Description
A tread cover is what you fit when the step itself has failed. At 157mm the plate is wide enough to span a worn, chipped or spalled concrete going and give you a new, flat, gripped surface without breaking out and recasting the stair. Two carborundum grit bands run the length of the plate, so the foot lands on grit wherever it falls rather than on bare metal.
Where a tread cover beats a nosing
A nosing protects the front edge. A tread cover replaces the walking surface. On refurbishment work in schools, factories, car parks and transport buildings, that is often the difference between a stair that can stay in service and one that needs closing for concrete repair. It is also the answer where the going has been ground down over the years and no longer offers a level footing.
Why carborundum
Aluminium oxide grit in a resin matrix is the hardest of the common anti-slip infills. It does not burnish smooth under traffic the way a ribbed PVC insert does, and it cannot peel like a bonded tape. On the sort of heavily used stair that needs a tread cover in the first place, nothing softer is worth fitting.

Choosing the right option
Finish. Mill is plain untreated aluminium for industrial and back-of-house work. Satin is anodised and holds its appearance in a public area.
Drilling. Undrilled lets you set fixings out on site around existing damage and reinforcement. Pre-drilled is faster across a long flight.
Length. Order the bar that covers your going in one piece, or use the cut-to-size version for anything between 250mm and 2750mm.
Installation, use and care
Make good any badly spalled areas first so the plate beds flat rather than bridging a void; a cover that rocks will loosen its fixings. Fix at roughly 300mm centres and bed in a structural adhesive as well as screwing on external stairs. Clean with a stiff brush and water; avoid acid and solvent cleaners.
