Traditional Stair Nose V The Q Range

Picking the Correct Stair Nosing

What is a Stair Nosing?

A Stair Nosing is an angled profile consisting of an aluminium or PVCu carrier with a slip resistant tread material on the upper surface (tread).

 

Stair Nosings are installed on stairways to:  

 

1.       Define and highlight the edge of the step.
2.       Protect the nose of the step and to prevent wear to the floor covering thus prolonging life.
3.       Also offer, through the correct colour choice a attractive aesthetic finish to a stairway.

 

If the correct Stair Nosing is specified for a project, then the stairways involved will always be – Safe, Durable and Attractive.

Q Range Stair Nosing Case Study

Sector: Education

Main Contractor: McLaren

Flooring Contractor: Easifloor

End User:  CRMStudents

Location: Cambridge

 

 

Issue

Brunswick is a superb new scheme of 251 bedrooms, a mixture of studios and cluster rooms, offering outstanding student accommodation in the heart of Cambridge.  The customer required stair nosings for 7 staircases, 296 steps in total that were durable enough for high traffic. While there was also the design restraint of the staircases being cast metal and therefore no mechanical fixings could be used.  

 

Solution

Easifloor requested a site visit from an ASM who was able to interpret the specifications and propose the use of the Q-Range as it fully met the architects, builders and contractors needs.

Using the unique QSMS measuring system all 296 steps were individually measured, cut and delivered separately labelled.

The Q range has helped to create safe and stylish staircases for the modern building. QRHF1 was selected in Polar Grey to provide a single solid band of colour that visibly contrasted with the dark grey floor covering defining the step edge, this is in line with the Equality Act.

Product: 

Stairnose: Q Range QRHF1

Infill: Polar Grey

Fitting Method: Express Fit

Amount: 7 Cast Metal Staircases; 296 steps
