Stairways, which can become slick with water, grease, or even everyday wear and tear, present a particular hazard. Fortunately, innovative stair grating treads can significantly reduce the risk of accidents by improving traction and providing a secure walking surface. This blog post dives into the world of anti-slip stair grating treads, exploring the two main material types and [four key surface options](https://fibergrate.com/media/180704/available-surface-options.pdf) that suit the industrial and commercial settings the best. ![Leelanau Cellars - stair grating treads](https://blog.fibergrate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/.Blog%20Images/Project%20Images/stair_treads/Leelanau%20Cellars%20-%20stair%20grating%20treads.png?width=480&height=640&name=Leelanau%20Cellars%20-%20stair%20grating%20treads.png) Fibergrate's stair grating treads at Leelanau Cellars ## Fibergrate Stair Grating Treads - Material Options Fibergrate offers two primary FRP stair tread solutions: molded and pultruded gratings. **Molded Treads:** [Fibergrate's Fibertred® molded stair treads](https://www.fibergrate.com/products/stair-solutions/fibertred%C2%AE-molded-treads/) are formed by injecting resin into a mold, creating a one-piece unit with exceptional strength. A key advantage of molded treads is the ability to integrate a gritted surface directly into the tread during manufacturing. This creates a uniformly slip-resistant surface throughout the tread's lifespan. ![Ruby Collins -Molded Fibertread Grating-Stairs](https://blog.fibergrate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/.Blog%20Images/Project%20Images/stair_treads/Ruby%20Collins%20-Molded%20Fibertread%20Grating-Stairs.jpg?width=2000&height=1500&name=Ruby%20Collins%20-Molded%20Fibertread%20Grating-Stairs.jpg) Fibergrate's molded Fibertred® solution   [Fibergrate Regional Sales Manager, TJ Looper](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tj-looper-79822750/), mentioned one vertical where molded gratings are gaining popularity. *“Our covered molded stair treads for residential and commercial applications look like concrete. This product is picking up steam in multifamily housing. Apartments can renovate and replace the stairs in one day instead of setting up and pouring concrete.”* **Pultruded Treads:** These economical treads are manufactured by pulling molten fiberglass resin through a die, forming a continuous profile. Pultruded treads are available in a variety of depths and configurations, including I-beam and T-bar designs. [Fibergrate's Safe-T-Span® pultruded treads](https://www.fibergrate.com/products/stair-solutions/safe-t-span%C2%AE-pultruded-treads/) offer a slip-resistant surface, thanks to the grit incorporated during the pultrusion process. **\*Stair Tread Installation Note:** For optimal performance, ensure all load-carrying bars of pultruded treads, especially the nosing, are fully supported at their ends. To preserve structural integrity and corrosion resistance, seal cut ends using Fibergrate's recommended sealing and bonding kit. ## Fibergrate Stair Grating Treads - Anti-Slip Surface Options ### 1. Meniscus Stair Grating Treads The term "meniscus" typically refers to the curve at the surface of a liquid. However, in the context of non-slip stair treads, it often describes a slight upward or downward curve or edge created on the tread surface. Coatings may be applied to create a textured surface with slight raised edges, enhancing traction. This meniscus effect aims to increase friction and provide a more secure footing for users. ***\*Important Note:*** *Meniscus coating is only available on Fibergrate's molded grating stair treads.* ### 2. Integrally Applied Grit Stair Grating Treads Integrally applied grit refers to the process of embedding abrasive particles (grit) directly into the surface material of the stair tread. This creates a durable, non-slip surface that resists wear and tear. The grit, made of recycled aggregate, is incorporated into the material during the manufacturing process, ensuring it becomes an integral part of the surface. Integrally applied grit is ideal for environments prone to wet, oily, or slippery conditions, such as industrial settings, outdoor stairs, and areas with heavy pedestrian traffic. It is frequently used in compliance with safety standards to reduce slip and fall hazards. ### 3. Aqua Grit (Barefoot Traffic Grit) Aqua Grit refers to a specialized type of abrasive material designed specifically for environments prone to moisture or wet conditions. It can be treated for UV resistance as well. Aqua Grit is engineered to maintain its slip-resistant properties even in wet, humid, or submerged conditions, making it ideal for aquatic and marine environments such as swimming pools, docks, or outdoor stairs. It is also highly chemical resistant to withstand chlorine and other water treatments. ## [Case Study: Leelanau Wine Cellars](https://www.fibergrate.com/case-studies/food-beverage-case-studies/leelanau-wine-cellars-frp-platforms-and-stairs/) Fibergrate's commitment to safety is exemplified in the Leelanau Wine Cellars project. The winery needed a safe and easy way for workers to access large tanks. Traditional materials would quickly wear from the chemicals used in their production process.   ## Ready to Explore Your Options?
