Frequently Asked Questions

Can these GRP stair treads be installed over existing worn or damaged steps?

Yes. The treads are designed to be fitted directly over existing substrates such as concrete, timber, stone or metal. They can help cover uneven or spalled surfaces, provided the underlying structure is sound and properly prepared before fixing.

Are the stair treads suitable for outdoor use and exposure to weather?

Yes. The GRP construction is resistant to corrosion, moisture and UV exposure, making these treads suitable for outdoor stairs and fire escapes. The gritted surface maintains slip resistance in wet and icy conditions when properly maintained.

How are the treads fixed in place?

The treads are typically installed using a combination of mechanical fixings (such as stainless steel screws through pre-drilled holes) and a suitable high-strength adhesive. The exact fixing method and pattern should be chosen to suit the substrate and site conditions, following good practice for safe installation.
