Material Characteristics & Approvals

Quality Assurance:

• Manufactured in accordance with ISO 9001 accredited Quality Management System, the structural integrity of the specified material is high grade
• A suggested life span of 25 years is expected, but not guaranteed, and is based on a number of variables: environmental, installation process, maintenance, loading and traffic conditions

Slip Resistance:

• The integral angular quartz gritted surface has been tested and certified in accordance with BS 7976-2
• It provides an exceptional level of slip resistance over its lifespan
• Lifespan depends on frequency of use

Chemical Resistance:

• Fibreglass products are resistant to a wide range of chemicals across a broad temperature spectrum
• GRP is made using a number of different resins to achieve specific chemical resistant properties
• Please refer to chemical resistance chart SOS-DST-10

Fire Resistance:

• All products contain a Fire Resistant Additive resulting in a Euro Class 1 fire rating in accordance with ISO 9239-1 and ISO 11925-2
• This performance is equivalent to ASTM E84 class 1 and BS 476 part 7 class 2 flame spread and in effect gives a 30 minute burn time on the material

Installation

Preparation:

• Before fitting check that the area is clean, dry, and free from any loose and defective material
• Any pitted or damaged areas should be locally repaired to provide a reasonably flat and even surface
• Dry-fit the stair tread cover or nosing to ensure a comfortable fit, and to ensure that they sit flat to the surface
• If any localized trimming is required, we recommend the use of a Jigsaw, preferably fitted with a tungsten carbide blade (Bosch T141 HM or similar)
• Stair tread covers can be cut to your required dimensions, with fixing points, pre-drilled and counter-sunk prior to despatch
• Exact dimensions should be supplied at time of order

To discuss your requirements please consult our Technical Department on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or send a message to [email protected]

Installation:

• Drill two holes on each side of the tread
• The first hole should be around 50mm in from the back edge, on the left hand side of the stair tread cover
• The second hole should be drilled 50mm in from the side, parallel to the yellow hazard strip
• Repeat for the right hand side of the tread
• Additional fixings can be applied if necessary at 600mm centres for larger treads

For further details please refer to the Installation Guide.

The following products/services are recommended for installation:

• Illbruck PU230 Rapid Adhesive
