Helpful answers to frequently asked about topics
Using stair treads outside:
Most rubber and vinyl stair treads are not designed to hold up for outdoor use. UV rays, temperature fluctuation, acid rain, air pollutants can all have a negative effect on stair treads. We offer both an aluminum stair tread with grit surface and recycled rubber stair tread, made from recycled truck and bus tires, for high and low budget outdoor stair projects.
Heavy Duty corner guards:
For heavy duty jobs, not just any old corner guard will work. If you are protecting your walls from such damage as drivers misjudging where the wall is in a drive-thru, toe motors wildly driving about a warehouse, or even your boat drifting into the dock, just slapping on a simple vinyl corner guard won't do the trick. You'll need to upgrade/invest in a rubber corner guard/wall guard system to absorb the impacts, minimizing damage and saving you not only the cost of repairs, but the time you would have spent doing those repairs.
Should you really use an epoxy nose filler when installing stair treads:
Short answer: YES!
Long answer: On stair treads, the part that takes the most punishment is also the most fragile part of a stair tread; the nose. As people step on a stair tread, there is some "flex and wiggle", which will over time cause the nose to crack and become unsafe. The more "flex and wiggle" allowed, the sooner the tread will crack. The #110 Epoxy Nose Caulking is the absolute best solution to this problem. As the caulking dries, it expands ever so slightly. Running a small bead along the elbow of the nose will fill out any unseen warping to your steps, providing a solid surface to walk on. Is it needed? No, I suppose not, if you want to shave off 50%+ of your treads life.
