Product Information

Full details

The Slips Away GRP Stair Nosings are designed for facility managers and building owners who need to improve stairway safety in high-traffic, public, or industrial environments. These heavy-duty covers provide superior traction in wet, oily, or icy conditions and feature high-visibility nosing to assist with step edge identification; however, they require a mechanical fastening or high-strength adhesive installation process that is permanent and requires precision.

FAQs

Are these treads suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the GRP material is highly resistant to UV light, moisture, and extreme temperatures, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor stairs.

Do these treads meet DDA requirements?

Yes, they are engineered to comply with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) 2004 and BS8300 Building Regulations regarding slip resistance and edge visibility.

Can I install these on wooden stairs?

Yes, they are compatible with timber staircases. Ensure you use appropriate screws for wood to secure them firmly.

What is the primary benefit of the nosing?

The nosing provides a clear visual contrast to the rest of the step, which helps pedestrians identify the edge of each step and reduces the risk of tripping.

How should I clean the treads?

Use a stiff-bristled brush to remove trapped dirt and wash with water and a mild detergent as needed.

Troubleshooting

The tread is lifting from the substrate

Check if the adhesive was applied to a clean surface and ensure the perimeter is adequately sealed. Re-fasten with additional mechanical screws if necessary.

Grit surface feels like it has lost traction

The surface is likely clogged with dirt or grease. Use a stiff-bristled broom and mild soap to scrub the tread and restore the abrasive finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces the risk of slips and falls in hazardous environments
  • Extremely durable material capable of handling heavy industrial traffic
  • Visible nosing design enhances safety for visually impaired users
  • Weather-resistant properties make it ideal for outdoor stairways
  • Helps building owners meet strict safety and accessibility standards

Cons

  • Installation is a semi-permanent to permanent commitment
  • Requires proper surface preparation for long-term adhesion
  • Material cannot be easily adjusted once cut to size

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the host substrate is clean, dry, and structurally sound before installation. For concrete steps, use a high-strength construction adhesive combined with stainless steel screw fixings. For timber or steel, ensure pre-drilling is performed if necessary to prevent material splitting or fastener failure.

Compatibility: These treads are designed to fit most standard staircase materials, including wood, metal, and concrete.

Care: The GRP surface is low maintenance. Periodic cleaning with a stiff-bristled brush and mild detergent will remove debris and grit buildup, ensuring the anti-slip properties remain fully effective over time.
