Architectural Stair Nosing | Slip-Rated Stair Nosing for Safer Residential and Commercial Spaces

Barrier Group's stair nosings are meticulously designed to meet the stringent requirements set forth in AS 1428.1:2021, which pertains to the design for access and mobility for people with disabilities. This compliance ensures that the stair nosings provide a safe and accessible environment for all users, including those with mobility challenges.

Additionally, these stair nosings are slip-rated according to AS 4586-2013, which evaluates the slip resistance of flooring surfaces. This rating is crucial for minimizing the risk of slips and falls, particularly in high-traffic areas or locations exposed to moisture.

The stair nosings are available in a diverse range of profiles, making them suitable for various applications and environments. Whether for residential, commercial, or public spaces, Barrier Group offers options that can accommodate different stair designs and aesthetic preferences. This versatility ensures that the stair nosings can be effectively integrated into most situations, enhancing both safety and visual appeal.

Manufactured from non-corrosive, hard-wearing anodised aluminium extrusions, these stair nosings are built to withstand the rigors of daily use while maintaining their structural integrity and appearance over time. The anodisation process not only enhances the durability of the aluminium but also provides a protective layer that resists corrosion, making these stair nosings ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Each stair nosing is supplied in standard lengths of 3.62 metres, allowing for easy installation and customization to fit specific stair dimensions. This standardization simplifies the purchasing process for contractors and builders, ensuring that they can obtain the necessary materials without delay. Overall, Barrier Group's stair nosings combine safety, durability, and aesthetic flexibility, making them an excellent choice for enhancing stairway safety in a variety of settings.

Alternatively, we can provide pre-cut and drilled lengths to your requirements, or a complete supply and install service.

What is the Purpose of Stair Nosing?

Stair nosing enhances the staircase's safety significantly – its primary and crucial role is to boost staircase safety in commercial and industrial settings. In Australia, falls on stairs or steps represent 15% of all workplace fall-related claims (Safe Work Australia).

By offering a wider surface area to step on, nosing facilitates easier and safer movement when ascending or descending stairs.
