75mm x 58mm Aluminium Anti Slip Stair Nosing with PVC Insert - DDA Compliant

The NSL27 Profile is a robust and versatile aluminum stair nosing solution designed for commercial and industrial settings, providing both functionality and aesthetic appeal. It features an aluminum channel paired with a range of insert materials, allowing for greater flexibility in design. This profile is specifically engineered to create a contrasting solid band of color across both the tread and riser, enhancing visibility and safety.

Compliance with Industry Standards

In terms of regulatory adherence, the NSL27 Profile complies with the guidelines set forth in Approved Document M and BS8300:2009+A1:2010. These standards are essential for ensuring accessibility and inclusive design in public and commercial spaces. The design of the NSL27 makes it ideal for environments where no surface floor coverings are used, or where resilient flooring is in place. This makes it particularly suitable for stairways in buildings that prioritize both safety and compliance with accessibility regulations.

Contrast and Visibility

One of the key considerations when selecting an insert color for the NSL27 Profile is the Light Reflective Value (LRV) of both the stair nosing and the surrounding floor covering. To ensure adequate contrast for visibility, the difference in LRV between the stair nosing and the floor covering should be greater than a factor of 30. This contrast is crucial for meeting accessibility standards, particularly for individuals with visual impairments, as it helps distinguish the edges of stairs clearly.

Durability and Aesthetic Flexibility

The NSL27 Profile is supplied in a standard Mill finish, offering a sleek and professional appearance. Additionally, while the standard finish provides durability and functionality, the ability to select different finishes enables the profile to suit various design preferences and project specifications. Whether the goal is to match a building's existing décor or to create a bold statement with contrasting finishes, the NSL27 offers the versatility to meet diverse aesthetic needs.

Conclusion

Overall, the NSL27 Profile is a highly functional and compliant stair nosing solution for a wide range of applications. It offers the necessary durability, safety features, and aesthetic options required for commercial and industrial environments, making it a reliable choice for ensuring accessibility and safety in high-traffic areas. With its commitment to meeting industry standards and guidelines, the NSL27 Profile stands out as an essential component for creating inclusive and well-designed spaces.
