Fiberglass Stair Treads
For more information, please visit our website.
Stairs are a high-risk area when it comes to slipping or falling, and we always recommend that stairs and treads are secured and equipped with the right solution to prevent accidents happening.
Our GRP fiberglass stair tread gratings are lightweight &#; and strong, and an ideal alternative to conventional steel grating, concrete etc. They offer superior load bearing and are ideal in industrial and commercial settings, where there may be hazards such as liquids, oils, or debris on the surface, which can cause slips and falls.
Stair treads are made of lightweight fiberglass and are extremely durable. We have encapsulated sharp silicon carbide stones into the surface of the glass fiber to provide optimum friction &#; making them an ideal staircase tread solution for many industries.
Our non-metallic stair tread offers excellent value for money, particularly in high-traffic environments where safety and durability are paramount.
Fiberglass stair treads have many advantages compared to similar materials, including:
&#; GRP stair tread grating only weigh about 1/3 of steel grates &#; but are equally strong, making them a very cost-effective long-term investment
&#; Our fiberglass stair tread grating lasts much longer than i.e. a steel tread (no corrosion), making them suitable for use in environments where corrosion is a concern
&#; Installing our non-slip grp grating ensures that workers can safely walk on it even in wet and slippery conditions
&#; We can equip the staircase tread with a yellow &#;nose&#; on the edge of the step, to make it more visible and safe
&#; Our GRP stair treads are highly durable and can withstand heavy loads, extreme weather conditions, and exposure to chemicals and UV radiation
&#; Fiberglass gratings are comfortable and flexible to stand on and an ideal solution for stair treads

Cement, metal, and wood remain somewhat popular for outdoor stairways, but, with all factors considered, fiberglass is one of the most advantageous materials. Durability is just one reason to consider installing fiberglass stairs. Here is a more comprehensive look at why more and more homeowners are choosing this option.
What Is Fiberglass?Fiberglass is a plastic material reinforced with glass fiber. The fibers can be arranged in many ways to achieve a desired result, whether randomly arranged, flattened in sheets, or woven to create a fabric; thermoset polymers or thermoplastic polymers may be produced as well. Often called glass-reinforced plastic or glass-fiber reinforced plastic, it is used for many applications, including fiberglass insulation, piping, storage tanks, auto body parts, and building materials, to name a few.
BenefitsThe key benefits of fiberglass stairs and ladders include:
&#; Strength: By weight, it is stronger than many metals, including sheet metal. Being man-made, fiberglass is also stronger than wood. It withstands high tension and compression, as glass fiber is extremely stiff along its axis. Stairs made of the material, therefore, can withstand repeated use over the long term.
&#; Durability: Fiberglass is waterproof and resistant to rust and corrosion, so it is suited for locations near salt water. It also resists a variety of corrosive chemicals. This allows fiberglass stairs to be used in applications in which other materials could expose homeowners to risks of degradation. It&#;s also resistant to expansion and contraction due to temperature extremes and mechanical stress.
&#; Non-Conductive: Fiberglass does not conduct electricity. If a stairway is installed near a power source or electrical line, or electrically powered tools or appliances are used nearby, one need not worry about electrical currents transmitting through the material, as is the case with metal.
&#; Aesthetics: Fiberglass, although typically sporting a clean, classic look, can be molded into any shape. This allows infinite possibilities. Stairways can feature brand-specific elements or complement a home&#;s existing architecture. They can be crafted to suit virtually any design theme.
&#; Low Cost: Pricing is relatively stable compared to steel, including for production, installation, and maintenance. Since fiberglass is lightweight and strong, it costs less to ship and store.
&#; Eco-Friendly: Producing fiberglass is less energy-intensive than other materials. Fewer resources are required for maintenance while it&#;s also recyclable. The fibrous materials can be broken down and used for other applications when a product is no longer needed.
