Schluter TREP GK/GLK Stair Nosing Profile

Description

The Schluter TREP GK/GLK Stair Nosing Profiles are versions of the Schluter TREP G/GL Stair Nosing Profiles without anchoring legs, for retro-fitting to existing steps.

The Schluter TREP GK/GLK Stair Nosing Profiles are made of brushed stainless steel with an adhered anti-slip tread, designed for retro-fitting to stairs with tiled or natural stone coverings for safe and visually appealing edge protection. They can also be installed over damaged edges, eliminating the need to replace the entire step.

They are available in two widths, 59mm or 34mm. Each width is available in lengths of 2.5, 1.5 or 1 metres.

The Schluter TREP GK/GLK Stair Nosing Profiles feature two different anti-slip treads respectively with different slip resistance classes:

• The Schluter TREP GK Profile has an anti-slip tread with a slip resistance class of R11. This tread consists of a pre-adhered, self-adhesive tape with an embedded mineral grit and is available in either black (GS) or transparent (T). This slip class is particularly suitable for applications in areas with heavy foot traffic e.g. business premises or in public buildings.
• The Schluter TREP GLK Profile has an anti-slip tread with a slip resistance class of R10. This tread consists of a pre-adhered, self-adhesive tape with a profiled plastic insert and is available in either black (GS) or transparent (T). This slip class is suitable for residential settings or areas with low foot traffic.

These respective tapes are also available separately, so that the treads on the Schluter TREP GK/GLK Profiles can be subsequently replaced in case of damage or wear – Schluter TREP G Replacement Tread Tape. The non-slip treads are adhered to an indentation in the support profile to ensure that the edges of the adhesive tape are reliably protected.

The Schluter TREP GK/GLK Stair Nosing Profiles are made from brushed stainless steel V2A (EB).

The suitability of the selected profile type must be verified based on the anticipated chemical, mechanical, and/or other stresses. The profiles are particularly well suited for applications that involve heavy mechanical stresses and depending on their type, require resistance to chemicals such as acidic or alkaline substances or detergents. The profiles are designed for internal and external areas. However, please note that the transparent tread option only has limited UV resistance and is intended for indoor use only.

Schluter TREP GK/GLK Installation:

1. Clean the stair nosings and repair damaged areas if applicable.
2. Clean or degrease the underside of the profile.
3. Adhere the profile by fully embedding it into a suitable adhesive (e.g. epoxy resin or Schluter KERDI FIX Adhesive, depending on the substrate). Note: The upper profile edge is approx. 1.5 mm higher than the stair covering.
