Flexco Distinct Designs rubber stair

treads, risers and stringers are specifically

designed for use on all interior stairs,

compound that is solid, homogeneous

and durable.

Flexco offers a variety of options within

the Distinct Designs product line,

including treads with abrasive, smooth or

ribbed inserts in a multitude of standard

May be susceptible to staining from harsh disinfectants, cleaning agents, dyes or other harsh chemicals – ensure all chemicals and materials that may come in contact with stair treads, risers or stringers will not stain, mar or otherwise damage the material prior to use. 3. SUBSTRATE PREPARATION All substrates must be prepared according to ASTM F710, as well as applicable ACI and RFCI guidelines.

Distinct Designs T E C H N I C A L D ATA S H E E T not install stair treads, risers or stringers directly over solid or engineered hardwood flooring without first installing plywood or a suitable cementitious repair product at a minimum thickness of 1/4" over the hardwood flooring. Wood substrate deflection, movement, or instability may cause stair tread installations to release, buckle or become distorted. As such, do not use plastic or resin filler to patch cracks.

Apply adhesive according to instructions for specific product in use. Be sure to follow instructions based on substrate porosity (porous or non-porous). Replace trowels and/or applicators at recommended intervals to maintain proper trowel ridge and spread rate.

Ensure that riser fits the step snugly against stringers and stair tread below without over-compressing riser material. Avoid over-compressing toe to avoid premature wear and damage. The seam between the leading edge of the stair tread and the stair riser should be treated using one of the following methods.

Remove any protective coverings prior to cleaning. Sweep, dust mop and/or vacuum stair tread to remove any dirt, dust or debris. Mix 2-4 ounces of Excelsior All Purpose Cleaner per gallon of clean, potable water. Use a clean mop to apply cleaning solution to floor and let stand for 5-10 minutes.
