Description
This heavy-duty anti slip stair tread is manufactured from robust GRP (glass reinforced plastic) with a durable silicon carbide grit surface, providing reliable R13-rated slip resistance in demanding environments. Designed to cover the full step depth, it offers excellent underfoot grip even in wet, oily or heavily trafficked conditions.
Ideal for upgrading existing staircases in commercial, industrial and public access areas, this retrofit tread solution quickly improves safety on worn, smooth or hazardous steps. Available in a range of lengths from 0.75 m to 3 m and high-visibility black/yellow or black/white finishes, it delivers a long-lasting, low-maintenance anti slip surface for internal and external stairs.
