RISERS & STRINGERS

Vinyl Treads

Flexco vinyl stair treads, risers and

stringers are specifically designed for use

on all interior stairs, including pan-filled

concrete and wood substrates. Vinyl

Stair treads are extruded and molded

from a high-grade vinyl compound that is

solid, homogeneous and durable.

Flexco offers a variety of options within

the vinyl stair tread product line, including

treads with abrasive, smooth or ribbed

inserts in several standard colors.

Our vinyl stair treads are both affordable

and durable, without compromising

the good looks and quality you come

to expect. Flexco vinyl stair treads are

also non-conductive and resist scuffing,

gouging and most chemicals and

common substances.

dormitories, sports complexes, airport

terminals, shopping malls and any other

public or private building.

Stringer substrates must be smooth, flat, flush, full and complete for the entire stairwell, in order to provide completed and adequate support for the stringer material. Ensure any minor gaps between steps and stringer substrate are free of any dirt, dust and debris.

T E C H N I C A L D ATA S H E E T To aid in scribing and trimming the back edge of stair treads, a spacer (such as a carpenters level, 1" x 2" wood or equivalent) is required to set the depth of the tread. Prior to cutting the back edge of the stair tread, measure the depth of the step and the thickness of the spacer. Rough cut stair tread to be at least 1/4" deeper than the step but no deeper than the width of the spacer.

When installing adhesive on steps, be sure to leave a 1/2" - 3/4" space on either side of step nose to accommodate the Excelsior EN-610 Epoxy Nose Filler Adhesive and avoid adhesive cross-contamination. Prior to installing the stair tread into adhesive, apply a 1/4" - 1/2" bead of the EN-610 to the interior nose of the stair tread.
