Product Overview
Skywind Composites Gritted FRP Stair Treads are engineered fiberglass reinforced polymer stair treads designed for industrial stairs, access platforms, maintenance walkways and other applications where reliable slip resistance, corrosion resistance and long-term service performance are required.
The gritted surface provides high traction for demanding walking environments, while the FRP structure offers a lightweight, corrosion-resistant alternative to conventional metal stair treads.
Why Choose Gritted FRP Stair Treads?
Industrial stairs are frequently exposed to water, chemicals, oil, mud, salt spray, outdoor weather and heavy foot traffic. Conventional steel stairs require ongoing maintenance and corrosion protection in these environments.
High-Traction Gritted Surface
The abrasive surface provides secure footing in wet and demanding industrial environments, with customizable grit types, coverage, and aggressiveness.
Corrosion Resistance
FRP does not rust like carbon steel. With the appropriate resin system, stair treads withstand moisture, chemicals, wastewater, and salt spray.
Lightweight Construction
FRP stair treads are significantly lighter than metal alternatives, simplifying transportation, fabrication, and on-site installation.
Non-Conductive Material
FRP is electrically non-conductive, supporting worker safety and electrical insulation requirements.

Applications
Skywind Composites gritted FRP stair treads are engineered for demanding industrial and commercial access systems:
Chemical Processing Plants: Installed around processing equipment, tanks, and containment areas exposed to corrosive chemical vapors and splashes.
Wastewater Treatment Plants: Deployed on access stairs around clarifiers, pump stations, and filtration systems facing constant moisture and chemical dosing.
Marine and Offshore Facilities: Used on coastal platforms, rigs, and marine walkways where salt spray accelerates metal degradation.
Oil and Gas Facilities: Applied on industrial access stairs and maintenance platforms requiring reliable slip resistance and chemical durability.
Proven Field Experience
Chemical Plants: Replaced failing carbon steel treads in chlor-alkali and fertilizer facilities, extending service life in vapor-corrosive environments.
Wastewater Treatment: Supplied custom slip-resistant treads for municipal sewage clarifier stairs exposed to constant moisture and chemical dosing.
Marine & Offshore: Deployed salt-spray-resistant FRP profiles for coastal rig maintenance walkways, eliminating coating maintenance overhead.
Installation Guidelines
Verify Dimensions
Confirm tread width, depth, and support spacing prior to installation.
Position Tread
Place the tread on the supporting structure and check alignment.
Prepare Supports
Drill or prepare mounting points according to the selected fastener system.
Secure Fasteners
Install mechanical fasteners and tighten to project specifications.
Final Inspection
Verify alignment, fastening security, and overall stability before use.
Quality Control
Reliable FRP stair treads begin with strict material control and rigorous production checks:
Raw Material Verification
Fiberglass and resin batches are inspected to meet manufacturing standards.
Process Monitoring
Molding and pultrusion parameters are tightly controlled for structural consistency.
Surface & Dimensional Inspection
Finished treads are checked for uniform grit coverage, exact dimensions, and correct nosing alignment prior to packaging.
