Stair tread is available in grating, plate, perforated plate and expanded metal. It’s installed in the road or flooring, where the chances of skidding are there. This stair tread is available with or without angle frame. It easily retrofitted over existing grating or unsafe diamond checker plate assemblies. Meantime stair tread can be welded directly to current treads or stringers or can be bolted in place.Holes can be provided pre drilled for easy installation or can be drilled and countersunk in the field, without harming the surface. Therefore grating stair treads are ideal in wet and oily situations such as oil rigs, food processing plants and marine applications.
Stair tread creates a permanently slip resistant surface that is resistant to elements such as grease, dust and oil. When retrofitting over concrete steps, non-slip stair treads is routinely mounted into masonry anchors. Stair treads have become an integral safety component for extreme wear longevity and continual safety.They are available in thicknesses of 1/8″ up to 1/2″ and standard depths of 8″ – 12″. It’s important that the correct grating load bar size and grating type is used based on the required stair tread span and loading. The table below is a basic guide used to establish the correct grating type required.
