Asbra Product Accessories
For Cleaning & Maintenance, Levelling & Bedding, Fixing & Cutting
Cleaning and Maintenance
Gold-Chem will not effect the bond between the treads and the step or substrate, or break down the Suregrip or Supagrit mineral inserts which can be the case with some harsh commercial cleaners.
Latham recommend that all treads be at least mechanically fixed, and where possible also be adhesive fixed, see details below. From time to time or when vibration becomes apparent the fixings should be checked and tightened as required.
Levelling & Bedding Adhesives for Stair Tread & Mall Bars
Titazel Thixotropic Epoxy Resin Adhesive
Internal/external application Titazel Thixotropic Epoxy Resin Adhesive - only for treads that do not require repair or levelling. (Approx. nett weight 1.5 Kg.)

Aluminium & Brass Stair Tread Cutting Wheels 
The aluminium and brass Abrasive Stair Tread Cutting Wheels are exclusively manufactured for cutting Latham Stair Tread sections. The fine grade silicon carbide fabric enclosed and wax encrusted blades create the best cut available for the treads when multiple cuts are required (standard metal cutting blades will be damaged by the abrasive inserts in the stair treads). The cutting wheels are designed to be used on a drop or friction saw with maximum RPM of 3400. The new wheel diameter is 355mm, with a bore size of 25.4mm.These cutting wheels are available for purchase from Latham Australia when the material is supplied in full 4600mm manufacturing lengths for site cutting to the required sizes.On a properly set up drop saw, you should expect approximately 90 cuts for 75mm-100mm wide treads from 1 blade (different saws will achieve different results).
