Why StepClad stands out
A better surface, right over the old one.
Engineered for durability, water resistance, and style, StepClad restores your steps for decades, not just seasons. Nimble Design Studio makes it in Ductal UHPC, and our masons fit it right over the steps you already have.
Integrated tread and riser
One piece covers the top and the riser of each step for a seamless look. It goes right over your existing concrete, and we cut the pieces on site to fit.
Anti-slip tactile strips
A dark, contrasting tactile strip is built into every tread at the nosing, on a slip-resistant surface, for added safety on every step.
Overhangs with drip edges
Each tread overhangs with a drip edge to direct water away, finished with a clean 2-inch profile.
Built with UHPC
10x stronger than regular concrete. Ductal UHPC is waterproof and non-corrosive, made for steps that live outdoors.
Colour all the way through
StepClad’s colour is integral: it runs right through the material. It isn’t paint or a coating sitting on top.
Residential & Commercial
Front entries, back stairs and landings at home, and steps at commercial buildings too.
Not a coating
StepClad replaces the surface. It doesn’t just cover it.
Forget paint. Choose performance.
- Painting hides cracks, but does nothing to strengthen your steps.
- Paint peels, fades, and demands constant touch-ups.
- With StepClad, your steps stay beautiful and protected, no maintenance required.
Say goodbye to temporary fixes.
- Thin coatings crack and flake over time.
- Debris becomes a tripping hazard and gets tracked indoors.
- StepClad replaces the surface. It doesn’t just cover it.
StepClad colours

Standard Tread
Sizes are length × depth (× riser height for treads). Pieces are cut on site to fit, so finished sizes vary.

Joints per step
Landings always have joints, with the field tiles starting behind a top tread. Treads can sometimes be one piece, but the size of your steps decides that, so we can't promise joint-free steps.

StepClad questions
Straight answers.
Yes. StepClad is a cladding system that goes over your existing concrete steps, so there’s no tearing out the old stairs. We measure your steps and cut pieces on site to fit.
StepClad has a slip-resistant surface, a contrasting tactile strip and 2″ profile at the nosing so each step edge is easy to see.
Painting hides cracks, but does nothing to strengthen your steps, and paint peels, fades and demands constant touch-ups. Thin coatings crack and flake over time. StepClad replaces the surface instead of just covering it, so your steps stay beautiful and protected, with no maintenance required.
StepClad’s colour is integral: it runs all the way through the material rather than sitting on top as paint or a coating. So there’s no painted layer to chip or peel.
