The robust aluminium channel combines with a high-contrast PVC insert to improve visibility and safety on new or existing staircases.
Available in a range of lengths up to 3.22m and in multiple insert colours, this profile is ideal for commercial, public and residential buildings where compliance with Equality Act (DDA) guidance and Building Regulations is required. It is suitable for use on internal stairs with most floor finishes, including vinyl, laminate, timber and carpet tiles.
