700 Series

An Extra Measure of Performance

700 SeriesThe Series 700 was originally developed to withstand the high traffic experienced by stairways in mass transit facilities. In these conditions of extreme volume and severe impact, Series 700 treads exhibit remarkable durability. They resist cracking and peeling while maintaining a safe, non-slip surface for years.

The walking area consists of a special non-slip formulation, bonded to a heavy duty aluminum base. Because it is non-porous, this surface resists dirt, liquids and common contaminant's. It can be maintained with routine cleaning procedures.

A variety of designs and colors are available to match your specific requirements.
