Frequently Asked Questions

Can these stair tread covers be cut to size on site?

Yes, GRP stair tread covers can normally be trimmed on site using appropriate cutting tools such as a fine-toothed saw or diamond blade. Any cut edges should be smoothed and sealed according to best practice to maintain durability and appearance.

Are they suitable for outdoor stairs exposed to rain and frost?

Yes, the GRP construction is weather-resistant and the anti-slip grit surface is designed to maintain grip in wet conditions. They are suitable for external stairs subject to rain, frost and typical UK weather, provided they are correctly installed and maintained.

How are the tread covers fixed to existing steps?

The covers are generally installed over clean, sound substrates using countersunk screws or bolts through pre-drilled holes, often combined with a compatible adhesive for additional stability. Fixing centres and methods should follow good practice for the specific stair material and expected foot traffic.
