Stairs solution

Q: Which slip rating should I target for interior stairs?

Select inserts with proven wet/dry slip performance and match the R-rating/pendulum guidance required by local code.

Q: How do I ensure adequate visual contrast?

Use high-contrast strips across the nosing width; verify luminance contrast thresholds per accessibility standards.

Q: Can these profiles be used with vinyl and wood floors?

Yes--choose profile geometry that suits the finished floor thickness and front edge shape; follow adhesive/fastener guidance.

Q: Are the anti-slip inserts replaceable?

Many systems offer replaceable inserts; confirm the insert channel type and replacement process in the datasheet.

Q: Do you provide installation?

Materials-only supply. Installation is performed by the client's appointed contractor/installer.

Slip‑resistant stair nosings, treads and contrast strips for public & residential buildings. Visibility, durability, low VOC. Materials‑only B2B supply.

Purpose & Scope

We supply materials only to B2B clients (distributors, contractors, developers, architects, FM). Installation is performed by your appointed contractor/installer per local code and manufacturer guidance.

Stair Solutions cover nosings, treads, riser/landing finishes and contrast strips designed to improve slip resistance, edge visibility and durability on internal stairways. Systems are suitable for offices, education, healthcare, hospitality, residential developments and public buildings.

Project Benefits

Slip resistance where it matters: textured anti‑slip inserts on nosings and treads for wet/dry interior use.
Edge visibility & contrast: integrated high‑contrast strips to highlight nosing lines and reduce trip risk.
Durability under traffic: profiles engineered for heavy footfall, trolleys on landings and regular cleaning.
Compatibility: pairs with vinyl, linoleum, LVT/SPC, laminate and wood floor finishes.
Maintenance & hygiene: replaceable inserts; smooth, cleanable surfaces; low‑VOC options.
Compliance support: designed to assist with accessibility and safety requirements (confirm local code specifics).

Components & Options

Stair Nosings (profiles): single‑ or double‑channel with anti‑slip inserts; square‑edge or rake‑back front.
Treads: factory‑bonded anti‑slip tread plates for worn steps or substrate upgrades.
Contrast Strips: integrated or surface‑applied strips to meet visual contrast guidance.
Landings/Edges: coordinating edge trims and transition profiles for top/bottom steps.
Accessories: corner pieces, end caps, screws/adhesives specified per substrate (by installer).

Technical & Compliance

Always verify local building code/accessibility requirements (e.g., contrast width/position, tactile cues) for the project jurisdiction.

Typical Range / Note

Target R‑rating selection for approach zones; stair inserts with wet/dry grip (verify test)
Achieve clear luminance contrast between nosing and tread/riser (confirm local code)
Components typically Bfl‑s1 or substrate‑dependent (verify DoP/test)
Aluminum profiles with anti‑slip inserts, or resilient vinyl/rubber treads
Square/splayed front edges; nosing radius options for different finishes
Mechanical + adhesive systems per substrate (concrete/wood/metal)
Low‑VOC; confirm certificates where required

Detailing &
Integration

Finish compatibility: coordinate nosing height with the finished floor build‑up (flooring + adhesive/underlay).
First/last step emphasis: apply contrast strips at landings and the first/last risers to improve perception.
Tactile cues: add tactile indicators at the head/top of stairs where local code requires.
Cleaning: prefer inserts that resist clogging and allow easy wipe/brush maintenance.
Noise & comfort: consider resilient inserts in quiet zones (education, healthcare).

Sector‑Specific Guidance

Education & Healthcare

Emphasize slip resistance and visual contrast; select rounded profiles to minimize damage/snags to equipment.

Offices & Hospitality

Balance aesthetics with safety: specify slimline nosings with color‑matched or contrasting inserts.

Residential (Multi‑Family)

Durable profiles for common stairs; coordinate with corridor finishes and entrance matting strategies.

Logistics & B2B Supply

Materials‑only supply. Installation by your contractor/installer to local code.

Order sizes:

from step kits to bulk palletized nosings/treads.

Lead time:

stock finishes vs made‑to‑order inserts/colors.

Docs:

datasheets, DoP/DoC, slip/fire tests, installation guides.

Samples:

profile cuttings, insert swatches.

Support:

spec wording, take‑offs from drawings, maintenance guidance.
