Custom Aluminium Stair Tread Extrusion
Overview of Aluminium Stair Tread Extrusions
Aluminium stair tread extrusions are a vital component in the fabrication of durable and non-slip staircases. At HTS Aluminium, we specialize in producing custom aluminium profiles that offer superior strength, safety, and aesthetic appeal. Our stair tread extrusions are designed to outperform traditional materials, providing a lightweight yet robust solution for both indoor and outdoor staircases.
Our aluminium stair tread profiles boast several advantages over conventional materials. Aluminium naturally resists corrosion, making it ideal for environments exposed to weather or corrosive substances. The non-slip surface of our extrusions ensures safety, crucial for stair applications. Additionally, the ease of installation and low maintenance requirements make our aluminium stair treads a cost-effective choice for builders and architects.
Applications of Aluminium Stair Tread Extrusions
Our custom extruded aluminium stair treads are versatile and can be used in various settings, including commercial buildings, residential homes, industrial facilities, and public spaces. Their adaptability and strength make them suitable for both light and heavy-duty applications.
Custom Aluminium Stair Tread Extrusion
We take pride in our ability to tailor aluminium stair tread extrusions to the specific needs of our clients. Whether you require a particular alloy composition, heat treatment, or surface finish, our team at HTS Aluminium is equipped to deliver high-quality, customized solutions. With an approximate mold creation time of 7 days and production lead times ranging from 10 to 20 days for a 26-ton order, we ensure that your custom extrusions are delivered on time. We emphasize that the aluminium we use is of the highest purity, fully conforming to industry standards.
Alloy Selection
For our aluminium stair treads, popular alloy choices include 6061 and 6063 series. The 6061 alloy is known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and is commonly used in applications where toughness is essential. On the other hand, the 6063 alloy is preferred for its good extrudability and smooth surface finish, making it ideal for architectural applications.
| Alloys | Si | Fe | Cu | Mn | Mg | Cr | Zn | Ti |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6061 | 0.4-0.8% | 0.70% | 0.15-0.40% | 0.15% | 0.8-1.2% | 0.04-0.35% | 0.15% | 0.25% |
| 6063 | 0.20-0.60% | 0.35% | 0.10% | 0.10% | 0.45-0.90% | 0.10% | 0.10% | 0.10% |
Heat Treatment
T5 and T6 heat treatments are the most common for stair tread extrusions. The T5 process involves cooling the extruded aluminium from an elevated temperature and then artificially aging it. The T6 treatment, which includes solution heat treatment followed by artificial aging, results in a material that exhibits increased hardness and strength.
Surface Treatment
Anodizing and Electrophoresis are two surface treatment processes that significantly enhance the durability and aesthetic appeal of aluminum stair treads. By undergoing anodizing, the stair treads benefit from an enhanced natural oxide layer that not only heightens corrosion resistance but also boosts surface hardness, allowing them to endure heavy foot traffic while preserving their visual quality. Although less frequently utilized for stair treads, electrophoresis offers a uniformly deposited protective layer with excellent adhesion, making it a suitable option for indoor environments where an added decorative touch is sought. Both treatments ensure that the aluminum stair treads are well-equipped to maintain their functionality and appearance over time.

Material for Extruded Aluminum
Quality begins with the raw materials, and at HTS Aluminium, we use only the highest standard aluminium alloys for our extrusions. Our profiles are commonly crafted from a selection of industry-standard grades, each offering a balance of strength, durability, and corrosion resistance to meet various application requirements.
6061: This is a precipitation-hardened aluminum alloy known for its excellent mechanical properties. It contains magnesium and silicon as its primary alloying elements, making it suitable for high-stress applications.
6063: Known for its good extrudability and surface finish, this alloy is often used in architectural and structural applications. It primarily contains silicon and magnesium as alloying elements, offering good corrosion resistance.
6005: This alloy is frequently used in structural applications due to its strength and weldability. It has a composition similar to 6061 but is specifically designed for better extrudability.
6082: Known for its medium strength and excellent corrosion resistance, this alloy is often employed in highly stressed applications. It features a high percentage of magnesium and silicon, contributing to its strength and workability.
Heat Treatment Options
Our aluminium profiles can undergo a range of heat treatment options to enhance their properties. From T5 to T6 treatments, we tailor the process to achieve the desired level of hardness, strength, and elasticity. Each treatment option is designed to bring out the best in the material, ensuring that the final product stands up to the demands of its application.
T5 Heat Treatment
Process: Cooled from an elevated temperature shaping process and then artificially aged.
Characteristics: Increases the strength of the aluminum by accelerating the aging process, resulting in a material that has moderate strength and good formability.
T6 Heat Treatment
Process: Solution heat-treated and then artificially aged.
Characteristics: Provides a significant increase in strength compared to T5 by altering the microstructure of the aluminum. This results in a high-strength material with good machinability and fair formability.
Aluminum Profile Surface Treatment
To ensure the longevity and aesthetic appeal of our telescopic aluminum profiles, we offer a range of surface treatments including:
Anodizing forms a hard, protective oxide layer on the surface of tubular aluminum, increasing resistance to corrosion. This process allows for a variety of color options—like silver, black, champagne, and gold—creating a smooth and decorative finish. Film thickness typically ranges from 8 to 15μm, and can go up to 20μm for extra protection.
Powder coating involves spraying dry powders onto tubular aluminum and curing them at high temperatures. This produces a thick, tough layer in a wide range of vibrant colors, providing excellent protection against wear, impacts, and UV exposure. Coatings are usually 60–120μm thick.
Wood grain finishes give tubular aluminum a natural wood appearance through a special heat transfer or sublimation process. This creates a realistic wood look combined with the strength and low maintenance of aluminum. A base powder coating is applied first (typically 60–80μm thick), with the wood pattern embedded into this layer for lasting results.
