Glow-in-the-Dark—Glow-in-the-dark tape recharges with exposure to light; it provides up to six hours of illumination in total darkness.

Yellow—Yellow treads stand out in busy areas.

Glow-in-the-Dark Green—Glow-in-the-dark green treads are visible in low light and during power outages.

Steel—Steel treads have a galvanized finish, so they hold up to both indoor and outdoor use. However, the grit coating is sprayed onto the steel, so it will eventually wear off. Weld these treads in place. Cut them to length with a hand grinder or miter saw using a masonry blade.

Fiberglass—Fiberglass treads resist corrosion better than steel treads—they hold up to chemicals and saltwater. They’re also more durable because the grit coating is fused to the fiberglass. Cut them to length with a diamond-tipped masonry blade. Attach these treads to your rungs using structural adhesive (sold separately).
