Safety Aluminium Stair Nosing Outdoor Edge Trim Anti Slip Metal Staircase Protector

Application

Each year slips, trips and falls result in thousands of preventable injuries. Stair nosings are problem solvers and problem preventers. With stair nosings, the problem of worn stairs can be prevented. Nosings can also help prevent the problem of slips and falls because of their anti-slip features. Commercial buildings, such as schools, universities, stadiums, and office complexes get a tremendous amount of pedestrian traffic each day. Building owners need to take every possible precaution to ensure the safety of these users and help protect themselves against litigation should an accident occur. The simple act of adding quality stair nosings can help prevent slips and falls, add a sense of security, and help prolong the wear of both the stair tread and the floorcovering product used on the stairs.

Use

stair-nosing profiles are resistant to most chemicals encountered in tiled environments. In special cases, the suitability of a proposed type of material must be verified based on the anticipated chemical, mechanical, and/or other stresses. Exceptions and special consider-ations are listed below.

Aluminum profiles must be tested to verify their suitability if chemical stresses are anticipated. Cementitious materials, in conjunction with moisture, become alkaline. Since aluminum is sensitive to alkaline substances, exposure to the alkali (depending on the concentration and duration of exposure) may result in corrosion (aluminum hydroxide formation). Therefore, it is important to remove mortar or grout residue from visible surfaces. In addition, ensure that the profile is solidly embedded in the setting material and that all cavities are filled to prevent the collection of alkaline water.
