Unlike a grit insert it is not there primarily for slip resistance: a flat plate is specified where the requirement is visual demarcation, edge definition on a stone or terrazzo tread, or a hard-wearing line that will not stain or discolour. Set several in parallel and the ribbed effect does add useful grip underfoot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour bar sizes are stocked, from a slim 6.35mm square section to a substantial 12.7 x 6.35mm. The deeper sections take a deeper groove and are the choice where the insert has to survive trolley wheels or heavy cleaning equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy cut to size\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCutting bar stock square by hand is harder than it looks, and an out-of-square end shows badly when the insert is flush with a stone tread. Cutting in a workshop gives clean, deburred ends that butt neatly against the going.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAluminium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBar sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.35mm square, 12.7 x 3.2mm, 9.5 x 6.35mm, 12.7 x 6.35mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCut length range\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e250 mm to 2800 mm, tolerance +\/- 5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFixing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBedded in adhesive into a routed groove\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInternal or external\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufactured\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnited Kingdom\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMeasuring and fixing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure each tread individually and take 3mm to 5mm off a wall-to-wall measurement so the bar drops in without scraping.
