stairs safety tread

Endura rubber stair treads installed for the first time in Australia at Origin Energy in Melbourne.

Architects in Sydney, Group GSA chose Endura all in one rubber stair treads for the open steps of the Origin Energy Building at 321 Exhibition Street. The aim was to have the best in sustainability and energy efficiency for the refit of the old building.

Endura stair treads have a 10-year guarantee but would be expected to last 15 to 20 years at least. The Endura rubber is unique in that it has a self-bleeding wax and so it doesn't need extra waxing and polishing. Cleaning is easy to damp mopping and occasional scrubbing. (This of course will provide huge savings on costs of cleaning and chemicals over the 15 to 20 years).

The rubber provides good acoustic qualities and the round texture and VI abraded strip provides safety being anti-slip. Two colours with contrast VI (visual inserts), were chosen, black/brown and Light Grey for the 20 floors.

The live vertical garden right up the whole building next to the Endura rubber stair treads is considered the tallest greenwall in Australia.

The project won a Melbourne Design Award 2012 for Landscape Architecture.
