Why choose Durbar Sheets & Stair Treads?
What are Durbar Sheets & Stair Treads?
Durbar Sheets & Stair Treads, are heavy-duty, protective, solid steel flooring components characterised by a distinctive, raised surface pattern. This signature texture forms a multi-directional, non-slip surface designed to maximise safety and grip underfoot in demanding environments, providing an inherently self-draining and easy-to-clean surface.
What are the choices when it comes to
Durbar Sheets & Stair Treads?
At F.H.Brundle, you can choose from a robust selection of Durbar flat sheets, Durbar stair treads, and DDA-compliant stair treads to construct highly secure walkways. Featuring a distinctive raised leaf pattern that forms an all-directional, non-slip surface, these choices are available in various dimensions and turn-up/turn-down configurations to deliver durable, self-draining, and easy-to-clean flooring solutions
| Feature Category | Key Benefit | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Surface Design | Multi-Directional Slip Resistance |
The distinctive raised leaf pattern forms an anti-slip surface in every direction, providing exceptional traction and grip underfoot. |
| Maintenance & Hygiene | Low-Maintenance & Easy to Clean |
The layout of the pattern creates a self-draining surface that is quick to wash down, heavily reducing dirt buildup. |
| Material Longevity | Corrosion Resistance | Efficient self-drainage prevents standing water, which inherently slows down rust and significantly extends the lifespan of the steel. |
| Product Variants | Application Versatility | Available in raw/mild steel flat sheets for general fabrications, as well as pre-formed standard stair treads and specialised DDA-compliant variants. |
| Compliance & Safety | Public Safety Standard Alignment | The range includes specific DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) style stair treads configured with a 50mm turn-up and a 145mm turn-down to meet strict building safety regulations. |
| Application Scope | Industrial & Commercial Suitability | Highly adaptable structural components perfect for demanding environments such as fire escapes, steps, safety platforms, walkways, bridges, commercial vehicles, and offshore installations. |
Where can Durbar Sheets & Stair Treads be used?
Durbar sheets and stair treads are highly versatile structural components designed for demanding environments and can be used for:
• Stairs and Steps: Fire escapes, external staircases, and standard industrial steps.
• Walkways and Platforms: Safety platforms, industrial walkways, and factory flooring.
• Transportation: Commercial vehicle flooring, steps, tail lifts, and ramp access.
• Infrastructure: Bridges, pedestrian walkways, and public access areas requiring DDA-compliant treads.
• Heavy Industrial environments: Offshore installations, oil rigs, and chemical plants where self-draining and non-slip properties are critical.
Why is Durbar so popular?
Durbar sheets and stair treads are incredibly popular in industrial, commercial, and offshore applications due to several key practical advantages:
(1) Exceptional Multi-Directional Slip Resistance: The defining feature of Durbar steel is its distinctive raised leaf pattern. Because these studs are distributed across the surface at alternating angles, they provide excellent grip and traction from any direction, drastically reducing the risk of slips and falls.
(2) Low Maintenance and Easy Cleaning: The specific layout of the raised pattern prevents dirt and debris from becoming trapped easily. It creates a self-draining surface that can be quickly and effortlessly washed or hosed down, keeping maintenance time and costs to a minimum.
(3) Enhanced Longevity and Corrosion Prevention: Because the surface design allows water to drain away freely rather than pooling in puddles, it naturally minimizes the risk of standing water. This heavily reduces the acceleration of rust and corrosion, significantly extending the lifespan of the steel structure.
(4) Versatility and Versatile Styles: They are available as raw mild steel flat sheets for custom fabrication, standard stair treads, or specialised DDA-compliant (Disability Discrimination Act) treads featuring precise 50mm turn-up and 145mm turn-down configurations to meet strict building safety regulations.
(5) Heavy-Duty Durability: Made from robust mild steel, they are engineered to withstand incredibly harsh environments—such as fire escapes, commercial vehicle flooring, and offshore installations—without warping or losing their structural integrity under heavy foot traffic.
