General description:

Our multitread Composite Anti-Slip Dovetail Profile Insert Strip allows your business to place safety at the height of importance. Designed to suit the needs of various buildings, they sit cleanly on step edges to increase friction and reduce the risk of slipping, as well as providing a visual contrast compared to the surrounding surface. These hardwearing inserts work alongside the other safety solutions you have in place, seamlessly integrating with the aesthetics of a building. Suitable for use in offices and educational facilities through to sports centres, museums and more.

Cut with a dovetail profile, these strips are ideal for setting in concrete stairs at the casting stage, as once set the dovetail profile creates a mechanical fix meaning it can not pop out. These integrated stair anti-slip strips visually define the edge of a step. They are suitable for use both internally and externally, and provide anti-slip as well as visual contrast to the steps edge.

Each one has a grit-free composite rubber construction, that is both easy to clean and offers high friction on every step, and wont shed any grit making them suitable for areas with more delicate surrounding floor surfaces. They are also heavy duty and suitable for use in a variety of areas including those with a heavy footfall.

These multitread Composite Anti-Slip Dovetail Profile Insert Strips are available to order in both 6mm and 8mm thicknesses. Choose from a range of colours including black, white, yellow, grey and brown as well as widths between 12mm and 60mm available online and up to 295mm on request. Please note that the width of the Dovetail inserts is measured from the widest face of the strip, 6mm thick strips are approximately 2mm smaller on the top of the dovetail and 8mm strips approximately 3mm smaller.

Installation:

Our Multitread composite insert strips can be installed into pre-cast channels, the surface can have a channel routed out of it in order for the insert to be installed, or the dovetail section can be cast in situ into concrete and terrazzo. If applying into a channel we recommend fixing with an external grade cartridge adhesive. Always ensure the adhesive has fully cured before submitting to any foot traffic.

Application into a channel with adhesive:

  1. the surface and groove the the strip is being installed into must be clean, dry and free from and loose particles and contaminants.
  2. Apply adhesive to the underside of the multitread strips in 5mm wide beads. For profiles up to 60mm apply a bead of adhesive to each edge of the strip and apply more where needed.
  3. Place the multitread insert into the channel, and apply pressure to ensure a full adhesive transfer and remove any trapped air.

Casting the strips in Situ:

  1. Apply a double sided tape on the narrow side (top) of the insert.
  2. Use the double sided tape to fix the insert to the bottom of your mould in the desired position.
  3. Once the stairs have cured remove from the mould and then remove the double sided tape from the strips surface.
