Stair Edgings
& Complementary Trims
Providing the most extensive range in the UK, Gradus stair
edgings can help to reduce accidents on stairs as well as
helping to provide an ‘inclusive’ environment giving access to
all building users.
7
Why use a
stair edging?
Reduce accidents on stairs by:
Providing slip-resistance at the edge of
the step
Providing a visual contrast to highlight
the edge of the step
Protect the step edge and surrounding
floorcoverings
Reduce maintenance costs
Improve the aesthetics of a building
Comply with the guidance in Approved
Document M of The Building Regulations
2000 and BS8300:2009+A1:2010
8
Over 100,000 injuries are reported
on non-domestic stairs each year
and the latest HSE figures show that
100 deaths result directly from falls
and trips on stairs.

Choosing the right Stair Edging
Application
It is important to consider the environment in which a stair
edging is to be used as this will determine the level of slipresistance required in order to reduce the risk of slips and falls
on stairs.
Selection of the correct insert - the slip-resistant element of the
stair edging – will help to minimise the risk of accidents. Select
from the following environments to ensure that you choose the
right Gradus insert.
Material
Aluminium
Provides a hardwearing, functional
option suitable for both interior and
exterior locations.
Interior Stairs that are likely to stay Dry
Stairs in interior environments that are not at risk of becoming
wet i.e. from walked in moisture or spillage. Select Interior
insert for these applications (see page 13).
Interior Stairs that are at risk of
becoming Wet
Through walked in moisture if close to an entrance or through
spillage of drinks e.g. in a canteen, pub or restaurant. Select
Xtra-grip insert for these applications (see page 13).
Interior Stairs that are at risk of becoming
Wet and are subject to frequent cleaning
As above but particularly relevant in environments such as
catering and food preparation areas. Select Xtra-grip Plus
insert for these applications (see page 13).
Exterior Stairs
External stairs subject to everyday outdoor use require a stair
edging that can offer slip-resistance whilst being resistant to
weathering from the elements.
Bronze
Provides a hardwearing option
suitable for both interior and exterior
locations, and is particularly suitable
for prestigious locations.
PVC-u
Ideal for interior environments.
Allows channel and insert to be
colour matched to provide a single,
solid band to visually contrast with
the surrounding floorcovering,
meeting the guidance in Approved
Document M of The Building
Regulations 2000 and BS8300:2009
+A1:2010.
Select Exterior insert for these applications (see page 13).
Chrome
Note: For extreme exterior conditions a profile from the Gradus
Trans-Edge heavy duty range should be selected (see page 50).
Provides a modern, hi-tech finish for
interior environments.
Level of Traffic
Profile options
The volume of traffic on stairs will determine the correct stair
edging to select. Heavier gauge stair edgings, or stair edgings
with double or multiple channels, should be used when steps
are subject to heavy traffic, e.g. railway stations, supermarkets,
department stores, secondary and further education
establishments and major hospitals.

Shape of Step
Gauge
It is important to select the correct stair edging for the shape of
the step. The stair edging selected should be a tight fit to the
step to ensure that the profile does not lift or rock during use.
It is important to ensure that the gauge (thickness) of the stair
edging is suitable for use with the surrounding floorcovering.
The gauge of the stair edging should be a flush finish to the
floorcovering to avoid a trip hazard being created.
There are four main stair edging shapes to select from.
Square
When used with soft floorcoverings such as carpet and
carpet tile, the gauge should achieve a flush finish with the
compressed thickness of the floorcovering.
Gradus offers a range of gauges to suit the majority of
commercial floorcoverings (see below).
Ramp Back
Rake Back
Typically used with resilient floorcoverings or where there is
no floorcovering. When used with resilient flooring, ramp
back profiles should be installed on top of the floorcovering to
ensure a safe fit.
2mm – 3mm
Typically used with resilient floorcoverings.
Kinked Face
4mm – 5mm
For use on square and
some rake back stairs
Typically used with carpet/carpet tile or resilient flooring with a
bevelled underlay (see page 48) in heavy use areas.
6mm
Typically used with carpet or carpet tile.
Bullnose
7mm - 10mm
Typically used with carpet, wood, ceramics and other heavy
duty floorcoverings.
10mm – 15mm
Typically used with ceramics, stone and marble.
Tread (going)
The depth of the tread (going) will also have an influence on the
stair edging selected. Single channel stair edgings are ideal
for use on treads up to 300mm deep. Double and multiple
channel stair edgings may be more suitable for stairs that have
a large going, especially if they are subject to heavy volumes of
foot traffic.
When specifying double channel stair edgings, both inserts
should be of the same colour, and be of a contrasting colour to
the surrounding floor finish.

Types of Insert
Slip-resistance & Performance
An insert provides a surface that creates friction between the sole of the shoe and the step edge, hence providing slip-resistance and
reducing the risk of slips on stairs.
All Gradus inserts:
•Are independently tested to ensure optimum performance throughout the life of the product. Inserts are tested for slip-resistance
(Health & Safety Laboratory), surface roughness and chemical/bacterial/fungal resistance.
•Achieve wear classifications (tested by SATRA) of:
Group T - Class 34 - Commercial Very Heavy
Test results, see page 14 for full details.
Group T - Class 43 - Light Industrial Heavy
•Are measured for Light Reflectance Values (LRVs) to provide a visual contrast to ensure the step edge is clearly visible
(see pages 15-17 for colour availability and LRV values).

Stair Edging Colours
The range of stair edging colours from Gradus provides a comprehensive solution allowing specifiers and users to achieve visual
contrast in line with recommendations in The Building Regulations 2000 - Approved Document M - “Access to and use of buildings” and
BS8300:2009 + A1:2010 (see page 136).
The colours have been developed to provide a wide choice of visual contrast with matching colours for both insert and channel. All colours
have been measured for light reflectance/visual contrast (LRV using the CIE Y value - see page 134).
For channel and insert availability by range see individual profile pages.

PVC-u Hardnose® - Stair Edgings
Gradus Hardnose® is an extensive range of attractive and hardwearing stair
edgings comprising coloured PVC-u channels and matching slip-resistant pvc
inserts. Selecting the channel and insert in the same colour provides the ideal
solution for creating a single solid band of colour, that visually contrasts with
the surrounding floorcovering, to define the step edge in line with Approved
Document M, BS8300 : 2009 + A1 : 2010 and BRE (see page 136).

Guide to Stair Trims & Welded Corners
Description
Welded corners are designed to form a neat and attractive edge
around the open end of a step by concealing the edge of the
floorcovering and stair edging.
Welded corners are supplied pre-welded to suit the angle between the riser
and tread of the step (78°- 90°). They are available in a variety of gauges to
suit different floorcoverings. Welded corners are available with either a fixed
flange or separate fixing clips as shown on the opposite page. When
selecting the appropriate welded corner the thickness of the screed,
the floorcovering and the combined thickness of the stair edging
riser and floorcovering must be considered to ensure a neat
finish. Profiles are also available in longer lengths to
be used as trimming strips on landings etc.
XT range
For details on XT side trims and
welded corners refer to page 46
(Aluminium and PVC-u Hardnose).
In addition to welded corners a range
of specialist stair trims can be
found on the following
pages (44 to 49).
D
A
Nap Trim
D
B
C
Aluminium or bronze nap trims (see
page 49) available with or without carpet
gripper, butt joint to the back edge of
the stair edging to form a neat finish
to the floorcovering. Ideal for use with
Axminster or other woven backed carpets.
The top is closed using a block of wood
and a rubber mallet.
Fixed with screws and adhesive.
Mitre Joint
Welded corners with TC2 clips
must be mitred. TAC42
should also be mitred.
Type of Jointing
Butt Joint
Two adjoining welded corners
can be butt jointed for all
corners with TC1 clips and
fixed tabs.
42
Note
To achieve an optimum finish the angle
between each riser and tread should
be the same. Remedial work may need
to be undertaken prior to installation to
achieve this.
TA5B to suit up to 3.5mm
resilient floorcoverings
3 Designs to choose from
Welded Corner with Fixed Flange
(page 44)
Welded corners are fabricated using a trimming strip
of the correct gauge to suit the thickness of the
floorcovering. Different types of trimming strip can be
combined on the tread and riser to accommodate the
combined thickness of the floorcovering and riser of
the stair edging e.g. TA5B (tread)/TA5 (riser). Welded
corners are fixed with a proprietary cartridge adhesive.
Note: the use of a latex screed to disguise the fixing
flange may be required when using vinyl or linoleum.

GA
Welded Corner with TC1 Clips
UG

(page 45)
HT42, HXT42, MT42, TA42, TAC42 and TAXT42
all use the TC1 clip which is adjustable to
provide an upstand of 6mm, 8mm or 10mm
on the tread or riser.
The clip is positioned in one of
the grooves using two clips
per tread and one per
riser and the side trim
is then fixed on with
proprietary cartridge
adhesive. When this
has cured the clip is
removed. Different
clip positions can be
used on the tread and
riser to allow for the
combined thickness of
the floorcovering and
riser of the stair edging.

Side Trims and Welded Corners for XT Stair Edgings
Side trims and welded corners are designed to form a neat and attractive edge around
the open end of a step by concealing the edge of the floorcovering and stair edging.
Gradus side trims TA42, TA5B and HT42 can be ordered in straight lengths for on-site
fabrication or can be supplied as pre-formed welded corners TAXT42, TAXT5B and
HXT42. When ordered as TAXT42/TAXT5B/HXT42 the apex of the welded corner is
contoured to a rounded edge to match the curved edge design of the XT stair edging
profiles, providing a flush, neat finish.

Bevelled Underlay
BU200
Bevelled underlay is a flexible pvc material used as a diminishing strip
and is ideal for building up resilient floorcoverings for use with 5mm
stair edgings.
This is an ideal solution where a heavy-duty stair edging is required
with a resilient floorcovering.
Grooves along the length of the underlay provide a straight cutting
edge at points where the thickness gives ideal height adjustment.
Diagram shows BU200 bevelled
underlay being used to build up a
3.2mm linoleum to ensure a flush finish
with the back edge of a G11 stair
edging (5mm gauge).
Bevelled underlay is fitted with a proprietary contact adhesive and it is
advisable to feather the tapered edge with a thin layer of latex cement.
