Anti-Slip GRP Stair Treads - Black
Anti-slip GRP stair treads built to make a whole step slip-resistant, covering the tread surface including the nose and leading edge in one piece. Suited to concrete, steel, stone, and wood staircases, these treads won't rot or twist and are rated 3 out of 3 for both slip and wear resistance. Available in a range of lengths that can be cut to size on site, and secured using stainless steel fixings or a suitable adhesive.
How a full tread cover restores slip resistance where it's needed most
A staircase's original slip resistance wears away over time with foot traffic, and in persistently wet areas the surface can become dangerously slippery well before the rest of the step shows visible wear. A slip on a stair carries a higher risk of serious injury than a slip at ground level, and a worn or wet leading edge is often exactly where that risk is highest. This tread covers the whole step surface, including the nose and leading edge, in one continuous piece rated 3 out of 3 for slip resistance, restoring secure footing across the full width of the tread rather than just a narrow edge strip.
Key Features
-
Full tread coverage: Covers the entire step surface including the nose and leading edge, rather than just a narrow edge strip.
-
Anti Slip Rating 3: Tested to a 3 out of 3 slip resistance rating, the highest score on the scale used.
-
Wear Resistance Rating 3: Tested to a 3 out of 3 wear resistance rating under accelerated abrasion testing.
-
Suitable for concrete, steel, stone, and wood: Fits a wide range of existing staircase materials without needing to replace the underlying structure.
-
Won't rot or twist: Holds its shape and condition over time, unlike timber alternatives exposed to damp conditions.
-
Cut to length on site: Supplied in a range of lengths that can be trimmed to fit individual stair widths.

Who is this for
These treads suit facilities managers, site managers, and maintenance contractors responsible for staircases where slip resistance has worn away or where persistent wet conditions create an ongoing hazard. They are intended for retrofitting onto existing concrete, steel, stone, or wood stairs without replacing the underlying structure.
Typical applications
-
Refreshing slip resistance on staircases where the original surface has worn smooth over time.
-
Covering steps in persistently wet areas such as external fire escapes or exposed staircases.
-
Retrofitting anti-slip protection onto concrete, steel, stone, or wood stairs without structural replacement.
-
Providing full-width slip protection across the whole tread rather than just the leading edge.
-
Supporting health and safety compliance on staircases identified as a slip risk.
How to use
Step 1: Measure the width of the stair tread and select the closest available length, cutting to fit on site if required.
Step 2: Clean and prepare the existing step surface, removing any loose material or old coating.
Step 3: Position the tread across the full step surface, checking alignment with the nose and leading edge.
Step 4: Secure using stainless steel fixings or a suitable adhesive appropriate to the existing surface material.
Step 5: Check the tread is firmly seated and doesn't create a trip hazard before returning the staircase to use.
Common mistakes
-
Installing the tread over a poorly prepared or unstable existing surface, reducing fixing security.
-
Cutting the tread to a length that leaves gaps or overhangs at either edge of the step.
-
Using fixings or adhesive not suited to the existing surface material, such as concrete, steel, stone, or wood.
-
Leaving the tread loosely fixed, creating a trip hazard rather than a secure walking surface.
-
Assuming one length suits every stair width without checking and cutting to fit where needed.
Safety
These treads are rated 3 out of 3 for slip resistance, the highest score on the scale used, and are designed to restore secure footing across the whole step surface. Ensure treads are securely fixed using an appropriate method for the existing surface material before returning the staircase to use.
Maintenance
Clean periodically to remove dirt, debris, and any surface contamination that could affect grip. Check fixings and tread condition periodically, particularly on external staircases exposed to weather.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How slip resistant are these treads actually rated?
A: The treads are rated 3 out of 3 for slip resistance, the highest score on the scale used, based on testing that includes ASTM C1028-89 and DIN 51130/51097 alongside customer feedback. This makes them suited to staircases with a high risk of slipping, including persistently wet conditions.
Q: What surfaces can these treads be installed on?
A: These treads are suitable for installation on concrete, steel, stone, and wood staircases. They won't rot or twist over time, making them a durable option across a range of existing stair materials.
Q: What is this tread NOT suitable for?
A: These treads are designed for stair tread applications rather than general flooring, and a specific fixing method should be confirmed for the existing surface material before installation. Chemical resistance covers certain chemicals rather than every possible substance, so specific compliance requirements should be confirmed against the product datasheet.
Q: Why choose a full tread cover over a narrow stair nosing strip?
A: A stair nosing strip typically covers only the front edge of a step, leaving the rest of the tread surface untreated. This product covers the entire step surface, including the nose and leading edge, in one continuous piece, providing slip resistance across the full width of the tread rather than just the leading lip.
Q: Can these treads be cut to fit a specific stair width?
A: Yes, the treads can be cut to length on site to suit individual stair widths, and are supplied in a range of standard lengths from 600mm up to 3m to minimise cutting where possible.
Q: How are these treads actually fixed in place?
A: The treads can be secured using stainless steel fixings or a suitable adhesive, with the method chosen based on the existing surface material, whether concrete, steel, stone, or wood.
