FRP Tread Covers (Copy)
Fiberglass grating stair treads and stair covers are an essential complement to molded and pultruded grating installations.
FIBERGLASS STAIR TREADS & COVERS
Fiberglass stair treads and stair covers provide the same benefits of fiberglass grating. Designed to meet or exceed OSHA requirements and building code standards, fiberglass stair treads and covers are:
- Slip-resistant
- Fire retardant
- Non-conductive
- Low maintenance
- Easily fabricated in the shop or field
Types of FRP Stair Treads & Covers
Molded FRP Stair Treads
One-piece molded stair treads are 1-1/2” deep with a 1-1/2” x 6” mesh and a solid, visibly defined slip-resistant nosing. Available in the same high-performance resins as our molded fiberglass grating products, the grating portion of the tread is available with the standard meniscus or optional grit surface.
Fabrication is facilitated by unique cutting channels spaced at 6” increments which provide efficient utilization when cutting treads to common sizes. For additional information and load tables, please view Fiberglass Stair Tread Details.
Pultruded FRP Stair Treads
Safe-T-Span pultruded stair treads provide superior strength for stairways that require longer spans. These treads, designed with “I” shaped or “T” shaped bearing bars, have a solid, slip-resistant nosing in a contrasting color.
The standard surface the entire tread is applied quartz grit. Standard color options are yellow grating with dark gray nosing or dark gray grating with yellow nosing. For additional information and load tables, please view Fiberglass Stair Tread Details.
Covered Fiberglass Stair Treads
Designed as an alternative to the heavy, high-maintenance concrete or slippery metal steps, covered stair treads are designed for uses such as universities, commercial office parks, motels, and aquatic or amusement parks.
Standard in light gray Corvex® resin, other resins and colors are also available. The integrally applied grit top is available in two surface textures that provide slip resistance; lighter standard grit for barefoot traffic or coarse grit for industrial applications.

FRP Stair Covers
Fiberglass stair tread covers are a convenient way to provide solid, slip-resistant surface for existing stairs. These covers may be installed over wood, concrete, or metal steps.
Safe and durable, the covers are manufactured with an integral aluminum grit walking surface and a visible nosing of contrasting color. For specialty applications, a phosphorescent coating may be specified for the nosing. This treatment allows the nosing to glow upon removal of a primary light source and is commonly used for stairs that serve in emergency exits.
