Quantum Flooring’s Aluminium and uPVC Stair Nosings (stair edgings) help to make a stairway safe. As a slip resistant stair part fitted onto the nose of each step, they help to clearly define the steps on a stair when a contrasting colour to the stair floorcovering is chosen. They also serve to protect the edges and floorcovering on a stair, reducing the amount of potential wear and tear.
These features have the benefit of helping to make a stair safer by reducing the risk of an overstep or fall, and are part of the guidelines contained in the Building Regulations (K&M), BSI documents and a BRE paper that embody the requirements of the Equality Act (2010).
The correct stair nosing (stair edging) for a given application depends on several factors. Gauge (thickness) of stair floorcovering, shape to match step profile, dimensions, tread cover, colour and LRV difference.
Quantum Flooring Solutions has tools that help end users, architects, specifiers, facilities managers and flooring contractors to select the correct profile for a given project. The Specification Guide and other Sector Guides can be viewed here. For further information, call 0161 627 4222.
