It’s an organic material trying to survive in a harsh environment. Beyond the structural frustration, wood naturally breeds the slick green \"bio-film\" (algae and moss) that turns stairs into a dangerous slip hazard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eWe engineered the \u003cstrong\u003eSTEADY-STEP\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"62\" data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e®\u003c\/b\u003e Grit-Surface Stair Tread\u003c\/strong\u003e to break that cycle. The marine-grade aluminum chassis is impervious to rot and unaffected by drying cycles, meaning it stays straight and true forever. Our industrial \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"230\" data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eGrit-Surface\u003c\/b\u003e provides superior mechanical traction to mitigate slip risks in wet weather. And unlike wood that must be torn out when it fails, our system is serviceable: if the grit surface eventually wears down after years of heavy use, you simply replace the tape, not the step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eBuild it once.

Direct contact between aluminum and steel can lead to galvanic corrosion in wet environments. A simple neoprene pad, nylon washer or corrosion protection tape at the mounting point is all it takes to stop the reaction and keep your installation solid for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steady-Step","offers":[{"title":"36 inches x 2 inches x 11 inches \/ Black","offer_id":44233018802291,"sku":"STGS36211-B","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"36 inches x 2 inches x 11 inches \/ Yellow","offer_id":44233018835059,"sku":null,"price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"36 inches x 2 inches x 11 inches \/ Black\/Yellow","offer_id":44233018867827,"sku":null,"price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9854\/5267\/files\/steady-step-aluminum-tread-grit-surface-black-iso-view-with-boot-11-inch.jpg?v=1768704360","url":"https:\/\/www.clearwaysupply.com\/products\/steady-step-grit-surface-stair-tread-heavy-duty-aluminum","provider":"Clearway Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
