Don't slip up - Stair edgings for safer, smarter design
In high-traffic environments, stair safety isn't just a design consideration – it's a legal and functional imperative.
Architectural Technologists play a pivotal role in specifying solutions that not only meet regulatory standards but also enhance user experience. Gradus stair edgings offer a smart, compliant way to reduce slip risks, protect floorcoverings, and elevate aesthetics.
Adhering to BS 8300-2:2018 and Approved Documents K and M standards, Gradus profiles are engineered to reduce overstep risks – especially on treads under 300mm. The XT range, with its extended slip-resistant insert, wraps around the step edge to maximise grip and visibility. Whether you're working on healthcare, education, or commercial projects, there's a profile to suit every tread depth, substrate, and floorcovering.
Visual contrast is another critical factor. Gradus stair nosings are tested for Light Reflectance Values (LRVs) to ensure compliance and inclusivity, helping partially sighted users navigate safely. With options like metal castellated inserts for luxury interiors or heavy-duty TEX ranges for transport hubs, the versatility is unmatched.
