Your Next Stair Tread Solution

Every facility manager knows the frustration: another maintenance request for the outdoor stairs. Again. Traditional stair materials—wood, metal, concrete—promise durability but deliver constant problems instead. That wooden staircase installed just five years ago? Already showing rot and dangerous splits. The metal treads outside the pool area? Corroded and slippery every time it rains, creating a liability nightmare. The concrete steps at the main entrance? Cracked and crumbling, giving visitors a poor first impression.

For hotels, apartment complexes, and commercial properties, these aren't isolated incidents—they're predictable, expensive cycles. And the problems don't stop at material failure. Try installing or replacing heavy concrete or metal stairs: you'll need cranes, reinforced structures, extended labour hours, and significant site disruption. The "economical" choice becomes anything but economical when you factor in the true lifecycle costs.

In response to these persistent challenges, Fibergrate Composite Structures has developed comprehensive GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) stair tread solutions specifically engineered to address the limitations of conventional materials. Our stair tread systems and covers deliver four critical advantages: superior corrosion resistance, improved slip resistance, minimal maintenance requirements, and significantly reduced weight.

The slip-resistant surface of GRP stair treads addresses a critical safety concern. Rather than applied coatings that wear away, the slip resistance is integral to the material, ensuring consistent performance throughout the product's lifespan—even under heavy foot traffic and persistent wet conditions. 

GRP's corrosion-resistant properties prove valuable in outdoor applications exposed to rainfall and extreme environmental elements. This makes our stair treads particularly suitable for coastal ares with salty air and regions where winter gritting accelerates metal corrosion. Unlike steel, GRP maintains structural integrity and appearance indefinitely—no rust, no rot, no degradation.

GRP stair treads eliminate major logistical challenges. Installation requires no cranes, road closures, or heavy-lifting equipment—reducing costs, timelines, and health and safety risks, thanks to its lightweight nature.

The combination of long lifespan, minimal maintenance, improved safety, and easy installation creates compelling total cost of ownership advantages. Whether for new construction or upgrading existing infrastructure, GRP addresses the fundamental challenges of traditional materials—delivering reliable, safe, cost-effective performance for decades.  

GRP stair tread systems represent the most practical solution for both new installations and retrofit applications, delivering superior value through reduced lifecycle costs, enhanced safety performance, and minimal maintenance requirements.
