users, those with mobility challenges, or environments where users carry loads that affect balance and foot placement.

5. Rapid Installation with Minimal Disruption

Pre-drilled fixing holes and comprehensive installation hardware enable professional fitting in minutes per tread. Our installation system works with concrete, wood, metal, and composite substrates without specialist tools or hot works permits. Most facilities complete full staircase installations during a single shift, minimising operational disruption and lost productivity.

6. Compliance with UK Safety Regulations

Engineered to meet and exceed Building Regulations Approved Document K, Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, and HSE guidance on slip resistance. Our treads provide documented evidence of due diligence for regulatory inspections, insurance audits, and corporate safety reviews—protecting your organisation from liability whilst demonstrating commitment to employee welfare.

7. Low Maintenance Requirements

Unlike metal treads that require regular painting or rubber solutions that demand frequent replacement, our GRP treads maintain performance with simple periodic cleaning. The non-porous surface resists dirt accumulation and bacterial growth, making them ideal for healthcare, food processing, and pharmaceutical environments where hygiene is paramount.

8. Cost-Effective Lifecycle Value

Whilst initial investment exceeds basic alternatives, total cost of ownership over 20 years is significantly lower. Eliminate replacement costs, reduce maintenance labour, decrease slip-related incidents and associated costs, and benefit from potential insurance premium reductions. Our treads deliver professional-grade protection at a fraction of the lifecycle cost of inferior solutions.

9. Weather-Resistant Performance Across UK Climates

Formulated specifically for UK environmental conditions, our treads perform consistently from -20°C to +60°C. The GRP material neither expands nor contracts significantly with temperature fluctuations, maintaining secure fixing and slip resistance through freeze-thaw cycles, summer heat, and the persistent damp conditions common across British facilities.

10. Environmentally Responsible Manufacturing

Our GRP treads are manufactured in the UK using sustainable processes with minimal environmental impact. The long service life reduces replacement frequency and associated waste, whilst the material itself is recyclable at end of life. Choose a safety solution that protects both your people and the environment.

Professional Installation Guide

Pre-Installation Preparation

1. Surface Assessment: Inspect stair substrate for structural integrity, ensuring concrete is sound, wood is not rotted, and metal is corrosion-free. Repair any defects before proceeding.

2. Cleaning: Remove all dirt, grease, oil, and loose material from stair surfaces using appropriate cleaning agents. Allow surfaces to dry completely—moisture beneath treads can compromise adhesion and fixing integrity.

3. Measurement: Verify stair dimensions and tread quantities. Our extra deep treads accommodate standard UK stair geometries, but always confirm measurements before commencing installation.

Installation Process

4. Positioning: Place first tread at the nose of the top stair, ensuring even overhang and alignment with stair edges. Use a spirit level to confirm horizontal placement.

5. Marking: Mark fixing hole positions through the pre-drilled holes in the tread. Remove tread and drill pilot holes to appropriate depth for your substrate type.

6. Fixing: Apply recommended adhesive to tread underside (optional but recommended for maximum security). Position tread and insert fixings through pre-drilled holes, tightening progressively to ensure even pressure distribution.

7. Verification: Check each installed tread for secure fixing, correct alignment, and absence of movement. Repeat process for remaining stairs, working from top to bottom.

8. Curing: If adhesive is used, allow appropriate curing time before permitting foot traffic (typically 24 hours). Mechanical fixings alone permit immediate use.

Professional Installation Tips

• Use stainless steel fixings in outdoor or corrosive environments to prevent rust staining
• Maintain consistent overhang across all treads for professional appearance and optimal safety
• In high-traffic facilities, consider installing during off-peak hours to minimise disruption
• Retain installation documentation for regulatory compliance and insurance purposes

Maintenance and Care Instructions

Routine Cleaning

Clean treads periodically using mild detergent and water, applied with a soft brush or mop. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. For facilities with intensive use, weekly cleaning maintains optimal appearance and slip resistance. The non-porous GRP surface resists dirt accumulation, making cleaning quick and effective.

Deep Cleaning

For treads exposed to oils, greases, or stubborn contamination, use appropriate degreasing agents following manufacturer guidelines. Avoid abrasive cleaners or metal brushes that could damage the anti-slip surface profile. Pressure washing (maximum 100 bar) is acceptable for outdoor installations.

Inspection Schedule

Conduct quarterly visual inspections to verify fixing integrity, check for damage, and assess slip resistance performance. Document inspections for regulatory compliance. Any damaged treads should be replaced promptly to maintain safety standards.

Long-Term Care

Our GRP treads require no painting, coating, or surface treatments. The integral Colourdec colour and anti-slip profile are permanent features that maintain performance throughout the product's 20+ year service life. This eliminates ongoing maintenance costs and labour requirements associated with alternative solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes these treads suitable for outdoor use in UK weather?

A: Our GRP formulation is specifically engineered for UK environmental conditions. The material resists UV degradation, freeze-thaw cycling, and moisture absorption. The anti-slip surface maintains grip even when wet, icy, or contaminated with leaves and debris. Thousands of installations across Scotland, Wales, England, and Northern Ireland demonstrate consistent performance in the most challenging British weather conditions.

Q: How do extra deep treads differ from standard stair nosing?

A: Standard nosing typically covers only the leading edge of the stair (25-50mm depth). Our extra deep treads extend coverage across the entire tread depth, providing maximum foot contact area and superior slip protection. This extended coverage is particularly beneficial for users with mobility challenges, those carrying loads, or in environments where varied foot placement patterns occur.

Q: Can these treads be installed on existing stairs without major renovation?

A: Absolutely. Our treads are designed for retrofit installation on existing concrete, wood, metal, and composite stairs. The installation process requires only basic tools and can be completed without hot works, specialist equipment, or structural modifications. Most facilities complete installations during normal operational hours with minimal disruption.

Q: What fixing methods are recommended for different substrate types?

A: For concrete stairs, use expansion anchors or chemical anchors with stainless steel screws. Wood substrates require appropriate wood screws with pilot holes. Metal stairs benefit from self-tapping screws or through-bolts. We recommend combining mechanical fixings with industrial-grade adhesive for maximum security in all applications. Detailed fixing specifications are provided with each order.
