"all nosings are made apparent by means of a permanently contrasting material 55mm wide on both the tread and the riser"
Extract from Building Regulations
Remember, to meet Building Regulations (for new build) the nosing must be 55x55mm, it should not be bigger or smaller.
EdgeGrip has been developed as a cost effective, long term solution to the obligations under the Disability Discrimination Act Part III and in particular, the sections relevant to the partially sighted. In order that the obligations are satisfied, in essence, all stairs accessible by members of the public, should have a contrasting coloured nosing fitted to the step edges and in addition, such nosings should provide a slip resistant top surface.
With its patented feather edge, EdgeGrip can be fitted to almost any step without creating a trip hazard. Even when fitted to landings and extra deep steps, its unique design provides the most secure solution.
