Fibregrid has launched EdgeGrip anti-slip stair nosing, which will keep you compliant with the Disability Discrimination Act Part III by improving safety on steps and stairs with its highly-durable and slip-resistant properties, and aiding visibility with high-contrasting colour.
EdgeGrip anti-slip stair nosing has been developed as a cost-effective, long-term solution to the obligations under the Disability Discrimination Act Part III and, in particular, the sections relevant to the partially-sighted.
In order that the obligations are satisfied, in essence, all stairs accessible by members of the public should have a contrasting coloured nosing fitted to the step edges and, in addition, such nosings should provide a slip-resistant top surface.
The silicone oxide grit is embedded into a specially-pultruded GRP profile which is resistant to swelling, stretching, or warping over a wide range of temperatures and physical stresses.
Its strength means that it will help cover lightly-chipped stair edges, making them safer while protecting the stair edge itself to further costly damage.
With its patented feather edge, EdgeGrip safety nosing can be fitted to almost any step without creating a trip hazard.
Even when fitted to landings and extra-deep steps; its unique design provides the most-secure solution.It is 3mm thick and can be applied to timber, steel, concrete, ceramic, and open mesh surfaces.
It is suited to high-traffic areas, spiral staircases, fire escapes, most staircases, external stairs (GRP), internal stairs, platform edges, and kerb edges (GRP).
Dirt and debris can easily be removed using a stiff brush and should be carried out on a regular basis.
To meet Building Regulations for new build, the nosing must be 55x55mm.
Key features of the new edging include:
- Chamfered back edge
- Anti-slip top surface
- Hardwearing and durable
- Installs over virtually any substrate
- DDA & Building Regulation Compliant
- A choice of sizes
- Bespoke colours available
