Heavy Duty Anti Slip GRP Stair Treads For Frosty And Oily Conditions

Heavy Duty Anti Slip GRP Stair Treads 

Non-slip Stair Tread Covers have outstanding slip resistance and are a quick and cost effective solution to improving stair safety. Helping you achieve DDA compliance and made from tough, hard wearing, durable GRP, they will last for years.

Anti Slip - gritted surface tested in accordance with BS7976-2. It provides an exceptional level of slip resistance in all directions. Lifespan guaranteed for 10 years subject to standard use applications.
Fire Resistant - meets Class A2-s1 in accordance with EN ISO 9239-1.
Lightweight - only 1/3 the weight of steel, GRP is a convenient, fast, and safe installation material, reducing the risk of manual handling injuries, and easily cut on-site without the need for hot works permits.
Non-Conductive - GRP acts as an insulator making it ideal for application in and around HV plant and equipment. It can also be supplied with a carbon finish to provide static discharge characteristics needed in electro-static sensitive environments.
Made in GB - Manufactured entirely at our premises in the UK in accordance with our ISO 9001 accredited Quality Management System - the structural integrity of the material is high grade.
Anti-Slip Step Covers improve safety
Our 5mm thickness Stair Tread Covers are now even stronger, ideal for stairs with high footfall areas and worn steps. Manufactured with anti slip grit embedded into the surface during the production of the GRP substrate, ensuring superior performance compared to some retrospectively applied gritted surfaces.

Standard Duty for wet, frosty and oily conditions, suitable for most applications and will give many years of service under normal conditions. Normal pedestrian traffic and industrial applications. Platforms, staircases, steps, fire escapes, emergency exits, public access stairways.
Heavy Duty for wet, frosty and oily conditions and suitable for areas with high footfall. Busy pedestrian traffic and industrial applications. Train stations, stadiums, car parks, busy public walkways and stairways.
Fine Grit for wet and oily conditions, and suitable for normal pedestrian traffic. For more sensitive areas such as play areas, schools, in domestic and commercial environments – generally for interior use but can be used outside if deemed suitable.

Our 10 Year Manufacturers Guarantee: should any manufacturing defects occur within 10 years of purchase, we will replace free of charge.

Fine Grit - ToughGrip - fine grit

• For wet and oily conditions.
• Normal pedestrian traffic.
• Less industrial applications, easier to clean with a less aggressive surface. 
• For more sensitive areas such as play areas, schools, in domestic and commercial environments – generally for interior use but can be used outside if deemed suitable.

SUITABLE ENVIRONMENTS

Domestic, commercial and industrial environments - interior and exterior.

FIXING METHODS

Mechanically fixed or bonded with an adhesive (for extra security use both options).

SERVICE TEMPERATURE

-50°c to +80°c.

LIFE EXPECTANCY

Design life of 10+ years, subject to traffic analysis.

The life expectancy of any flooring product will be dictated by the nature and volume of the traffic it receives.

Factors such as shoe type and material, weight of individual, non pedestrian traffic, and any contamination such as dirt or grit are all factors that will influence the natural wear and tear of the stair tread.

10 YEAR GUARANTEE

Anti-slip Stair Tread Covers come with a 10 Year Manufacturers Guarantee. Should any manufacturing defects occur within 10 years of purchase, we will replace free of charge.

Installation:

Handling
Safe handling practices should always be employed. Store the covers flat upside down.

Fixing Anti-Slip Stair Treads
We recommend a double fixing method for installing stair tread covers consisting of a high strength bonding adhesive and mechanical fixing to each end.

Having carried out adhesion tests using various adhesives we would recommend the use of Adhesive for bonding our Stair Covers. Adhesive is suitable for bonding to concrete, wood, metal and steel.

The reputation for Sika for quality and reliability is virtually unmatched, illustrated through a comprehensive portfolio of problem solving products that have been employed for many years in wide diversity of applications.

Adhesive adhesive is also a sealant and will seal around the edge to stop water lying between the stair cover and the substrate (water will not harm the stair cover but can affect wood or metal substrates causing rot or rust).

Furthermore, use of Adhesive will also help eliminate the drumming noise, when walked upon, that can be created when fitting onto an existing substrate.

Adhesive Quantity
As an approximate guide, with a 6mm bead 1 x 300 ml tube of Adhesive should be sufficient to bond 3.5 linear metres of Anti-Slip Stair Cover.
