The Act, in essence, requires that all stairs, accessed by members of the public, should have a contrasting coloured nosing fitted to all step edges and in addition such nosings should provide a slip resistant surface.
Suregrip SN has been developed as a cost effective, long term solution to help with the requirements as laid down by the Disability Discrimination Act Part III and in particular, the sections relevant to the partially sighted.
One of this range is Suregrip SN.
This is a slip-resistant stair nosing offering superior traction even in wet or oily conditions.
Suregrip SN measures 60mm x 40mm and is 4mm thick.
We stock 2000mm lengths so we can cut to your exact requirements free of charge.
The Act is now fully enforceable.
Suregrip SN is the quick and easy solution to help to comply with the act.
