Ribbed Safety Stair Nosing from CTA Australia

Safety Stair Treads - ProStep HiLight

CTA Australia introduces the new ProStep 5 range of ribbed safety stair nosing which combines premium performance, aesthetics and maximum flexibility.

Designed for high traffic conditions, this range will also add flair to any public area where style choices are important. The ProStep 5 incorporates an elegant rib profile. The five narrow inserts can be selected in any combination of black, safety yellow or grey to suit your design and safety requirements.

ProStep 5 has also been designed for maximum ease of installation. All extrusions are pre-cut and predrilled to order. They are supplied with all the necessary fixing screws and star plugs for installation on to any hard surface and are also appropriate on direct stick carpet applications.

Uniquely, ProStep 5 is supplied with 4 of the narrow rib inserts attached. The remaining middle rib includes a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) backing which is applied after the fixing screws. This means the fixing screws are hidden which improves the aesthetic value and also reduces the risk of tampering. The nosings inserts can be trimmed to length with a regular handsaw, so on site alterations are also practical.

In accordance with The National Construction Codes, the Access to Premises Standards AS1428 and the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), it is mandatory to provide a 50 to 75mm deep safety stair nosing to all steps. ProStep 5 meets all of the requirements and provides maximum safety for both indoor and outdoor applications. ProStep 5 is also available in a recessed option when installed against floor coverings.
