Stair Treads Bar Grating

Welded steel stair treads are the most widely used for their strength and ease of installation and are universally used in most industrial and commercial applications. Riveted steel stair treads have a greater load carrying capacity for the same span and depth of bearing bar and greater walking comfort. Both can be ordered with a serrated surface for additional safety.

Aluminum stair treads, due to their light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, rust proof and non-sparking properties, are ideally suited for corrosive environments, food preparation and storage areas, and volatile areas. Swage-locked I-Bar stair treads offer you a high strength at less weight and lower cost. Rectangular bar, press-locked or swage-locked, stair treads provide a higher strength and stiffness-to-weight ratio and are available with a serrated surface when additional safety is required.

All stair treads are custom fabricated to meet the size, width and length specifications of a particular job. In addition, standard end plates can be custom fabricated to meet special bolt hole size or location requirements.

Both Steel and aluminum nosings are available to add strength at the point of greatest impact and provide a definitive visible edge for extra safety. Choose our checkered plate nosing for normal use. For additional safety, choose our cast iron or abrasive nosings.
