Professional Installation Guide

Pre-Installation Preparation

Step 1: Surface Assessment
Inspect existing stair structure for soundness, levelness, and load-bearing capacity. Ensure substrate is clean, dry, and free from loose material, oil, or contaminants. Address any structural deficiencies before proceeding.

Step 2: Measurement & Planning
Verify tread dimensions against stair specifications. Account for nosing overhang and riser height. Plan fixing positions to avoid structural members and services. Mark fixing centres accurately using a template.

Step 3: Tool & Material Preparation
Assemble required tools: drill with masonry bits, screwdrivers, spirit level, measuring tape, and appropriate fixings for your substrate type. Ensure you have suitable adhesive if supplementing mechanical fixings.

Installation Procedure

Step 4: Positioning
Place tread in position ensuring nosing overhang is consistent and tread is square to riser. Use spirit level to verify horizontal alignment. Mark fixing hole positions through pre-drilled holes.

Step 5: Drilling
Remove tread and drill fixing holes to appropriate depth for your chosen fixings. For concrete substrates, use masonry bits and ensure holes are clean and dust-free. Insert wall plugs if required.

Step 6: Fixing
Apply adhesive to tread underside if using supplementary bonding. Position tread carefully and insert fixings through pre-drilled holes. Tighten fixings progressively to ensure even pressure distribution and prevent distortion.

Step 7: Verification
Check tread is secure with no movement under load. Verify nosing alignment and overhang consistency. Inspect for any gaps between tread and substrate that might collect debris.

Safety Considerations

Always work from bottom to top when installing multiple treads. Ensure adequate lighting and ventilation. Use appropriate PPE including safety glasses and dust masks when drilling. Cordon off work areas to prevent public access during installation.

Maintenance & Care Instructions

Routine Cleaning

Clean treads regularly using neutral pH detergent and water. The non-porous GRP surface resists dirt accumulation but benefits from periodic cleaning to maintain optimal slip resistance. Use soft-bristle brushes for textured areas—avoid wire brushes that might damage the surface.

Deep Cleaning Protocol

For heavily soiled treads, use a pressure washer at moderate settings (maximum 1500 PSI) with appropriate cleaning solution. Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue. The chemical-resistant surface tolerates most commercial cleaning products, but always test in an inconspicuous area first.

Inspection Schedule

Conduct quarterly visual inspections checking for damage, loose fixings, or wear patterns. Pay particular attention to high-traffic areas and nosing edges. Document inspection findings and address any issues promptly to maintain safety standards.

Long-Term Care

The GRP construction requires no painting, sealing, or refinishing. However, check fixing integrity annually and re-tighten if necessary. Replace any damaged treads immediately—do not attempt repairs that might compromise safety performance.

Winter Maintenance

In freezing conditions, remove ice and snow promptly. The anti-slip surface maintains grip in cold weather, but accumulated ice should be cleared. Avoid metal shovels that might scratch the surface—use plastic snow shovels or brushes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes these treads 'extra deep' and why does it matter?
Our extra deep treads provide extended front-to-back dimension compared to standard treads, offering greater foot placement area. This reduces trip hazards, improves user confidence, and is particularly beneficial for elderly users, those carrying equipment, or in high-traffic environments where rushed movement is common. The extra depth also provides more surface area for the anti-slip texture to work effectively.

How does the Colourdec finish differ from standard anti-slip surfaces?
Colourdec is a premium decorative finish that combines aesthetic appeal with professional slip resistance. Unlike basic grit surfaces or industrial finishes, Colourdec offers attractive colour and pattern options whilst maintaining exceptional grip. It's ideal for environments where safety solutions must complement architectural design—such as corporate offices, hotels, or modern educational facilities.

Are these treads suitable for outdoor installation in UK weather?
Absolutely. The GRP construction and anti-slip surface are engineered for all-weather performance across British climates. They maintain grip in rain, snow, ice, and frost, and the material won't corrode, rust, or degrade from UV exposure. They're equally effective in exposed Scottish highlands or coastal Welsh environments.

What fixing method is recommended for concrete stairs?
For concrete substrates, we recommend mechanical fixings (stainless steel screws with appropriate plugs) supplemented with polyurethane adhesive for optimal security. The combination provides immediate mechanical strength plus long-term bonding. Always ensure fixings penetrate at least 40mm into sound concrete for adequate pull-out resistance.

How do these treads perform in chemical or laboratory environments?
Exceptionally well. GRP is inherently resistant to most acids, alkalis, solvents, and cleaning chemicals. The non-porous surface won't absorb spills or harbour bacteria, making these treads ideal for laboratories, pharmaceutical facilities, and industrial environments where chemical exposure is routine. Always consult our technical team for specific chemical compatibility questions.

What is the expected lifespan in a high-traffic commercial setting?
In typical high-traffic commercial applications, expect 15-20+ years of service life with minimal maintenance. The slip-resistant surface is integral to the tread construction—not a coating—so it won't wear away. GRP's exceptional durability means the treads will likely outlast many other building components, providing excellent total cost of ownership.

Do these treads comply with UK building regulations and fire safety standards?
Yes. Our treads are manufactured to meet UK building regulations for slip resistance and are certified to BS 476 for fire safety performance. They're suitable for commercial, public, and industrial buildings across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Full certification documentation is available for regulatory submissions and compliance audits.
