Case Studies of Anti-Slip Stair Treads and Noses
Case Study #1
MV Hebridean Isles
Smyth Composites were contacted by a crew member of MV Hebridean Isles who was responsible for a project to replace the old worn stair treads throughout the ship.He’d previously contacted several other companies but wasn’t impressed with the quality of their product or the prices offered!
After recieving samples of our Standard and Premier Stair Treads, and on hearing our very competitive prices, he decided to order enough Premier Treads to complete 2 stairways on a trial basis. After a successful installation and trial period enough treads were ordered to complete a futher 6 stairways.
Smyth Composites are delighted to have supplied these anti-slip stair treads to MV Hebridean Isles and look forward to supplying her sister ships and those of other companies going forward.

Case Study #2
Offshore Installations
In order to meet the high standards of Health & Safety required for offshore installations operators are increasingly making use of GRP Anti-Slip products. Be it flat sheet for gangways, or for steps, stair treads with contrasting coloured noses – both offer excellent anti-slip properties. These are normally supplied with a medium grit finish but for areas where oil spills are likely coarse grit is utilised.

Like many companies DHL have identified an issue with steel fire escapes and that is they can become very slippery when wet.
This new fire escape at a DHL distribution centre in The Netherlands was fitted with Smyth Composites Anti Slip Stair Treads to lessen the risk of people slipping when rushing out of the building and down the fire escape in the event of a fire.
