Description
These aluminium non-slip stair tread covers provide a robust, ready-made solution for improving slip resistance on existing staircases. Each cover features a hard-wearing resin insert with integrated abrasive grit, designed to significantly increase traction underfoot in busy commercial and public environments.
Supplied with a high-visibility nosing in either black with yellow or black with white, these tread covers clearly define the step edge to help reduce the risk of trips and falls. Available in 1000mm and 1500mm lengths with a 200mm profile to protect the front of the step and a generous section of the tread, they are ideal for refurbishing worn or slippery stairs with minimal downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can these stair tread covers be used outdoors?
Yes. The aluminium construction and resin abrasive surface make them suitable for both internal and external stairs, provided they are installed on a sound, stable substrate.
How do I choose between black with yellow nosing and black with white nosing?
Both options provide good contrast, but yellow nosing is often preferred for high-visibility safety applications, while white nosing may be chosen to better match interior colour schemes. Consider the surrounding floor finish and lighting conditions when selecting.
Can the 1000mm and 1500mm lengths be cut to size on site?
Yes. The aluminium profiles can typically be cut to length using appropriate metal-cutting tools. Any cut edges should be de-burred and cleaned before installation to ensure a neat finish and safe handling.
