Product Description

Installation

  1. DURATREAD­™ covers should be installed on a clean, level surface. Use grout or other suitable material to level uneven surfaces prior to installation.
  2. Sand the bottom surface of the stair tread cover if bonding tread covers to stairs. Two-part epoxy is recommended.
  3. Use wood screws to thru-bolt covers to wood stairs. Use expansion anchors, sleeve anchors or concrete screws to fasten covers to concrete stairs. If fastening covers to steel or fiberglass stair treads, use a plate washer with a truss head bolt and nut. All fasteners should be 316 stainless steel.
  4. When installing DURATREAD­™ covers over grating treads, field drill holes so that fasteners will not interfere with grating bars.
