Stair nosing from Guardian Tactile Systems

Guardian non-slip Stair Nosing fitted to stair edgings.
Guardian non-slip stair nosing provides a reliable and durable solution to
the prevention of slips and falls that can result in serious accidents on internal and
external stair cases. Manufactured from non-corrosive, high-quality, anodised aluminium,
Guardian non-slip stair nosing will provide extra grip to all stair surfaces - even in
adverse conditions such as the presence of water or oil.
Installation
Guardian Stair Nosing is quick and easy to install - just peel, bond and screw. It then
provides a permanent anti-slip surface to the front edge of all types of stairing. The
stair nosing can be supplied as a self installed kit or alternatively we can provide our
teams of fully trained professional installers to assist with your stair nosing requirements.

- The heavy duty 1mm Silicon Carbide insert guarantees many years of non-slip service under heavy foot traffic.
- Totally waterproof and weatherproof against all types of conditions.
- Bonding System adheres to all types of surfaces and eliminates metal vibration.
- Pre-cut and pre-drilled for simple, quick and easy site fixing to any substrate.
- Guaranteed for 5 years.
Safety
Guardian's highlighted nosing is used to indicate the location of the leading edge of each
stair to ensure safe movement up and down the stairway by all members of the community. All
stairways, other than those specifically exempted under the BCA, should have these features
for access and safety reasons.
The application of Guardian stair nosing on treads goings on stairways assists people with a
vision impairment allowing them to see and feel the edge of each step on a stairway with far
more ease; however all members of the community benefit from this application.
Building Owners' Compliance
Guardian stair nosing is a safety product essential for owners of buildings where public and
employee access occurs by steps and where dedicated stair cases are used for the fire escape
purposes. Building codes for the construction of stairs and exits, and Australian Standards
for access and mobility now require all new buildings to include slip-resistant stair nosing.
Guardian Stair Nosings comply with Australian Building Codes, Australian Standards: SA 1428.1
& 2. 2002 and Disability Discrimination
