Why use a stair edging?Over 100,000 injuries are reported onnon-domestic stairs each year and the latestHSE figures show that 100 deaths resultdirectly from falls and trips on stairs.Reduce accidents on stairs by:Providing slip-resistance at the edge of the stepProviding a visual contrast to highlight the edge of the stepProtect the step edge and surrounding floorcoveringsReduce maintenance costsImprove the aesthetics of a buildingComply with the guidance inApproved Documents M and K of The Building Regulations 2010,BS 8300:2009+A1:2010 and BS 9266:2013 in line with the Equality Act 2010Follow our 3 step guide toselecting the correct stair edging8

3 step guideChoose a colour thatvisually contrastsVisual contrastThe stair edging needs to highlight the step edge by providing a visual contrast with the remainder of the tread and riser material along the fullwidth of the stair. This is achieved by providing a 30 point difference on the Light Reflectance Value (LRV) scale between the two surfaces (seepages 134-135 for more information on LRVs).It is important to achieve a tonal contrast between the floorcovering and the stair edging as people with visual impairments may not be able tosee some or all colours but can perceive light and dark. The photographs below show that colour contrast (picture 1) visible to fully-sightedpeople may not always offer a tonal contrast (picture 2) for partially-sighted people.Picture 1 Picture 2All Gradus stair edging channel and insert colours are measured for LRVs in accordance with BS 8493:2008+A1:2010 to help achieve thisdifference. Gradus PVC-u Hardnose stair edgings can be selected with the channel and insert in the same colour to provide the ideal solutionfor creating visual contrast, in line with Approved Documents M & K and BS 8300:2009+A1:2010 guidelines (see pages 136-139).Try our AdvancedStair Edgings SearchNeed help selecting a stair edging?Visit: www.gradusworld.comand click-on Stair Edgings & Trims.12

Trans-Edge ® - Stair EdgingsA range of heavy-duty aluminium stair edgings incorporating extremely durable,slip-resistant insert materials, suitable for external and internal applications suchas motorway foot bridges, railway stations, airports, sports stadia, outdoorarenas and heavy industry. Selected TEX stair edgings can also be used withtread plates and sheet material to form a heavy duty stair and floor system - seepages 30 to 31.Installation Advice:• TEX3R, TE4 and TE5R – the front insert should always be in a visually contrasting colour to theremaining inserts to ensure definition of the step edge. The remaining inserts must always beof the same colour and ideally match the surrounding floorcovering. The colours selected mustcontrast by 30 points on the LRV scale - see page 15 for insert LRVs.• TEXE1 - multiple pieces of TEXE1 can be joined together to increase slip-resistance along thetread depth. When using two or more TEXE1 extension profiles, these should be a contrastingcolour to the stair edging insert to ensure step edge definition (see above).Information:• For guidance on the correct selection of stair edgings see pages 8 to 12.• For larger colour swatches, Light Reflectance Values (LRVs) and NCS references see pages 14 to 15.Visit: www.gradusworld.com to download: AutoCAD drawings, Gradus & NBS Specifications,Cleaning & Maintenance, Installation Guidelines and Health & Safety Data Sheets.28

Guide to Stair Trims & Welded CornersDescriptionWelded corners are designed to form a neat and attractive edgearound the open end of a step by concealing the edge of thefloorcovering and stair edging.Welded corners are supplied pre-welded to suit the angle between the riser andtread of the step (78°- 90°). They are available in a variety of gauges to suitdifferent floorcoverings. Welded corners are available with either a fixed flangeor separate fixing clips as shown on the opposite page. When selecting theappropriate welded corner the thickness of the screed, the floorcoveringand the combined thickness of the stair edging riser and floorcoveringmust be considered to ensure a neat finish. Profiles are alsoavailable in longer lengths to be used as trimming strips onlandings etc.XT rangeFor details on XT side trims andwelded corners refer to page 48(Aluminium and PVC-u Hardnose).In addition to welded corners a range ofspecialist stair trims can be found on thefollowing pages (46 to 51).DABCDNap TrimAluminium or bronze nap trims (seepage 51) available with or without carpetgripper, butt joint to the back edge of thestair edging to form a neat finish to thefloorcovering.

Transition T ProfilesUsed for joining different floorcoverings of the same, or slightly differing, heights. The design of the T profiles allows slight imperfections injoints and cuts to be hidden, and enables a gap between floor finishes to be incorporated during installation to allow for natural expansionin flooring materials such as ceramics and wood. Profiles can be curved on-site for shaped edges and inlays. T profiles are fitted after thefloorcoverings have been installed, making them ideal for use when the installation of the floorcoverings is undertaken by different trades(e.g. ceramic contractors and flooring contractors) where the trims cannot be fixed until both floors have been completed.Visit: www.gradusworld.com to download: AutoCAD drawings, Gradus & NBS Specifications,Cleaning & Maintenance, Installation Guidelines and Health & Safety Data Sheets.woodceramic tileTP290F4 wood to ceramic tile.TP290F4CODE / PROFILE MATERIAL LENGTH COLOURS / FINISHES14ø500mm8 7Aluminium 2.70m F4 Silver AnodisedTP290F714ø400mm8 7Brass 2.70m F7 PolishedTP290CH114ø1000mm8 7Brass 2.70mCH1 High GlossChromeTP290CH214ø1000mm8 7Brass 2.70mCH2 Matt BrushedChromeTP291F4820ø12 7Aluminium 2.70m F4 Silver Anodisedø4500mm1000mmTP293F472813.52800mm Aluminium 2.70m F4 Silver Anodised5.5øDimensions shown are nominal.

Section 3Skirtings, Capping Strips& AccessoriesInformation to ensure the correct selection ofskirtings, capping strips and other accessoriesalong with details of colour availability. Details ofGradus pvc skirtings, metal skirtings, cove formersand capping strips can be found in this section.105

Choosing the right skirtingArea of ApplicationSkirtings, cove formers and capping strips are used to provideclean, neat solutions for junctions where the floor meets the wall.Gradus offers solutions to suit most contract applications, from‘critical’ clean areas where a homogeneous finish is essential suchas hospital wards, treatment rooms, and food & pharmaceuticalenvironments, through to commercial office, education or retailenvironments where functionality needs tobe combined with aesthetics.Healthcare, food & pharmaceutical and education environments inparticular benefit from the use of pvc skirtings that can be weldedto resilient floorcoverings in order to create completely imperviousseals to meet cleaning and hygiene requirements.For further guidance on the use of pvc skirtings in healthcareenvironments refer to: Health Technical Memorandum (HTM):Flooring 61 – 3 Design Guidance, Skirtings 3.13 - 3.19.Materials & ProfilesOptionsSelecting the correct type of skirting profile will ensure that productperformance matches the environment requirements and will resultin a functional, low maintenance alternative to traditional skirtings.Pvc SkirtingsSet-in – typically used with resilient floorcoverings, this typeof skirting is welded to the floorcovering in order to create animpervious seal. Ideal for critical clean areas (e.g. treatment rooms,pharmaceutical production) or areas subject to wet cleaning (e.g.school and hospital corridors). Selected set-in skirtings are availablein 15m coils in order to reduce the number of vertical jointsrequired.Sit-on – typically used with hard floorcoverings. Ideal for use inareas where a neat, clean finish is required but an impervious seal isnot required e.g. general circulation areas in schools and hospitals.Flat – used primarily with textile floorcoverings to form a neat, lowmaintenancealternative to timber skirting.Capping Strips & Cove Formers – used when floorcoverings arecontinued up the wall. Cove former ensures a consistent cove isachieved and supports the floorcovering at a weak point. Cappingstrips provide a neat finish where the floorcovering stops.Stratum Pvc SkirtingAn alternative to traditional timber skirting, this 10mm thickskirting provides the look of painted wood whilst offering a lowmaintenance solution. Ideal for creating a neat finish in non-criticalclean areas, and in all contract environments where ongoingmaintenance and aesthetics are important factors.Metal SkirtingsModern alternative to pvc or timber skirtings. Creates a modern,hi-tech finish for environments such as commercial office, retail andleisure. Low voltage cable management system also incorporatedin selected profiles.AestheticsGradus skirtings & cappings are available in a range of colours andfinishes to complement most interior environments.In addition, the use of a skirting that contrasts in colour andluminance with the floorcovering can assist visually impaired peopleto determine the borders of the room. As a guide, skirtings shouldeither match the wall colour, or provide a complete contrast withboth the wall and floor.For further details on visual contrast see pages 136-137.Visit: www.gradusworld.com to download: AutoCAD drawings, Gradus & NBS Specifications,Cleaning & Maintenance, Installation Guidelines and Health & Safety Data Sheets.106

Stairtile - Slip-Resistant FlooringBritish LibraryDescriptionStairtile is a rubber composite material designed toprovide a hard-wearing, slip-resistant finish for stairs andfloors. It can be installed in a wide range of applicationssuch as shopping centres, car parks and other highusage circulation areas.It can be used as a complete stair covering or as aninsert set into terrazzo, wood and concrete. Stairtile issuitable for use in both internal and external applicationsand is available in a choice of 4 colours.When used on step edges, in order to ensure that the guidancein The Building Regulations 2010: Approved Document M isfollowed, Gradus recommends a minimum width (front to back)of 50mm to ensure a sufficient degree of colour contrast isachieved. Stairtile must be set as close to the leading edge ofthe step as possible. When Stairtile discs are used to define astep edge, they should have a diameter of 50mm and be set asclose together as possible.Profile InformationAvailable in a choice of 2 gauges• 6.5mm sanded finish - typically supplied to ready-preparedfloor finishes• 8.0mm sanded finish - typically supplied where further sitefinishing is required• To ensure slip-resistant properties are maintained, any buildup of contaminants such as grease must be managed using athorough and regular cleaning regimeInstallation Advice• Rebated product fitted with epoxy adhesive and screws• Can be supplied pre-drilled (minimum profile width 20mm).Screw head cover plugs supplied• Cast-in products require no mechanical fixingVisit: www.gradusworld.com to download: AutoCAD drawings,Gradus & NBS Specifications, Cleaning & Maintenance,Installation Guidelines and Health & Safety Data Sheets.122

Specification GuidelinesColour & Contrast / Light Reflectance ValuesColour and contrast within the built environment affects accessibility of all building users,in particular those with a visual impairment.Project RainbowA research project carried out by Reading University in conjunction with the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB), The Guide Dogs forthe Blind Association (GDBA) and ICI Paints first examined the use of colour contrast to aid navigation around the building and identified thathighlighting critical surfaces and special features can provide the basis for wayfinding for visually impaired people.The ‘Colour Contrast & Perception’ document produced by Reading University uses light reflectance values (LRVs) to measure colour andcontrast in products/surfaces and determines whether or not a suitable contrast has been achieved between surfaces.The findings from Project Rainbow identified the following:Special Features: identified as areas that need to be highlighted to allow a building to be used effectively by visually impaired people, i.e. stairedgings, handrails and door opening furniture.‘Special features are additional areas, smaller that critical features, that need to be highlighted to allow the building to be used more easily byvisually impaired people. Such features include sanitary ware, handrails, door handles, finger plates, switches, socket outlets, and stair nosingetc, all of which should be contrasted against the background against which they will be seen. Smaller items such as these will need a greatercolour difference from their surroundings in order to be identified.’Trim: ‘Special attention is needed to those items used in an internal environment to improve the decorative appeal and overall finish of an interior.Such items, which include coving, skirting, architrave, dado rail etc, should be decorated in colours used on larger critical surfaces.’✗Critical surface:patterned carpetand no stairedgings - staircaselooks like a ramp✓Special features:stair edgings are adifferent colour andluminance to theflooring to definestep edges✓Special features:skirting is thesame colour asthe wallSource: Building Regulations - Access to and use of buildings - Approved Document M - 2004 EditionCrown Copyright material is reproduced with the permission of the Controller of HMSO and the Queen’s Printer for Scotland.BS 8300:2009+A1:2010 andThe Building Regulations 2010: Approved Document MBritish Standard BS 8300:2009+A1:2010 states that light reflectance values (LRVs) are used to assess visual contrast using themethod of measurement detailed in BS 8493:2008+A1:2010. Approved Documents M (ADM) & K (ADK) directly refers to colour andcontrast in the definitions section, stating:‘Contrast visually, when used to indicate the visual perception of one element of the building, or fitting within the building, against another meansthat the difference in light reflectance value between the two surfaces is greater than 30 points.’ADM then refers to Colour, Contrast & Perception – Design Guidance for Internal Built Environments, Reading University (Project Rainbow).Light Reflectance Values (LRVs) explainedReflectance is the proportion of light that a surface reflects compared to the amount of light that falls on the surface. An LRV is a value given toa surface to denote the amount of light reflected. Therefore, as many people with a visual impairment can perceive light and dark, LRVs are asuitable method to measure contrast.LRVs are marked on a scale of 1 to 100 depending on the percentage of light reflected. Dark, matt and/or textured surfaces absorb a largeamount of light and, therefore, have low reflectance values. On the other hand, light, glossy and/or smooth surfaces reflect the majority of lightthat falls on them and have high reflectance values.Light Reflectance ScaleIn order to achieve a suitable contrast between different surfaces,Project Rainbow and ADM recommend that there is at least a30 point (not 30%) difference in the LRVs of the two surfaces.Black 0 White 100134

How to Measure LRVsThe British Standard BS 8493:2008+A1:2010 specifies the method of test to determine the light reflectance value (LRV) of different surfaces ofmaterials, including preparation of specimens in standardised conditions and results put into a test report. All relevant Gradus products havebeen measured using the CIE Y value and a test report is available upon request.Previous to this standard being published, two widely used methods of measurement had been used - the CIE L value (fluorescent light) andthe CIE Y value (natural daylight), causing confusion and potentially dangerous specifications. This standard has adopted the CIE Y value as thesingle consistent method of measurement for LRVs that is to be used across all industries.What the colour & contrast guidelines mean for Gradus flooring accessories:Stair EdgingsBS 8300:2009+A1:2010: ‘Each step nosing should incorporate a permanently contrasting continuous material for the full width of the stair onboth the tread and the riser to help blind and partially sighted people appreciate the extent of the stair and identify individual treads. The materialshould be 50mm to 65mm on the tread and 30mm to 55mm on the riser, and should contrast visually with the remainder of the tread and riser.’ADM: ‘All nosings are made apparent by means of a permanently contrasting material 55mm wide on both the tread and the riser.’Colour, Contrast & Perception (Project Rainbow): ‘The nosing of every step in a flight of stairs should be adequately colour or luminancecontrasted with the remainder of the step and the floor coverings adjacent to the top and bottom of the flight.’Tactile Warning TileBS 8300:2009+A1:2010: ‘To give advance warning of a step, tactile paving with a corduroy hazard warning surface should be provided at thetop and bottom of each flight. Where the approach to the stair is wider than the flight, the tactile surface should extend beyond the line of eachedge of the flight.’Colour, Contrast & Perception (Project Rainbow): ‘Colour or luminance contrast of tactile warning floor coverings at the top and bottom of eachflight (of stairs) will also assist in the identification of an imminent potential hazard.’SkirtingsBS 8300:2009+A1:2010: ‘To avoid giving the wrong impression about the size of a room, skirtings should have the same LRV as the wall sothat the junction between the skirting and the floor marks the extent of the room.’Colour, Contrast & Perception (Project Rainbow): ‘Skirting should be either decorated the same colour as the wall, the same colour as the flooror, if different to one or the other or both, must be decorated in a colour which highlights even further the junction.’Permission to reproduce extracts from BS 8300:2009+A1:2010 is granted by BSI.

The material should be 50 mmto 65 mm on the tread and 30mm to 55mm on the riser,and should contrast visually with the remainder of the treadand riser 2 .NOTE 1 A nosing that wraps around the riser might assistblind or partially sighted people 3 .NOTE 2 A proprietary nosing can provide a durable solutionthat satisfies both visual contrast and slip resistance criteria(see BRE IP 15/03 [13]) 3 .The whole tread or the nosing should incorporate slipresistantmaterial, starting as close as practicable to thefront edge of the nosing and extending the full width of thetread 3 .NOTE 3 Guidance on slip resistance of surfaces is given inAnnex E.1All Gradus stair edging colours have been measuredto provide Light Reflectance Values (LRVs)* in order toprovide the specifier with information to ensure that suitablecontrast is achieved with the surrounding stair material.PVC-u Hardnose stair edgings can provide an ideal solutionas channel and insert colours can be matched to contrastwith the tread and riser (see pages 34 to 39).* These values have been determined using the CIE Yvalue, in accordance with BS 8493:2008+A1:2010 – seepages 37 to 41 for further details.3The XT range of stair edgings features a slip-resistantpvc insert that extends around the leading edge of theprofile to ensure that foot contact is always made with theslip-resistant element of the stair edging, providing the idealsolution for reducing the risk of slips, trips and falls on stairsin line with BRE. The XT range is available in aluminium(see pages 17 to 18) and PVC-u Hardnose (see pages 37to 38).8 Vertical circulation8.1 Internal steps and stairs8.1.5 Surface finishesThe surface materials used for internal steps and stairsshould be chosen to be easy to maintain and as slipresistantas possible, especially if surfaces are likely tobecome wet due to location or use, or if spillage occurs.NOTE Advice and further references on slip resistance ofsurfaces is given in Annex E.A choice of slip-resistant insert materials is available for allGradus stair edgings. Xtra-grip and Xtra-grip Plus insertshave been specifically designed to reduce the risk of slip ininternal wet areas or where spillages are likely to occur (seepage 11 for advice on specifying the most suitable insert).Annex E Slip potential characteristics of treads,ramp surfaces and floor finishesE.2 Slip resistanceThe following indices are used to indicate the slipperinessof surfaces:a) pendulum test values (PTVs) obtained using apendulum tester in line with BS 7976-2;b) surface micro-roughness (Rz) measurements using astylus instrument in accordance with BS 1134-1.E.5 Step nosingsWhere slip resistance is required for nosings and treads, theslip resistance needs to be the equivalent to that expectedfor level surfaces. A PTV greater than 36 is considered tobe suitable, as pushing and turning are unlikely on stairs.On existing nosings, the slip resistance of step nosings aregenerally expressed by their Rz roughness value as PTV isdifficult to measure. In such cases a roughness Rz value of20 µm is recommended.All Gradus stair edging inserts are independently tested forslip-resistance by the Health & Safety Laboratory using thependulum test – all inserts have a low slip potential (insertsmeasured in dry conditions - PTV of between 66 and 71;inserts measured in wet conditions – PTV of between53 and 64). All inserts are also tested for wear, surfaceroughness, chemical resistance and bacterial/fungalresistance (see page 133 for further details).2The profile dimensions stated are guidance only andother factors should be taken into consideration whenspecifying stair edgings such as step dimension and typeand frequency of traffic. However, a large proportion ofGradus stair edgings fall between these dimensions stated,including the XT range (see pages 17 to 18 and 37 to 38).136

Guidance on Tread Alert5.9.6 LandingsTo give advance warning of a step, tactile paving with acorduroy hazard warning surface should be provided atthe top and bottom of each flight. Where the approach tothe stair is wider than the flight, the tactile surface shouldextend beyond the line of each edge of the flight.NOTE Further information on the correct choice of tactilewarning surface can be found in the DTLR publicationGuidance on the use of tactile paving surfaces.Tread Alert has been designed to meet the requirements of“Guidance on the use of tactile paving surfaces” (see pages124 to 125 for details).Guidance on Skirtings9 Surfaces and communication aids9.1.1 Visual characteristicsThe LRV of a wall should be 30 points different from thatof the ceiling and of the floor. To avoid giving the wrongimpression about the size of a room, skirtings should havethe same LRV as the wall so that the junction between theskirting and the floor marks the extent of the room.All Gradus skirting colours have been measured to provideLight Reflectance Values* in order to provide the specifierwith information to ensure that the skirting can be matchedto the wall and contrast with the floor.* These values have been determined using the CIE Yvalue, in accordance with BS 8493:2008+A1:2010 – seepages 134 to 135 for further details.Permission to reproduce extracts from BS 8300:2009+A1:2010 isgranted by BSI.

Specification GuidelinesThe Building Regulations and British Standardsspecifying the right Gradus productThe whole tread and the nosing should incorporate a slipresistantmaterial, starting as close as practicable to thefront edge of the nosing and extending the full width anddepth of the tread 3 .3Gradus offer a Heavy-Duty Stair & Floor system suitablefor heavy traffic exterior and interior environments (see page31). The system features stair edgings and tread plates foruse on stairs and sheet material for use as a floorcoveringon landings and walkways to help reduce the risk of slipsand trips in the most demanding environments.Note 1 A proprietary nosing can provide a durablesolution that satisfies both visual contrast and slipresistance criteria (see BRE IP 15/03 [12]).Note 2 Further information on slip resistance is given inBS 8300:2009+A1:20108 Communal areas within blocks of flats8.2 Design of common steps and stairsThe design of common steps and stairs should conform to 6.8.2Guidance on light reflectance values8.5 Visual contrast between surfaces or buildingelementsDifferences in light reflectance value (LRV) should be usedto assess the degree of visual contrast between surfacessuch as floors, walls, doors and ceilings, and between keyfittings/fixtures and surrounding surfaces.Note Relevant LRV differentials and methods of LRVmeasurement are provided in BS 8300:2009+A1:2010,Annex B.Visual contrast is used to indicate the visual perception ofone element of the building, or fitting within the building,against another to ensure the difference in light reflectancevalue between the two surfaces is greater than 30 points.All Gradus stair edging colours have been measured toprovide Light Reflectance Values* in order to provide thespecifier with information to ensure that suitable contrast isachieved with the surrounding stair material. *These valueshave been determined using the CIE Y value, in accordancewith BS 8493:2008 - see pages 134 to 135 for furtherdetails.Permission to reproduce extracts from BS 9266:2013 is granted byBSI.

1-33 (i) All nosings are made apparent by means of apermanently contrasting material 55mm wide on both thetread and the riser.The 55mm dimension detailed is guidance only and otherfactors should be taken into consideration when specifyingstair edgings such as step dimension, type and frequencyof traffic. Communities and Local Government (formerly TheOffice of the Deputy Prime Minister) also acknowledges thatadvice given by other expert bodies should be taken intoconsideration, for example the RNIB Access ConsultancyServices who state that the ideal dimension for a stairedging is 55mm on the tread and 30-50mm on the riser,which takes into account lower risers where a 55mm stairedging may take up a large proportion of the riser surfaceand therefore could be confusing for partially sightedpeople. If 55mm profiles are required they are available inthe Gradus range (see pages 17, 18, 21, 24, 37, 38 and39).Entrance Lobbies2-29 (e) Floor surface materials within the lobby do not impedethe movement of wheelchairs e.g. not coir matting, andchanges in floor materials do not create a potential triphazard.The majority of Gradus mats are suitable for use withwheelchairs.2-29 (f) The floor surface helps to remove rainwater from shoesand wheelchairs.A combination of Gradus primary and secondary barriermatting will help prevent the ingress of rainwater.2-29 (g) where matwells are provided, the surface of the mat islevel with the surface of the adjacent floor finish.Gradus offers a range of matwell frames and primary barriermats designed to work together to provide a smoothtransition to the surrounding floor finish.Corridors and Passageways3-12 In order to help people with visual impairment to appreciatethe size of a space they have entered, or to find their wayaround, there should be a visual contrast between the walland floor.Gradus skirting profiles are available in a wide choice ofcolours and will provide a suitable colour contrast, helpingdefine where the floor ends and the wall begins.Source: Building Regulations - Access to and use of buildings -Approved Document M - 2004 Edition incorporating 2010 and 2013amendments.

Specification GuidelinesBRE - Research and GuidelinesBRE has published an information paper (ref. IP15/03) entitled “Proprietary nosings for non-domestic stairs”. This paper provides guidance to designersand building managers on the best way to assess the types of proprietary nosings that should be provided on non-domestic stairs.Gradus has combined the key findings of this report with in-house research and development, and as a result has developed the XT range of profiles.Detailed below is a overview and summary of the key findings in the BRE information paper.OverviewThe study considered the dynamics of pedestrian stair use. Previousstudies have shown that 80% of slips on stairs are likely to occur whenusers are descending the stairs. This usually occurs as a result of anoverstep (i.e. when a substantial portion of the foot overhangs the tread).Therefore as the going (tread width) becomes narrower the likelihood of aslip incident becomes greater. Where the going is less than 300mm therisk of slip is increased. Most non-domestic stairs have a going of between250mm and 280mm. The risk of slip is further increased if the treadsurface is smooth, becomes wet or there is a lack of clear colour contrastat the step edge.Diagram to show how a typical overstep situation canoccur when the going is less than 300mm.ConclusionThe application of a proprietary nosing may reduce the risk of slippingagainst the factors highlighted above. The proprietary nosing shouldincorporate a slip-resistant material that should extend to the point at whichit meets the vertical face to minimise the risk of slip in descent. Proprietarynosings should all offer a colour contrast to clearly highlight the step edge.300mm or lessGradus recommendationThe XT range of stair edgings (see pages 17 to 18 and 37 to 38) offers a new edge in safety for stairs and has beendeveloped to take into account the latest guidance contained in the BRE information paper IP15/03, BS 8300:2009+A1:2010and in The Building Regulations 2010 - Approved Document M.enhanced adhesive bondfor additional strengthextended insert design ensuresmaximum safety underfootrecess to accommodate floorcoveringensures secure fit of profile to steplocking mechanismsecures insert in placebacking points help tohold floorcovering in placeExtracts from BRE Information Paper IP15/03, Proprietary nosings for non-domestic stairs, copyright BRE, reproduced by permission.
