Stair Treads
Non-Slip Stair Treads
New developments need to meet the Australian Standard AS 1428, which covers safety norms for stair tread nosing. In Volume One of the National Construction Code, a stairway is defined as two or more steps used in pedestrian travel.
Safety criteria for stair treads
- Contrast of at least 30% when set against the stair tread surface.
- The strip must be between 50mm and 75mm wide. It must be set back from the tread/riser intersection by no more than 15mm.
Property owners or managers have the duty of care to ensure pedestrians do not become involved in a slipping or tripping accident as a result of his/her negligence. Comply with the standards by using the Swiss GriP Safety Floor Coating.
