CareHomeDeskCareHomeDeskAluminium or rubber-insert stair nosing profiles for care home staircases. The contrasting colour insert provides the luminance contrast required by Approved Document K and BS 8300 for visually impaired users to distinguish stair edges. Available in surface-fix and rebated profiles to suit existing and new staircase constructions.
Falls on staircases are a leading cause of serious injury in care homes. Approved Document K (Protection from falling) requires stair nosings to be colour-contrasting in buildings accessible to disabled people. BS 8300 specifies that the nosing should contrast with the tread by at least 30 LRV points. Gradus nosings are specified by architects and facilities managers because the colour range covers common staircase finishes and the product carries Part M compliance documentation.
Aluminium or rubber-insert; luminance contrast insert ≥30 LRV points; profiles for surface fix and rebated installation; slip-resistant insert; lengths 900 mm and 1,200 mm standard.
