Online small business lender renovates office with SLIPNOT stair treads

The USA’s largest online small business lender was looking for a way to create an aesthetically pleasing yet safe grand staircase in an office renovation project. A slip resistant solution for the stairs was a necessity to guarantee the safety of employees and visitors to the office. For this reason, SLIPNOT was contacted to provide stair treads.

After reviewing specifications, SLIPNOT provided (21) various sized pieces of steel plate to be used as stair treads and a landing. The steel was coated in Grade 1 steel and painted black. The Grade 1 coating provides a high coefficient of friction while maintaining a minimum surface roughness, which is preferred over the more course coatings often used in industrial and high traffic settings. Applied properly, the black paint does not compromise the slip resistant properties of the surface. This means it is a perfect solution to make the stair treads more aesthetically pleasing than a standard mill finish.

By installing SLIPNOT stair treads, the lender proactively avoided slip and fall hazards by purposefully including safety into its centerpiece design. The stair treads fit into the overall design of the office, making for a cohesive aesthetic.
