Stair Tread Covers
Captrad’s Stair Tread Covers provide a simple, effective, and long-lasting solution for reducing slip hazards on steps and landings. Designed to completely cover the tread area, these anti-slip panels offer immediate safety improvements once installed. Each cover features a carbon-grit surface that is chemically bonded to the fibreglass base, delivering exceptional grip and durability in all weather conditions.
Our Stair Tread Covers are widely used in commercial, industrial, and public environments where safety and compliance are paramount. Whether indoors or outdoors, they ensure reliable slip resistance — even in wet, oily, or icy conditions.
Why Choose Captrad Stair Tread Covers?
Traditional steel checker-plate stairs are known to become extremely slippery in wet or frosty weather, posing a significant safety risk. Captrad’s GRP Stair Tread Covers offer a quick and cost-effective solution that can be installed directly over existing steps, transforming unsafe stairways into secure, compliant access routes.
Installation is straightforward. Each cover is typically adhesively bonded and mechanically fixed, providing a strong and permanent finish. Once fitted, stair safety is instantly improved, with minimal disruption or downtime.
Our stair tread covers are made from Glass Reinforced Plastic (fibreglass), which makes them lightweight yet incredibly strong, corrosion-resistant, and virtually maintenance-free. They are suitable for both internal and external applications and perform exceptionally well in harsh environments where traditional materials may fail.
Captrad also offers contrasting coloured nosings that comply with BS8300 Building Regulations and Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) guidelines, improving step visibility and accessibility for all users. This makes our products ideal for use in workplaces, public buildings, schools, car parks, transport hubs, and leisure facilities.
Performance and Durability You Can Rely On
Each stair tread cover is manufactured to withstand heavy foot traffic, impact, and exposure to chemicals and moisture. The chemically bonded carbon-grit surface maintains its anti-slip properties for many years, ensuring consistent safety performance in even the most challenging conditions.
Because the GRP material is non-corrosive, it will not rust, rot, or weaken over time — providing a long-term, low-maintenance solution for any type of stairway. Stair tread covers can be supplied in a variety of colours, grit grades, and sizes to suit your project’s exact requirements. Matching GRP Stair Nosings can also be manufactured for full compliance and design consistency.
