We installed these fiberglass step covers on all the exterior metal stairs at our water treatment plant. The old painted steps were slippery every time it rained. Now our operators walk confidently in any weather. The FRP material hasn’t corroded at all despite constant exposure to chemical splash. Installation was straightforward — just stainless screws into the existing metal treads.

Product Overview
This 9" x 24" fiberglass-reinforced polymer (FRP) step cover by Sure-Foot Industries provides full-tread anti-slip protection on stairways up to 24 inches wide. The 9-inch depth covers the walking surface of the stair plus the nosing edge for comprehensive slip prevention. Coarse silicon carbide grit surface delivers maximum traction in wet, oily, or dusty conditions. Dimensions: 9" depth x 24" length with 1" nosing overhang. High-visibility yellow/black color scheme for enhanced safety marking. Constructed from non-conductive, corrosion-proof fiberglass that resists chemicals, moisture, and UV degradation. Rated for indoor and outdoor installation. Compliant with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.25 slip-resistant stairway tread requirements. Approximate weight: 3 lbs. Manufactured by Sure-Foot Industries in Ohio. Sold by AbsorbentsOnline.com, a trusted safety products supplier since 1985. FREE shipping available.

Expert Insights
The 9-inch depth fiberglass step cover provides substantially more slip-resistant surface area than the 3-inch nosing-only models. This design covers both the nosing edge and a significant portion of the stair tread walking surface, delivering comprehensive protection. Fiberglass is completely non-conductive, making these step covers ideal for electrical rooms, chemical processing areas, and water treatment facilities where metal treads pose a conductivity hazard. The coarse grit on this 9" x 24" model provides the most aggressive traction available, recommended for outdoor stairs, loading docks, and wet environments. The yellow/black color scheme provides high-contrast visibility for stair edge identification per safety best practices. For even fuller tread coverage, the 11.75" depth models cover nearly the entire stair tread. Installation can be done with industrial epoxy adhesive for permanent bonding or mechanical fasteners. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.25 requires all stairway treads to have slip-resistant surfaces. These silicon carbide grit step covers exceed OSHA coefficient of friction requirements.
Anti-Slip Stair Treads & Tape in Action
Chemical plants, water treatment facilities, offshore platforms, and food processing plants install fiberglass step covers on metal and concrete stairs where corrosion and chemical exposure destroy traditional treads. The non-conductive FRP material is specified in electrical substations and panel rooms where metal treads create electrocution risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
9"x 24" Fiberglass Step Cover - 9"Depth x 24"Length - 1" nosing
Can these be cut to custom sizes?
Yes, fiberglass step covers can be cut with a carbide-tipped saw. Always wear proper PPE including eye protection and a dust mask when cutting fiberglass.
Indoor or outdoor use?
Both. These fiberglass step covers are UV-resistant and weather-rated for outdoor installation, and equally effective indoors. The fiberglass construction will not rust or corrode in any environment.
What is the difference between a 3-inch nosing and a 9-inch step cover?
The 3-inch model covers only the nosing edge of the stair. The 9-inch step cover extends across most of the walking surface, providing significantly more anti-slip coverage for each step.
How do I install step covers?
Two methods: adhesive bonding (epoxy recommended for permanent installation) or mechanical fastening with screws. Surface must be clean, dry, and free of debris for adhesive. Pre-drill fiberglass to prevent cracking when using screws.
Do these meet OSHA requirements?
Yes. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.25 requires slip-resistant surfaces on stairway treads. These silicon carbide grit step covers exceed OSHA coefficient of friction requirements for safe stairway access.
What Our Customers Say
Real reviews from the facilities, field crews, and agencies that count on us.

-
Replaced the worn-out rubber treads on our factory mezzanine stairs with these fiberglass covers. The coarse grit surface provides incredible traction even when oil gets tracked onto the steps. The non-conductive material was a must for our electrical panel room stairs. Our safety team gave them a thumbs up at the quarterly inspection.
-
We order anti-slip products from AbsorbentsOnline for all 12 of our facilities nationwide. Their pricing is consistently 30-40% below what we were paying our old distributor, and they carry everything — tape rolls, die-cut treads, fiberglass covers, and aluminum nosings all from one source. The free shipping on every order adds up to thousands in annual savings. When we call, we get a real person who knows the product line. That kind of service is hard to find today.
