Diamond plate stair treads (left) vs. SlipNOT® non slip stair treads (right)

SlipNOT® slip resistant stair treads are an advanced safety alternative to traditional diamond plate stair treads. SlipNOT® non-slip stair treads can be retrofitted on top of dangerous diamond plate treads, keeping both workers and pedestrians safe. Traditional diamond plate stair treads without the SlipNOT® slip resistant surface can create slippery stairways that lead to injuries and accidents. SlipNOT® stainless steel stair treads are NSF registered for use in the food processing industry. Diamond plate stair treads have been replaced by SlipNOT® stair treads in companies such as Campbell Soup, Ford, Mittal and Caterpillar among others.

SlipNOT® slip resistant stair treads are available in grating, plate, perforated plate and expanded metal. Stair treads are formed to specifications with risers and nosings or can be formed to a channel. SlipNOT® non-slip tread covers are easily retrofitted over existing grating or unsafe diamond checker plate assemblies. They can be welded directly to current treads or stringers or can be bolted in place. Holes can be provided pre-drilled or drilled and countersunk in the field without harming the SlipNOT® surface. For retrofitting over concrete steps, treads are routinely mounted into masonry anchors.

SlipNOT® Non-Slip Stair Treads in NY Fire Department

Raised diamond plate stair treads wear unevenly, creating an unsafe, slippery, work environment. SlipNOT® stair treads and covers are a permanent safety solution when it comes to reducing slip and fall accidents. SlipNOT® stair treads and covers are known for their durability and skid resistance because they do not wear uneven over time.

ASTM C1028 measures the static coefficient of friction of ceramic tile and other surfaces under both wet and dry environments; our SlipNOT® galvanized grade 2 steel and aluminum stair treads rated higher than diamond plate treads in both conditions. In dry environments, our SlipNOT® galvanized grade 2 steel and aluminum were rated 1.09 and 0.98 respectively, while diamond plate treads were given a rating of only 0.63. Under wet conditions, our SlipNOT® galvanized grade 2 steel was rated 0.99 and again diamond plate treads fell short at a 0.63. Diamond plate stair treads not only rate behind SlipNOT® galvanized grade 2 steel and aluminum stair treads, diamond plate treads do not even meet The ADA recommendation for inclined surfaces which requires at least a 0.80 value.
