Professional Installation Guide

Step 1 – Surface Preparation: Thoroughly clean the stair nosing area, removing all dirt, grease, paint, and loose material. For concrete stairs, ensure the surface is sound and free from spalling. Metal stairs should be degreased and any rust removed. The substrate must be dry before installation begins.

Step 2 – Measurement and Cutting: Measure the exact width of each stair tread, accounting for any irregularities. Mark cutting lines on the GRP tread using a permanent marker. Cut to size using a fine-toothed saw or angle grinder with cutting disc, wearing appropriate PPE including eye protection and dust mask.

Step 3 – Positioning and Marking: Position the anti-slip tread on the stair nosing, ensuring the high-visibility insert aligns with the step edge. The extra deep profile should overhang the riser by approximately 25-40mm. Mark fixing hole positions through the pre-drilled holes using a marker or centre punch.

Step 4 – Drilling Pilot Holes: Remove the tread and drill pilot holes at marked positions. For concrete, use a 6mm masonry bit and insert wall plugs. For metal stairs, use a 4mm HSS bit. For timber, use a 3mm wood bit. Ensure drill depth accommodates the full screw length plus plug depth.

Step 5 – Adhesive Application (Optional): For maximum security in high-traffic areas, apply a continuous bead of polyurethane construction adhesive to the underside of the tread before fixing. This supplements mechanical fixings and eliminates any movement or vibration.

Step 6 – Secure Fixing: Reposition the anti-slip tread and insert stainless steel screws through the pre-drilled holes into the prepared pilot holes. Tighten progressively from the centre outwards to ensure even pressure distribution. Do not overtighten, as this may crack the GRP material.

Step 7 – Final Inspection: Check that the tread is securely fixed with no movement when pressure is applied. Verify that the high-visibility nosing is correctly positioned and clearly visible. Remove any installation debris and clean the surface with a damp cloth.

Step 8 – Curing Time: If adhesive has been used, allow 24 hours curing time before permitting foot traffic. Mechanical fixings alone can typically accept light traffic immediately, but consult adhesive manufacturer guidelines for specific recommendations.

Maintenance and Care Instructions

Regular Cleaning: Clean anti-slip stair treads weekly using a stiff brush and standard detergent solution. For industrial environments, increase frequency to match contamination levels. The non-porous GRP surface releases dirt easily, maintaining slip resistance and appearance.

Deep Cleaning: Quarterly deep cleaning with a pressure washer (maximum 100 bar) removes ingrained contamination from the extra deep profile. Ensure water drains away from the stair structure to prevent pooling and potential freeze damage in winter months across the UK.

Inspection Schedule: Conduct monthly visual inspections checking for loose fixings, damage to the high-visibility nosing, or accumulation of debris in the anti-slip profile. Tighten any loose screws immediately and replace damaged sections to maintain safety standards.

Winter Maintenance: In Scotland, Northern England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, remove snow and ice buildup promptly. The anti-slip profile provides excellent grip even when wet, but ice accumulation should be cleared using plastic scrapers to avoid damaging the GRP surface.

Chemical Exposure: Whilst our GRP treads resist most industrial chemicals, prolonged exposure to strong acids or alkalis should be avoided. Rinse spills promptly with water and neutralize if necessary. Consult our technical team for specific chemical compatibility questions.

Fixing Maintenance: Inspect stainless steel fixings annually for any signs of loosening or corrosion. In coastal UK locations or areas with high salt exposure, increase inspection frequency to six-monthly. Replace any corroded fixings with marine-grade stainless steel alternatives.
