Frequently Asked Questions

Can these GRP stair tread covers be used outdoors all year round?

Yes. The coarse external option is specifically designed for outdoor use and performs well in wet, icy and contaminated conditions. The GRP material is resistant to weathering and will not rust or rot, making it suitable for year-round external exposure.

How are the stair tread covers fixed in place?

The covers are typically installed over sound existing steps using suitable mechanical fixings such as screws or bolts, with appropriate plugs or anchors for the substrate. In some cases, a compatible high-strength adhesive may be used in conjunction with mechanical fixings to improve stability and reduce potential movement.

How do I choose between the coarse external and fine internal finishes?

Use the coarse external finish for outdoor stairs or areas where surfaces are likely to be wet, oily or contaminated, and a more aggressive grip is needed. The fine internal finish is better suited to indoor environments, such as offices and public buildings, where a slightly smoother yet still highly slip-resistant surface is preferred.
