EXTERNAL STAIR NOSING SOLUTIONS 2021

BS8300-2:2018 – STAIR NOSINGS REQUIREMENTS ON EXTERNAL STAIRCASES

10.1.4 IDENTIFICATION AND SLIP RESISTANCE OF NOSINGS Each step nosing should incorporate a durable, permanently contrasting continuous material for the full width of the stair on both the tread and the riser to help people who are blind or partially sighted appreciate the extent of the stair and identify individual treads. The contrasting material should extend 50 mm to 65 mm in width from the front edge of the tread and 30 mm to 55 mm from the top of the riser, and should contrast visually with the remainder of the tread and riser.

NOTE 1 Particular care is needed to ensure that there is adequate contrast between nosings and landings.

NOTE 2 Nosing that wraps around the riser might assist people who are blind or partially sighted.

NOTE 3 A proprietary nosing can provide a durable solution that satisfies both visual contrast and slip resistance criteria (see BRE IP 15/03 [24]). The whole tread or the nosing should incorporate a slip‑resistant material.

NOTE 4 Guidance on slip resistance of surfaces is given in Annex C. Surface material tread and risers should be free from patterning.

NOTE 5 It is beneficial that surface material at landings and floors contrasts with surface material of stairs, subject to maintaining visual contrast at top and bottom nosings.

(BS8300-2:2018, p39)

C.4 STEP NOSINGS Where slip resistance is required for nosings and treads, the slip resistance needs to be equivalent to that expected for level surfaces. A PTV greater than 36 is considered to be suitable, as pushing and turning are unlikely on stairs. On existing nosings, the slip resistance of step nosings are generally expressed by their Rz roughness value as PTV is difficult to measure. In such cases a roughness Rz value of 20 μm is considered to be suitable.

(BS8300-2:2018, p180)

FITTING

1. When on-site, check step measurements with cut Stair Nosing supplied.

Trim if required. Prepare step edge surfaces. They must be clean, smooth and clear of debris.

2. For stone or concrete steps use stair nosings as template and mark screw locations on each tread. Drill and plug screw holes.

4. Starting with the first Stair Nosing on the top step, press down and screw into position, then continue down the stairs.

(1” no. 6 screws recommended).

5. Apply tread and use a roller to secure tread in to stair nosing .

3. Apply Q-FIX adhesive to Stair Nosing (2.5mm beads of adhesive)
