The NSL28 Profile is designed to meet the needs of both commercial and industrial environments where safety, accessibility, and regulatory compliance are paramount. This aluminum channel stair nosing is enhanced with a selection of insert materials for the tread and riser, offering a distinctive contrasting solid band of color. Such a design helps to improve the visibility of the stairs, ensuring that users can navigate them with greater safety.
Compliance with Accessibility Standards
One of the standout features of the NSL28 Profile is its adherence to key accessibility guidelines. It is specifically designed to comply with the guidance outlined in Approved Document M and BS8300:2009+A1:2010, making it an ideal choice for projects where regulatory compliance is essential. These standards ensure that the product not only meets structural and functional requirements but also addresses the needs of people with disabilities, contributing to a more inclusive and accessible environment.
The NSL28 Profile is particularly suitable for use in areas where no surface floor coverings are applied or where resilient flooring is present. This makes it versatile for a variety of applications, such as offices, retail spaces, and public buildings, where flooring choices can vary but safety remains a priority.
Ensuring Sufficient Contrast for Safety
An important consideration when choosing insert colors for the NSL28 Profile is the Light Reflective Value (LRV) of both the surrounding floor covering and the stair nosing itself. The LRV of the materials used must differ by at least a factor of 30 to create sufficient contrast between the stair nosing and the surrounding floor. This contrast is vital for ensuring that the stair edges are easily visible, reducing the risk of accidents and falls.
Enhancing Safety and Visibility
By adhering to these specifications, the NSL28 Profile enhances both safety and visibility in stairway environments. Whether used in public spaces, workplaces, or other commercial settings, it plays a key role in creating accessible, safe, and visually distinct stairs. This makes it an excellent choice for ensuring that stairways comply with accessibility regulations while also providing a functional and aesthetic solution for any building.
