Description
Tread extenders are fitted to older stairs, and older stairs are rarely a standard width. This is the same 82.5mm aluminium extender as our 1m, 1.5m and 2m stock bars, cut here to the exact millimetre you specify between 250mm and 2750mm, tolerance plus or minus 5mm.
What it is
An 82.5mm aluminium section fixed to the front of an existing tread to increase the effective going, carrying an aluminium oxide grit insert along the new leading edge. It is the retrofit answer where a stair is too shallow underfoot and rebuilding the flight is not an option. It does not change the rise, and it is not on its own a route to compliance.
Why cut to size
An extender that stops short of the string leaves a step that is deeper in the middle than at the edges, which is worse than leaving it alone. Workshop cutting gives clean square ends and lets you order each step to its own measurement.

Measuring
Measure every tread; on an old stair the variation is often 10mm or more. Between two walls take 3mm to 5mm off. Check that the resulting projection is the same on every step, since an inconsistent going is more hazardous than a uniformly shallow one. Custom lengths are non-returnable except for faults.
Ordering and delivery
