GRP Stair Treads
Captrad’s GRP Stair Treads provide exceptional slip resistance and long-lasting protection for stairways and landings. Designed to cover the entire tread area, they significantly reduce slip hazards in both indoor and outdoor environments — instantly improving stair safety once installed.
Why Choose Captrad GRP Stair Treads?
Many of our GRP stair treads are installed over traditional steel checker plate stairs, which are notoriously slippery when wet. By comparison, Captrad’s fibreglass stair treads deliver permanent slip resistance, transforming hazardous steps into safe, compliant access routes. The treads are quick and easy to install, typically being adhesively bonded and mechanically fixed in place, providing an instant upgrade without the need for full stair replacement.
Each tread is designed to withstand heavy use while remaining resistant to corrosion, impact, and weathering. This makes them ideal for industrial, commercial, and public environments where safety and reliability are paramount. Captrad also offers contrasting coloured nosings which comply with BS8300 Building Regulations and Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) requirements, improving visibility and accessibility for all users.
Because they are made from Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP), these stair treads require minimal maintenance. Their sealed surface resists dirt and chemicals, allowing for easy cleaning and long-term use without deterioration. They are available in a variety of colours, grit grades, and sizes, ensuring every installation meets both aesthetic and performance needs.
Where GRP Stair Treads Are Used
Captrad’s GRP Stair Treads are suitable for a wide range of environments, including industrial sites, public buildings, offices, car parks, and leisure facilities. They are commonly fitted over metal stairs in factories, warehouses, and transport hubs where safety in all conditions is essential. Their combination of durability, strength, and anti-slip performance also makes them popular in marine, rail, and offshore settings, as well as golf courses, sports venues, and other outdoor applications.
Captrad can also manufacture GRP Stair Nosings to accompany your treads, offering consistent slip resistance across stair edges while meeting compliance and aesthetic requirements.
