Every Flooring Installation Deserves the “GILT EDGE” Finish
From
Building on 40 years knowledge and experience Gradus has evolved its traditional stair edging design with the Gradus XT range, offering the ultimate solution in reducing slips, trips and falls on stairs. Based on the latest recommendations from Building Research Establishment (BRE) and the guidance contained in Approved Document M (ADM) of The Building Regulations 2000,
building owners and speci�ers can request the Gradus XT range safe in the knowledge that they are using the very latest in product design and performance to protect all groups of building users.Research undertaken by BRE investigated the effect of going (step tread) size on stair safety and the use of proprietary nosings in overstep situations. The research resulted in the publication of a paper - BRE IP 15/03 Proprietary nosings for non-domestic stairs.

Results:
• as going sizes are reduced, the risk of overstepping on the edge of
the step increases
• the contact area between the shoe and stair is dramatically reduced and
increases the likelihood of the foot slipping off the nosing (step edge)
• this may lead to an irrecoverable misstep and a potentially serious fall
Conclusion:
• the risk of slip to the user may be reduced by increasing the available
friction at the nosing (edge of the step)
• Suitable for internal dry conditions
• No special handling or installation required
• Choice of colours to enable colour contrast with surrounding floorcoverings in line with BIA D1/ASI 4.1.7 b)
The Gradus XT range features an extended insert that continues around the
leading edge of the stair edging to ensure that contact is always made with
the slip-resistant element of the stair edging.
