What is Stair Nosing:

Stair nosing are thin strips of material fitted above the stairs to cover the sharp edges. The material can be steel, wood and other types. It is known that among all the other materials, FRP (Fibre-reinforced plastic) products are a better choice because of their strength, durability and anti-slip properties. There are many benefits that make them the best option for construction purposes.


Advantages of Stair Nosing System:

· SLIP RESISTANT:

It is found that many people slip when going up and down the stairs. To decrease the chance of falls and stumbles and prevent accidents, fitting anti-slip stair treads is the solution!


· PROTECTS THE SHARP EDGES:

This is one of the main benefits of installing a stair nosing system. The materials are made in a way that increases the width which offers extra space for steps and covers the edges to keep it safe. The additional space makes it easier for people to place their feet on. As a result, this would lead to less accidents.


· BETTER VISIBILITY:

The system come in different colours which is great help especially during dark. Stair nosing also helps to conform with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) and the Equality Act 2010, especially in regard to visually impaired individuals. Stair nosing supports you in complying with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) and the Equality Act 2010, with particular reference to the visually impaired. The Act suggests that all stairs used by the public must have nosing installed to all stair edges with a contrasting colour. Additionally, such stair nosing’s must offer an anti-slip surface especially in wet weather conditions.
