XT PVC-u Hardnose

The Gradus XT range of PVC-u Hardnose stair edgings (stair nosings) offers the ultimate solution in reducing slips, trips and falls on stairs and has been developed in line with the latest legislation and guidelines such as Approved Document M (ADM) of The Builidng Regulations 2000, BS8300:2009+A1:2010 and research from BRE (Building Research Establishment).

PVC-u Hardnose XT profiles are suitable for use with both resilient flooring and carpets (with gauges from 3mm to 6mm) and comprise coloured PVC-u channels with a choice of slip-resistant inserts that extend around the leading edge of the stair edging to ensure that foor contact is always made with the slip-resistant element of the stair edging.

Selecting the channel and insert in the same colour provides the ideal solution for creating a single, solid band of colour that contrasts with the surrounding floorcovering to define the edge of the step in line with BS8493:2008 (Light Reflectance Values - LRVs), BS8300:2009+A1:2010 and Approved Document M 2004 guidelines. All Gradus stair edging channel and insert colours are measured for LRVs and the measurements are shown upon selection of the colour.

Slip-resistant inserts are available for both interior dry and interior wet conditions (environments where there is a risk of the stair edging becoming wet from either spillage or tracked in moisture e.g. steps close to entrances, near canteens or food/vending areas).

Select Interior insert for dry conditions, Xtra-grip insert for environments where there is a risk of the stair edgings becoming wet, and Xtra-grip Plus for areas at risk of becoming wet and also subject to more frequent cleaning such as catering and food preparation areas.
