Ecoglo Stair Nosing Case Study

CHALLENGE
The Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester is a District General Hospital serving much of central Hampshire and is one of three hospitals serving a population of approximately 600,000 across Hampshire and parts of west Berkshire.

Just Floors were asked by the Hospital Trust directly to help out with a Health and Safety issue on around 70 steps that are located outside the main Hospital building. The steps run from the car park level that is situated at the top of a hill down to the main hospital building that is on a lower level. There was also a requirement for the stair edge contrast to be visible 24 hours a day.
 
 
“We needed a stair nosing for a poorly lit external stair case and Quantum offered the perfect solution which matched both the environment and our client’s demanding requirements."

SOLUTION
Quantum Flooring recommended the SF225R profile with Ecoglo Yellow and Photo Front tread as it offered a failsafe photo luminescent finish. Just floors then presented a sample to the trust directly to see what they thought and the product was subsequently approved as the ideal solution.

This was made possible due to Quantum Floorings lean manufacturing practices.

This led to Just Floors placing an order for 95 metres of SF225R with the Ecoglo inserts. They received the requested Stair Nosings the very next day, rapidly delivered to site by Quantum.
