Byggkomposit supplies GRP stairs, treads, access ladders, stepovers and ramps for industry, infrastructure, rail, energy and other technical environments.The solutions combine low self-weight with gritted walking surfaces, corrosion resistance and a low maintenance requirement. The design is governed by level difference, loading, available space, users and the safety requirements of the project.
From single stair treads to complete access structures
Our access range covers both products that improve existing walking surfaces and complete structures for safe movement between levels.
GRP stair treads and anti-slip covers suit new and existing staircases. Access ladders provide entry to roofs, shafts and technical equipment. Stepovers create safe routes over pipework, plant and other obstacles, while ramps smooth the transition between levels.
Components can be combined with GRP profiles, grating, solid panels, handrailing, landings, gates and fixings to form a solution matched to the project.
Gritted treads and walking surfaces give grip in dry and wet conditions. Slip requirements are assessed per environment.
Low self-weight
Low self-weight can simplify transport, handling and installation and reduce the need for heavy lifting equipment.
Corrosion resistant
GRP does not rust or rot and is used in environments with moisture, salt, weather exposure and many chemicals. Chemical resistance is verified against the actual medium.
Modular construction
Treads, profiles, handrailing, landings and fixings can be combined around the height, loading and layout of the project.
GRP STAIRS & TREADS
Anti-slip stair treads for new and existing staircases
Byggkomposit supplies both structural GRP stair treads for new structures and anti-slip stair tread covers for existing staircases in steel, timber or concrete.
Structural treads can be manufactured from open GRP grating or solid Dura Slab panels. They can be combined with structural Dura Profile sections, landings and Dura Handrail systems to form complete stair structures.
For existing staircases we offer slimline tread covers and contrasting stair nosings. Fitted over an existing load-bearing structure, they improve grip and visibility without replacing the whole staircase.
Load-bearing treads for new staircases, walkways, platforms and other access structures.
Stair tread covers
Slimline anti-slip covers for existing treads in steel, concrete, aluminium or timber.
Defined step edge
A contrasting nosing makes the edge of the tread easier to see and can reduce the risk of missteps.
Open or solid surface
Choose free-draining grating or a solid panel to suit the environment, users and project requirements.
GRP ACCESS LADDERS
Lightweight ladders for safe access to technical areas
GRP access ladders and service ladders are used to reach roofs, platforms, shafts, chambers and technical equipment.
The material combines low weight with resistance to corrosion, moisture and many chemicals. Its electrically non-conductive properties make GRP particularly relevant at power installations, switchgear rooms and other electrified environments.
Ladders can be configured for the height in question and completed with safety cages, walk-through access at the top, handrails, back protection, landings and project-specific fixings.
GRP does not conduct electricity, which can be an advantage around electrical installations and power plants.
Corrosion resistant
The material does not rust and suits water treatment, marine, industrial and chemically exposed sites.
Configured length
Ladder length and configuration can be adapted to the building, shaft or installation.
Added safety features
Safety cages, walk-through access, handrails, landings and other project-specific details can be added.
GRP STEPOVERS
Safe passage over pipework, plant and other obstacles
GRP stepovers create a safe route over pipe runs, bunds, conveyors, machinery and other installations that obstruct movement.
The structure is normally built from stairs, a raised landing, structural GRP profiles and handrailing. It can be configured as a straight crossing or with a turning flight where space is limited.
Each solution is sized for the height and width of the obstacle, the available space, the loading and the safety requirements of the project. Stepovers can be supplied as pre-assembled sections or as components for assembly on site.
Height, width, stair configuration and landing are matched to the installation being crossed.
Straight or turning
Choose a straight structure or a compact layout with a 180-degree change of direction.
Complete safety system
Treads, landings, handrailing, toe boards and gates can be combined to suit the project.
Pre-assembled or site built
The structure can be delivered in finished sections or as a system ready for assembly.
GRP RAMPS
Anti-slip ramps and smoother level changes
GRP ramps create smoother, safer routes between different levels. The range covers both complete access ramps and chamfered edging profiles for smaller changes in level.
The walking surface can be specified as open GRP grating for efficient drainage or as a solid panel where a continuous surface is required. Complete ramps can also include structural profiles, handrailing, edge protection and landings.
Gradient, width, walking surface and safety details should always be matched to the site conditions, the users and the requirements applicable to the project.
The sloping surface reduces abrupt level changes between walkways, platforms and adjoining floors.
Anti-slip surface
The gritted top surface provides secure grip in both dry and wet environments.
Open or solid surface
Choose free-draining grating or a continuous solid surface to suit the users.
Complete ramp solution
Walking surface, structure, handrailing, edge protection and landings can be combined into a project-specific design.
FIND THE RIGHT SOLUTION
Which access solution suits your project?
GRP stairs and treads
Suitable when the project needs:
a new load-bearing staircase
new structural stair treads
safer existing treads
clearer marking of step edges
anti-slip performance in wet or exposed areas
GRP access ladders
Suitable when the project needs:
vertical access
entry to roofs or technical equipment
access to chambers or shafts
a corrosion resistant ladder
electrically non-conductive material
GRP stepovers
Suitable when the project needs:
passage over pipework or machinery
passage over bunds or conveyors
an elevated walking route
a straight or turning stair configuration
a complete structure with handrailing and landing
GRP ramps
Suitable when the project needs:
movement between different levels
a smoother transition at a platform
passage for smaller wheeled equipment
