Gradus XT – the best just got better<br />
Contract interiors specialist Gradus has updated its market leading XT range of aluminium stair edgings. New aluminium XT retains all the<br />
existing benefits of XT with the addition of new features that offer improved performance.<br />
The Gradus XT range of stair edgings offers the ultimate solution in reducing slips, trips and falls on stairs and supports the recommendations in the<br />
latest building legislation and standards.<br />
The range features an extended insert design that wraps around the leading edge of the step to ensure that foot contact is always made with the slipresistant<br />
element of the stair edging, providing maximum safety underfoot and minimising the risk of slip.<br />
In addition, new XT aluminium profiles now feature a unique locking mechanism that secures the slip-resistant insert in place on both the tread and<br />
riser. This removes the need for an adhesive bond between the insert and channel and increases the resistance to moisture ingress, making the profiles<br />
ideal for use in areas subject to more frequent cleaning e.g. healthcare and education environments.<br />
In addition to the XT profiles, Gradus has also improved the range of inserts<br />
designed for use in areas where the stair edgings may become wet e.g. stairs<br />
close to entrances or where safety flooring is used. New Xtra-grip and Xtragrip<br />
Plus inserts provide increased surface roughness and, when combined<br />
with the new XT profiles, offers one of the most robust stair edging solutions<br />
on the market.<br />
For the complete solution, XT stair edgings can be installed with Gradus Grip<br />
ultra-strong stair edging adhesive, eliminating the need for mechanical fixings<br />
and screw head cover plugs, providing a hygienic, aesthetic solution.<br />
BIM objects are available for the complete range of XT stair edgings, including<br />
PVC-u Hardnose.<br />
