Next-generation stair treads and landings are manufactured using an optimized design. They are made exclusively from expanded metal mesh, which is formed and reinforced with support crossbars. The side plates have holes and slots for easy tread attachment.
The expanded metal treads are certified for the mechanical load-bearing characteristics required for their specific application. They also possess a number of technical properties that guarantee maximum walking safety.
ANTI-SLIP – Expanded metal grates with slip resistance ratings of R12 or R13, as defined by DIN 51130, are used to prevent slips and falls.
ANTI-HEEL SLIP – The mesh openings of these expanded metal grates are designed to prevent thin shoe heels from becoming caught, ensuring balance and preventing falls. This also prevents entanglement of umbrellas, ski poles, and other pointed objects.
ANTI-ICE – In mountainous or cold environments where snow and ice can form, the openings in these expanded metal mesh grates promote drainage and reduce ice buildup.
ANTI-PANIC – The design of the expanded metal mesh openings reduces the feeling of vertigo by limiting the view of the open space below.
