Slippery stairs are one of the most common causes of accidents in homes, commercial buildings, and industrial areas. In the UAE’s climate, where surfaces can become slick with moisture, sand, or oil, the risk of slipping increases even more. That’s why Shelber, a part of Shabeeb Trading in Sharjah, offers reliable anti-slip stair tread covers designed for safety, strength, and long-term use.
These stair covers are a smart upgrade for any staircase. They work by adding a tough, gritted surface that gives shoes more grip, even when conditions are less than perfect.
What Are Stair Tread Covers
Stair tread covers are pre-made safety overlays that fit directly over your existing steps. They are made from durable material known as GRP, which stands for glass-reinforced plastic. At 5mm thick, they are strong enough to handle thousands of footsteps every day.
Unlike stick-on tapes or surface coatings that wear out quickly, these covers are manufactured with the anti-slip grit mixed right into the material. This ensures the surface stays rough and slip-resistant for many years.
Designed for Heavy Use
Shelber’s stair tread covers are built for places where safety matters most. Whether you’re managing a warehouse, an office building, or a public facility, our products give each step a secure grip. These covers are suitable for:
- Factories and industrial sites
- Outdoor staircases
- Parking areas and fire exits
- Public buildings and schools
- Apartment complexes
If a staircase gets regular use, these covers help keep it safe.
Made for UAE Conditions
GRP stair covers are ideal for the local climate. They handle heat, dust, and humidity without breaking down. And they do not rust or corrode, unlike metal alternatives.
They are also lightweight, which makes them easy to carry and install. You don’t need heavy tools or welding equipment. Just cut them to fit and place them right over the step. Most jobs can be done on-site in just a few hours.
Tested for Safety
Every stair tread cover from Shelber is tested for safety and strength. The surface is certified for high slip resistance under the BS7976-2 standard. That means they grip well whether they are wet, dry, oily, or dusty.
They are also fire-resistant under EN ISO 9239-1 standards. That makes them a good choice for emergency exits and public stairways.
Lightweight and Non-Conductive
Another benefit of GRP is that it’s safe to use around electrical equipment. It doesn’t conduct electricity and can even be made with special features for static-sensitive areas.
And because GRP weighs less than steel, it’s easier and safer to install. Workers face less risk of strain or injury while lifting and cutting the material.
Eco-Friendly Approach
Shelber is proud to use resin made from recycled plastic bottles in every stair tread cover. Each drum of resin keeps over 1800 bottles out of the landfill and ocean. So when you improve safety, you also support sustainability.
