Product Information

Full details

The Slips Away GRP Stair Tread Covers are designed for facility managers, industrial site owners, and safety officers looking to eliminate fall hazards on high-traffic public access stairways. These covers offer a durable, high-friction surface that remains effective even when wet, oily, or icy, significantly improving safety in both indoor and outdoor environments. The primary caveat is that because these are rigid GRP panels, they require precise measurement and mechanical fastening during installation to ensure they remain flush against the existing substrate.

FAQs

Are these treads suitable for residential use?

While intended for public and industrial settings, they can be used in residential areas where heavy-duty slip resistance is required.

Do I need special tools to cut these to size?

Yes, GRP is a hard material; a jigsaw or angle grinder with a diamond-tipped or masonry blade is recommended for clean cuts.

How do these comply with DDA regulations?

The integrated nosing provides the necessary color contrast and edge definition required by DDA and BS8300 standards.

Can I glue these down instead of screwing them?

While heavy-duty adhesive can be used, mechanical fixing is strongly recommended for high-traffic public areas to ensure long-term stability.

Is the white color permanent?

Yes, the coloring is integrated into the GRP resin during manufacturing, providing long-term color fastness.

Troubleshooting

Tread is rocking or moving after installation

Ensure the underlying step surface is level; if not, use a leveling compound before refastening the tread.

Screws are lifting from the surface

Ensure you are using countersunk screws and that they are driven deep enough so the screw head is flush with the surface of the tread.

Grit surface becoming clogged with mud

Use a stiff brush or a pressure washer to clear the debris from the texture. Regular maintenance will prevent build-up.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces slip and trip hazards
  • Suitable for extreme weather conditions
  • Meets DDA and BS8300 compliance standards
  • Durable construction for high-traffic public areas
  • Easy to retrofit onto various surface materials

Cons

  • Requires mechanical fastening rather than simple adhesive
  • Surface can be abrasive to skin if touched directly
  • Requires precise measurement for custom-fit edges

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires basic hand tools including a drill and corrosion-resistant screws to secure the treads to the existing staircase. Ensure the substrate is clean, level, and free of debris before positioning the tread. For concrete steps, use appropriate masonry wall plugs for a secure fit. For timber or steel, ensure the screws are flush with the surface of the GRP to prevent snagging. To clean, use a stiff-bristle broom or a high-pressure washer to remove dirt, grease, or mud from the grit surface. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents that could degrade the resin matrix over extended periods.
