Description
This DDA compliant stair nosing with 57x55mm profile and emergency light PVC insert is designed to clearly define step edges and improve safety on internal stairways. The robust aluminium carrier and high-visibility PVC insert create a durable, slip-resistant and visually contrasting leading edge, helping to reduce the risk of trips and falls.
Available in a wide range of insert colours and lengths, this stair nosing is ideal for commercial, public and residential buildings where compliance with Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) and inclusive design guidance is required. It is particularly suited to escape routes and areas with reduced lighting, where the emergency-light-responsive insert helps highlight stair edges in low light conditions.
Product Features
- DDA compliant 57mm tread x 55mm riser profile for clear visual definition of step edges.
- Durable aluminium nosing with integrated emergency light PVC insert for improved visibility in low light.
- Choice of insert colours: yellow, white, black, brown, beige, canvas, red, dolphin grey, ice grey, midnight grey and cobalt blue for effective tonal contrast with surrounding floor finishes.
- Supplied in convenient standard lengths: 1.0m, 1.5m, 2.0m, 2.46m, 2.77m and 3.22m to minimise on-site cutting and waste.
- Suitable for use with a wide range of floor coverings, including vinyl, laminate, carpet tiles and resilient floor finishes.
- Textured PVC insert provides enhanced slip resistance on the stair edge in both dry and light wet conditions.
- Pre-drilled fixing option (where specified) allows quick, secure mechanical installation to most stair substrates.
Key Features and Benefits
- Improved stair safety: The clearly defined nosing edge and slip-resistant insert reduce the likelihood of slips, trips and mis-steps on stairs.
- DDA and inclusive design support: Strong colour contrast options help meet visual contrast recommendations for users with impaired or low vision.
- Enhanced visibility in low light: Emergency light PVC insert improves step-edge definition when stairways are illuminated solely by emergency lighting.
- Flexible design options: Multiple colours and lengths make it easy to match interior schemes while maintaining required contrast with the floor finish.
- Long-lasting performance: Robust aluminium construction and hard-wearing PVC insert are designed to withstand heavy foot traffic in busy circulation areas.
- Cost-effective installation: Standard length options and simple fixing methods help to reduce installation time and labour costs.
