GRP Anti Slip Stair Treads at Harviglass
Slips and falls are one of the most common workplace hazards and can often result in serious injury. Therefore, it is imperative to take adequate precautions. Stairs are a particularly hazardous location, especially in industrial and outdoor areas where the steps are likely to become wet and difficult to safely traverse. GRP Stair treads provide simple, easy-to-install and cost-effective solutions to ensuring the safety of your workforce.
What Are GRP Stair Treads?
GRP stair treads are a type of stair covering made from Glass Reinforced Plastic, a material known for its durability and slip-resistant properties. These treads are commonly used in industrial and commercial settings to enhance safety and minimise the risk of slips and falls on staircases. They can be easily installed over existing stairs and are available in various colours and textures.
Our GRP stair treads are typically available at a 35-40mm thickness accompanied by a high visibility nosing which improves safety standards in darker and poorly light areas. Available with steel fixing to ensure a secure installation. GRP stair treads are also developed to allow effective stairway drainage.
GRP Is Highly Versatile
GRP stair treads by Harviglass can be cut to specific sizes to suit your installation requirements. They can also be installed on new and replacement staircase installations to provide a permanent and safe footing. The gritted anti-slip surface is well-proven and provides one of the highest possible degrees of slip resistance on the market with quarts integrally bonded in the grit surface. You can rest assured of a strong and longer-lasting safety installation.
Anti-Slip Technology Provides A Proven Increase In Workplace Safety
GRP stair treads by Harviglass have consistently reduced the number of reported incidents in all types of industries, effectively neutralising the potential dangers of walking surfaces that become wet and oily where they can drain safely through specially designed meshes. Stairways constantly have people ascending and descending many times per day. By adding the additional texture you give your team that little extra safety and security.
Anti Slip Stair Treads – Applications
- For New Construction Projects
Implementing anti-slip GRP stair treads in new building staircases is a proactive approach to ensuring long-term safety and durability. This foresight in construction planning not only elevates the safety standards from the outset but also embeds a commitment to accident prevention in architectural design. - As a Stair Tread Replacement Solution
GRP stair treads are a boon for refurbishing existing staircases that have become worn out or present a safety risk. Their ease of installation makes them a practical and cost-efficient solution for enhancing the safety of old staircases, thereby extending their life and functionality. - In High Foot Traffic Areas
The durability and slip resistance of GRP treads makes them ideal for places like shopping malls, educational institutions, or public buildings that experience high footfall. In these settings, the treads significantly minimise the risk of slip-and-fall accidents, contributing to a safer environment for large volumes of people. - Suitable for Heavy Industry Environments
The robust nature of GRP stair treads makes them an excellent choice for heavy industry areas, where stairs are often exposed to harsh conditions, including extreme weather and chemical spills. Their ability to withstand such demanding environments while providing consistent anti-slip protection is unparalleled, ensuring worker safety in industries where risks are inherently high.
Benefits of Using Anti Slip Stair Grips
- Enhanced Safety with Anti-Slip Surface: Their foremost advantage is the exceptional anti-slip surface, drastically reducing the likelihood of accidents, particularly in environments where wet or slippery conditions are common. This feature is crucial for maintaining safety standards in high-risk areas.
- Effective Drainage Design: Uniquely designed to facilitate water and liquid drainage, these stair treads prevent the accumulation of puddles, thereby averting potential slip hazards. This drainage capability is particularly beneficial in outdoor or wet environments, ensuring the stairs remain safe and navigable.

- Resilience Against Fire and Chemicals: GRP stair treads are not only robust in terms of physical wear and tear but are also resistant to fire and chemicals. This makes them an ideal choice for a variety of industrial settings where such exposures are common, enhancing the overall safety and longevity of the staircases.
- Low Maintenance Requirements: A significant advantage of these treads is their minimal maintenance needs. Once installed, they require little attention, which is a cost-effective and time-saving benefit for businesses. This low maintenance aspect ensures that the staircases remain safe and functional over long periods without additional investment in upkeep.
