IMS supplies GRP stair tread covers designed for high-traffic environments where consistent slip resistance and minimal maintenance are essential. Manufactured from Glass-Reinforced Polymer (GRP), these tread covers combine a robust structural base with a hard-wearing, aggregate-bonded surface to deliver reliable grip on worn, smooth, or hazardous stairs.

Each stair tread cover is engineered to overlay existing substrates such as concrete, timber, or steel, creating an immediate improvement in safety and compliance without major structural work.

Product Performance and Benefits

  • Slip resistance tested to BS 7976-2: Proven grip performance in both wet and dry conditions.
  • High durability: GRP construction resists corrosion, impact, and chemical exposure.
  • Quick installation: Lightweight profiles can be bonded or mechanically fixed with minimal downtime.
  • Visual safety enhancement: Factory-finished contrasting nosing available in yellow or white to improve visibility and meet HSE guidance.
  • Low maintenance: The non-porous finish prevents rust, rot, and peeling, reducing lifetime upkeep.
  • Custom options: Available pre-drilled, pre-cut, or manufactured to bespoke dimensions on request.

Suitable Environments

  • Industrial access staircases and gantries 
  • Plant maintenance platforms and mezzanine steps
  • External fire escapes and service access routes
  • Warehousing and logistics facilities
  • Marine and chemical processing sites

IMS GRP stair tread covers are designed to withstand demanding industrial use while maintaining long-term slip resistance and visual safety.

Stair Tread Cover FAQs

What sizes and thicknesses are available?

IMS stair tread covers are available in standard lengths of 1.2 m, 2.4 m, and 3 m, with thicknesses typically ranging from 4 mm to 5 mm for general use. Heavy-duty applications can be specified up to 8 mm. 

Can the covers be fixed over damaged or uneven stairs?

Yes. As long as the underlying step remains structurally sound, GRP stair covers can be installed directly using adhesive or screws. They effectively level uneven treads and restore safe footing

Are these suitable for external or high-moisture environments?

Yes. The GRP matrix and resin system are resistant to water, UV degradation, and frost, making the covers suitable for outdoor or exposed installations. 

Do the covers comply with safety standards?

All IMS GRP stair tread covers are manufactured to provide high slip resistance and meet BS 7976-2 testing criteria. Contrast-coloured nosing also aligns with DDA and HSE recommendations for step-edge visibility.

Can IMS provide pre-drilled or custom-length treads?

Yes. IMS offers precision-cut and pre-drilled options to match project requirements, reducing on-site fabrication and ensuring a consistent fit during installation.
