Flat steel tread blanks for fabricated steps and stairs, plasma cut from 3, 4 or 5 mm mild steel, 304 or 316 stainless. They are plain rectangles, ready to weld or bolt onto your own stringers and support cleats.
Need folded nosings, chequer plate, fixing holes or a custom size? Send us a drawing.
Flat 3–5 mm plate will flex across a wide span unless it is supported, for example on angle cleats with a stiffening bar underneath. These blanks suit light-duty fabricated steps such as garden and shed steps, platform and mezzanine access steps, and workshop step-ups. We supply plates only and make no load rating. Stairs used by people must meet Building Regulations (Approved Document K), so have your design checked. Plain plate can be slippery when wet, so add anti-slip tape or coating where needed.
Made to order. We email your dispatch date. See delivery rates. Need cleats or brackets to support them? See L and T plates and gusset plates.
Which thickness should I choose?
5 mm is the stiffest and the usual choice for treads. Whatever the thickness, support the tread underneath on wider spans.
How much does an 800 × 250 tread weigh?
About 7.9 kg in 5 mm mild steel.
Are they anti-slip?
No. They are plain, mill-finish plate. Add anti-slip tape or paint for wet or outdoor use.
Are these laser cut?
No. They are plasma cut and deburred, so edges show a plasma-cut finish and are not held to laser-cut tolerances. For tight-tolerance parts, send us a drawing.
