Suitable for a wide range of commercial and industrial applications, carborundum modified safety stair nosings are a cost effective stair safety application with an R13 rating. This simple, yet highly effective anti-slip solution can be purpose built for any application.
Carborundum Modified Safety Stair Nosings are manufactured from folded galvanised metal angles or plates which are modified with carborundum grain imbedded in an epoxy coating. This combination provides an extremely durable, hard wearing, high friction surface which provides the very best in anti-slip, safety and product longevity. As carborundum is well known as being the second hardest material to diamond, Grip Guard’s stair nosings are suitable for the most demanding applications.
We guarantee that under normal use, the leading edge will not dislodge, wear away or deteriorate over the life of the product. Our carborundum modified safety stair nosings are design to meet the requirements of AS1428.4 and are available in a range of high visibility colours including yellow, grey and black to provide a safe environment both inside and outside.
