Product Specification
Span: Up to 2.1m (2100mm).
Thickness: 65mm & 90mm Thicknesses.
Profiles: Square Nosed & Rake-Back Profiles Available.
DDA Compliant: Featuring an Enhanced Anti-Slip Surface Finish & High-Visual Guidance Sightline.
Product Features
Enhanced Non-Slip Surface Finish.
Featuring the SureGrip Quartz-Grit Anti-Slip Surface Finish, the Structread classes as an enhanced non-slip surface finish, providing a safe and secure slip resistant surface underfoot which is twice the industry standard.
High-Visual Guidance Sightline.
The product features a contrasting high-visual nosing which acts as a guidance sightline to assist partially sighted pedestrians whilst using the stairs.
Load Bearing Characteristics.
Structreads offer a load-bearing step replacement system which is designed to span up to 2100mm. The product has passed extensive load-testing trials and testing reports are available on request.
Load testing of the panel 1500mm x 320mm was undertaken and loaded with a point load at the centre.
The load test was undertaken to failure which was 3.5 Tonne ( 35K/N ). We note that the specification in prefabricated systems is of sustaining a point load of ½ a Tonne ( 5K/N ).
Hardwearing & Robust GRP Material.
Designed to withstand the toughest of conditions, a GRP (Glass-Reinforced Plastic) product is robust, durable and will last for years to come, making the product ideal for external enviroments.

Design Specification
The SureGRP Structural Stair Tread is a pultruded glass-reinforced-plastic three-piece construction which features a built-in interlocking riser which can be removed if required.
Structreads are designed to be universally quick and easy to install.
The bespoke, modular design is uniquely manufactured to your exact requirements and this allows the servicer enormous flexibility both at the design stage and on-site.
Design Composition
​SureGRP Structural Stair Treads are available in 65mm or 90mm thicknesses.
Manufactured from a pultruded 40mm core section, with a 10mm GRP plate for the underside rear riser section (Up to 170mm) and an additional 10mm GRP Plate with a fabricated nosing which is integrated to the front.
An abrasive quartz-grit is encapsulated into the top walkway surface, to provide an abrasive, durable, enhanced non-slip surface finish.
The stair tread system is designed to adapt to the two most usual timber stair component sizes in common usage for network rail footbridges, which are 75mm and 100mm.
The system provides a 65mm interlocking adjustment from tread to tread, meaning replacement of degraded timber is easy.
We manufacture the product with 10mm to 6mm profile on the top section (from front to back) to provide a sloped finish to disperse water for drainage and avoid water-build up.
Load Bearing Characteristics.
SureGRP structural stair treads have the ability to span up to 2.1m clear open span, achieving the required 5kN/m2 at L/300 deflection which means that additional supports can be avoided in most situations.
Fixing Methods.
The product is fixed together using stainless steel clamping bars underneath fixed to pins using stainless steel domed head nuts.
