Description

Stair treads are rarely a round number. This is the same aluminium flat plate insert as our 1m, 1.5m and 2m stock lengths, cut here to the exact millimetre you specify between 250mm and 2800mm, tolerance plus or minus 5mm.

What it is

A plain aluminium bar, bedded into a routed groove in a stair tread or landing so the top face sits flush with the surface. Unlike a grit insert it is not there primarily for slip resistance: a flat plate is specified where the requirement is visual demarcation, edge definition on a stone or terrazzo tread, or a hard-wearing line that will not stain or discolour. Set several in parallel and the ribbed effect does add useful grip underfoot.

Four bar sizes are stocked, from a slim 6.35mm square section to a substantial 12.7 x 6.35mm. The deeper sections take a deeper groove and are the choice where the insert has to survive trolley wheels or heavy cleaning equipment.

Why cut to size

Cutting bar stock square by hand is harder than it looks, and an out-of-square end shows badly when the insert is flush with a stone tread. Cutting in a workshop gives clean, deburred ends that butt neatly against the going.

Measuring and fixing

Measure each tread individually and take 3mm to 5mm off a wall-to-wall measurement so the bar drops in without scraping. Rout the groove slightly deeper than the bar so adhesive can key beneath it, and set the insert back at least 15mm from the front arris. Custom lengths are made to your figures, so they are non-returnable except for faults.
