Slips Away Grp Stair Nosing Cover - HAZARD-20

The standard covers are designed for straight steps. For spiral staircases, custom solutions or specific flexible GRP products might be necessary, depending on the radius.

GRP stands for Glass Reinforced Plastic. It's a composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with glass fibers, known for its strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion.

When installed correctly and maintained, Slips Away GRP Stair Tread Covers are designed for long-term durability, often lasting many years, even in high-traffic environments.

Adhesive installation is the primary method. Mechanical fastening is optional but may require pre-drilling into the substrate if used.

Yes, the GRP material and its textured surface provide excellent grip, significantly reducing the risk of slips on icy surfaces. However, they do not prevent ice formation itself.

The integral nosing provides a highly visible edge to each step, which is crucial for safety, especially in dimly lit areas or for individuals with visual impairments. It helps prevent misjudging step height and tripping.

While GRP can be cut, it requires appropriate tools and safety precautions (dust mask, eye protection). It is best to measure carefully and order the correct size to avoid the need for cutting.

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Use the recommended adhesive and follow curing instructions. Consider mechanical fastening for added security.

Verify that the protective film (if any) has been removed. Check for any contaminants (oil, grease) that may have transferred onto the surface. Clean with a degreaser and water.

While designed for visibility, consider supplementary low-level lighting on staircases that are consistently dark. Ensure the nosing color is contrasted effectively with the main tread.
