Technical Specifications
- Anti Slip - gritted surface tested in accordance with BS7976-2. It provides an exceptional level of slip resistance in all directions. Lifespan guaranteed for 10 years subject to standard use applications.
- Fire Resistant - meets Class A2-s1 in accordance with EN ISO 9239-1.
- Lightweight - only 1/3 the weight of steel, GRP is a convenient, fast, and safe installation material, reducing the risk of manual handling injuries, and easily cut on-site without the need for hot works permits.
- Non-Conductive - GRP acts as an insulator making it ideal for application in and around HV plant and equipment. It can also be supplied with a carbon finish to provide static discharge characteristics needed in electro-static sensitive environments.
Visual contrast: stair safety for the visually impaired
Stair Nosings help you comply with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) and the Equality Act 2010, with particular reference to the visually impaired. The Act, indicates that all stairs accessed by members of the public should have a contrasting colour nosing fitted to all step edges and in addition such stair nosings should provide a slip resistant surface particularly when wet.
For the Light Reflectance Values (LRV) of the colours of our Stair Nosings, see Light Reflectance Values. LRVs are specified in the DDA guidelines to ensure there is sufficient visual contrast for use by the partially sighted.
Non slip stair nosing for slippery steps
Made from tough, hard wearing and durable GRP, Safe Tread Stair Nosings will last for many years, outperforming many short term tape solutions. Supplied with a choice of medium grit or fine grit (see Specification), undrilled or predrilled.
Our 10 Year Manufacturers Guarantee: should any manufacturing defects occur within 10 years of purchase, we will replace free of charge.

Installation
Anti-Slip Stair Nosing installation guide
Handling
Safe handling practices should always be employed. Store the stair nosings face upwards.
Cutting Stair Nosing
We can do this for you, simply select the cut to size option and enter the exact sizes you require.
Minor adjustments, small cut outs, can be made with a hacksaw or a jigsaw with a suitable blade.
Should you wish to cut yourself, Anti-Slip Stair Nosings can be easily cut to size using orbital cutting equipment with either a stone or diamond blade. Cutting should be carried out externally or where there is dust extraction or suitable ventilation and appropriate protective equipment should be worn.
Fixing Stair Nosing
We recommend a double fixing method for installing stair nosing consisting of a high strength bonding adhesive and mechanical fixing to each end.
Having carried out adhesion tests using various adhesives we would recommend the use of Sabatack for bonding our Stair Nosings. Sabatack is suitable for bonding to concrete, wood, metal and steel.
The reputation for Sabatack for quality and reliability is virtually unmatched, illustrated through a comprehensive portfolio of problem solving products that have been employed for many years in wide diversity of applications.
Sabatack adhesive is also a sealant and will seal around the edge to stop water lying between the stair nosing and the substrate (water will not harm the stair nosing but can affect wood or metal substrates causing rot or rust).
Furthermore, use of Sabatack will also help eliminate the drumming noise, when walked upon, that can be created when fitting onto an existing substrate.
Adhesive Quantity
As an approximate guide, with a 6mm bead 1 x 300 ml tube of Sabatack adhesive sealant should be sufficient to bond 5 linear metres of Safe Tread Anti-Slip Stair Nosing.
For easy ordering - in the basket we calculate the quantity of adhesive required for your entire order, should you wish to purchase from us.
Technical data sheet for Sataback adhesive sealant.
Safety Data Sheet for Sataback adhesive sealant.
Preparation of steps
Any damage or undulations to the receiving substrate should be remedied to ensure that the stair nosing will be on a flat and even surface. when using an adhesive the substrate must be clean and dry, free from oils and grease, dust and loose particles. The underside of the stair nosing must also be clean and dry. Where the substrate is contaminated (i.e. by oil or is wet) or its surface strength is wanting, mechanical fixing is essential. The installer should ensure that the substrate is of sufficient quality to achieve a secure fixing.
Prior to applying an adhesive it's advisable to first carry out a dry-fit to ensure a suitable fit.
How to install Anti-Slip Stair Nosing
Once our preparation guidelines have been followed the nosings can be bonded as follows:
- Run a 6mm bead of adhesive around the perimeter of the nosing.
- Use hand pressure to bed the nosing into position.
- Fixing is generally recommended at approx 50mm in from both ends and then at a maximum of 250mm centres.
- Secure with pozi self-tapping stainless steel screws or with more appropriate fixings should these not be suitable for the installation substrate.
Stairs can be used immediately.
Bonding only
With Sabatack optimum bonding will be obtained around 48 hours after application at 23°c. However, the stairs can be opened to traffic a few hours after bonding subject to temperature.
Mechanical fixing only
Fixing is generally recommended at approx 50mm in from both ends and then at a maximum of 250mm centres.
Miscellaneous
The installation instructions make no claim to being comprehensive but should be used as a guide. Always employ safe practices. It's recommended that to first test the suitability of any fixing method on a small area before carrying out a full installation programme.
Installation Service
A fitting service is available if required. Please call 01206 227 660 for a quote.
Maintenance
Cleaning Stair Nosing
Use of a stiff brush will usually be sufficient to remove everyday dirt and debris. For more stubborn items try a mild detergent with warm water.
Prior to carrying out a full cleaning programme it's advisable to first test the suitability of the detergent on a small inconspicuous area.
Pressure Wash
If conditions allow, a pressure washer on a low setting can be used to clean the nosing. However, if the nosing has been secured with an adhesive agent or sealed with a sealant repeated use of a pressure washer could undermine the integrity of the adhesive / sealant.
Again, prior to carrying out a full cleaning programme it's advisable to first test the suitability of the pressure wash on a small inconspicuous area.
Spillages
Spills should be cleared up immediately. This should occur with consultation of product data sheets and in harmony with the company's own safety procedures.
General Routine Maintenance
The security of any fixings and the integrity of the products gritted surface and GRP substrate should be checked on a regular basis. The frequency of which will depend on the nature and volume of footfall. As a guide, for high traffic areas monthly inspections would be advisable.
