Product catalog summary
Description and Uses
The Safety FRP Range offers a variety of durable, slip-resistant surfaces suitable for steps, ramps, floors, decking, and vehicles. These surfaces are made from a fibreglass base with a resin-bonded surface, providing excellent slip resistance even when wet. They are oil and chemical resistant, will not rot or warp, and are available in standard sizes for easy installation using glue or screws. Ideal for both indoor and outdoor use, especially on wet or weak substrates.
Companion Products
Includes Mastic Adhesive (J580086) and Caulk Gun (J510021) from Rust-Oleum Industrial Flooring.
Surface Preparation
Minimal preparation is needed; the substrate should be clean and dry. Mastic Adhesive can accommodate minor surface imperfections.
Instructions for Use
Mastic Adhesive is recommended for minor substrate deviations and to prevent movement. For damp, dirty, or friable surfaces, or in cold weather, use screws in addition to adhesive. Drilling through FRP is straightforward, and countersinking is unnecessary.
Trimming and Attachment
Use a jigsaw or hacksaw for trimming. Different screws and anchors are recommended based on the substrate material (timber, steel, concrete, open mesh).
Fitting and Drilling
Ensure proper fit before trimming. Drill through FRP and substrate, using rawl plugs for concrete. Specific drilling instructions are provided for step covers, landing covers, safety edges, and decking strips.
Mastic Adhesive Application
Apply adhesive around the periphery and in horizontal stripes on the FRP panel. A good bond is typically achieved within 2-4 hours. One tube of adhesive is sufficient for various FRP products.
Safety
Use gloves, dust masks, and goggles when handling and cutting FRP. Safety data sheets are available for adhesives.

Fiberglass Step Covers (FRP)-2

SURFACE PREPARATION Very little preparation of the substrate is required. It should be reasonably clean and dry if only the Mastic Adhesive is used. Badly dished or holed concrete etc should ideally be filled. Mastic Adhesive will take up minor undulations and imperfections. Drill two holes at each end of the Step Cover, one approximately 5/8" in from the back edge and 1/2" in from the side. The second hole should be approximately 1/2" in from the side and on the line where the black tread meets the yellow or white nosing. It is unlikely that the Step Covers will require additional fixings in...
