Stair tread replacement

[skins]

Hi. Thanks for the oprotunity to find information here.

I have replaced the concrete stair treads a few times over the last 30yrs and alway thought they were ugly at the front of my house. They are again cracking and need replacing.

Are there any alternatives in composite materials that will be strong enough to be used as treads and remain looking good.

There are a few alternatives for decking but I have not yet found any manufacturers that make say 50 mm solid lengths.

Any help woould be appreciated.

What about new wooden steps with something like this? - https://www.bunnings.com.au/croc-grip-45-x-755mm-black-aluminium-tread_p3962531

Yes . Thanks Marty, I think I will have to go with quality hardwood treads and just keep the treatment up to them. Thanks for the suggestion tho.
