Most anti-slip tapes can be removed without damaging the underlying surface when removed correctly.

GRP stair nosings and stair tread covers are anti-slip safety products designed to improve grip and reduce the risk of slips and falls on staircases.

Stair nosings are fitted to the leading edge of each step to provide additional visibility and slip resistance, while stair tread covers protect the entire tread surface. Manufactured from durable Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP), they are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use and are ideal for residential, commercial and industrial environments.

GRP stair nosings and tread covers offer a simple, long-lasting way to improve stair safety without replacing the existing staircase.

Key benefits include:

• Excellent slip resistance in wet and dry conditions
• Durable GRP construction
• Suitable for indoor and outdoor use
• Resistant to weather, corrosion and chemicals
• Low maintenance
• Suitable for timber, concrete and metal stairs
• Ideal for commercial, industrial and domestic applications

They also help improve step visibility and can assist with meeting workplace safety requirements.

GRP stair nosings and tread covers can be installed on a wide range of stair surfaces, including:

• Timber
• Concrete
• Steel
• Composite materials
• Masonry

This makes them suitable for homes, schools, warehouses, offices, factories, public buildings and outdoor staircases.

GRP stair nosings and tread covers are straightforward to install.

For the best results:

• Clean and dry the stair surface thoroughly.
• Measure the staircase and cut the product to size if required.
• Apply the recommended adhesive and position the nosing or tread cover carefully.
• Where required, secure the product using mechanical fixings.
• Allow any adhesive to cure according to the manufacturer's recommendations before use.

Installation methods may vary depending on the product and stair surface. Please follow the fitting instructions supplied with your order.

Stair nosings are fitted to the front edge of each step to improve visibility and provide additional slip resistance where foot traffic is highest.

Stair tread covers protect the entire walking surface of the step, offering full-width anti-slip protection while also helping to cover worn or damaged stairs.

Both products improve safety and are available in durable GRP for long-lasting performance in residential, commercial and industrial environments.

Yes.

We can cut your GRP stair nosings or stair tread covers to your required size before dispatch.

Please note that custom-cut or modified products are made to order and are therefore non-returnable unless faulty.

Yes.

GRP stair nosings are designed for both indoor and outdoor environments. They are resistant to rain, frost, UV exposure and corrosion, making them ideal for external staircases, entrances, fire escapes and other exposed areas.

Manufactured from high-quality Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP), our stair nosings and tread covers are designed to provide many years of reliable performance.

Their durable construction resists heavy foot traffic, weathering and everyday wear, making them a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution for improving stair safety in both domestic and commercial settings.
