Why choose GRP stair treads & nosing?<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

What are GRP stair treads
\n& nosing?<\/h2>\n<\/div>

Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) stair treads, and nosing<\/a><\/u><\/b>, sometimes referred to as glass fibre nosing, <\/span>are safety-focused flooring components made from high-quality fibreglass and resin. They are designed to provide a highly durable, slip-resistant surface for steps in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.<\/span><\/p>\n

GRP stair treads<\/a><\/u><\/b> are an <\/span>extremely strong, one-piece open mesh panel that provides excellent compressive and tensile strength. <\/span><\/p>\n

GRP nosing<\/a><\/u> <\/b><\/span>is the critical front edge of the stair tread, featuring an i<\/span>ntegrated, contrasting coloured gritted nosing.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

What are the choices when it comes to GRP stair treads & nosing?<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

At F.H.Brundle<\/a><\/b>, we offer a selection of GRP stair treads & nosing<\/a><\/u><\/b>. Stair treads are available in green or grey with yellow gritted nosing, and yellow with black gritted nosing. Our range is available in 996 x 275mm and 1220 x 275mm <\/span>tread size. Nosing are available in two grit profiles, Type I<\/i> with a smaller fine grit size, usually for internal use and Type E <\/i>with heavier coarse grit profile, for the rigours of the external environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Feature Category<\/span><\/th>\nKey Benefit<\/span><\/th>\nDetail<\/span><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Material Composition<\/td>\nHigh strength-to-weight ratio and environmental resilience<\/td>\nManufactured from high-quality fibreglass and resin. It is much lighter than steel, fire and chemical resistant, and engineered to withstand major impacts and harsh weather.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Slip-Resistant Surface<\/td>\nSignificantly improves public safety by reducing slips, trips, and falls<\/td>\nFeatures a tough, embedded gritted top surface. Available in two grit profiles: Type I (Fine Grit) with a smaller grit size intended for internal use, and Type E (Coarse Grit) with a heavier profile designed for rigorous external environments.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Contrasting Nosing<\/td>\nProvides visual boundary highlighting for high accessibility.<\/td>\nDesigned to contrast the leading edges of a staircase. Ideal for public-facing stairs to assist partially sighted users and ensure visibility in low lighting or poor weather.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Installation & Substrates<\/td>\nFast, convenient, and cost-effective retrofitting.<\/td>\nCan be quickly applied over almost any existing structural surface, including concrete, steel, or timber, without replacing the underlying stair structure.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Size & Profile Options<\/td>\nAdaptable to specific building requirements and layout standards.<\/td>\nNosing profiles are available in two primary sizes: 70 x 30mm\u00a0and 55 x 55mm. Tread covers typically measure 4mm thick and come in pre-cut standard widths 1000mm, 1500mm or bulk lengths up to 3020mm.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Corrosion Resistance<\/td>\nLow maintenance and long service life.<\/td>\nCompletely rust and rot-proof, removing the need for frequent ongoing maintenance, periodic painting, or chemical protective treatments.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

“Stair Treads and Nosing are the ultimate,
\nanti-slip alternative to traditional steel or iron nosing and stair treads. You get a lightweight, easy-to-install solution that dramatically increases safety underfoot, meaning no heavy lifting machinery or complex installations are required. Because they feature a highly durable, corrosion-proof, and chemical-resistant gritted surface, they won’t rot, rust, or wear down – delivering a long-lasting, low-maintenance finish that stays incredibly safe even in the wettest or harshest industrial environments.”<\/i><\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Why are GRP stair treads & nosing so popular?<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) stair treads & nosing<\/a><\/u><\/b> <\/span>are highly popular because they offer a cost-effective, high-performance solution to critical safety and structural issues.<\/span><\/p>\n

(1) <\/b><\/span>Exceptional Slip Resistance and Public Safety: <\/b>The tough, embedded gritted surface that delivers maximum traction, and the <\/span>ability to drastically reduce slips, trips, and falls. Two grit profiles to suit specific environments – Type I (Fine Grit) for internal use, and Type E (Coarse Grit) for external use.<\/span><\/p>\n

(2) <\/span>Instant Regulatory and Legal Compliance:<\/b> For commercial property owners, public infrastructure managers, and employers, these products offer an immediate way to meet strict legal safety standards. The integrated, contrasting-coloured nosing makes the edge of each step highly visible.<\/p>\n

(3) Cost-Effective and Easy Installation: <\/b>Instead of closing a staircase and paying for a full, structural replacement, GRP allows for easy rejuvenation. Treads and nosings are designed to fit quickly and directly over almost any existing surface, including concrete, steel, or timber.<\/span><\/p>\n

(4) Extreme Material Durability and Zero Upkeep:<\/b> GRP outlasts traditional materials like wood or steel in harsh conditions while requiring virtually no maintenance. They are completely rust-proof, rot-proof, chemical-resistant, and fire-retardant. <\/span>While they are incredibly lightweight they are engineered to withstand major impacts and heavy, high-traffic environmental strains.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
