Non-Slip Stair Nosings perform valuable safety functions in two ways. The first is to provide a safety yellow contrasting colour and the second is to provide a non-slip surface to the stair edge. These two functions combine to provide a visual stair highlight and greater stair tread grip.

Techcoat Manufacturing (a division of Techcoat Services Pty. Ltd.) manufactures and distributes a superior “Safety Yellow” range of Stair Nosings and Ladder Rung Covers. These products are based on highly durable “Fused Alumina” with the Ladder Rung Covers constructed from a preblasted, ready for adhesive aluminium substrate (rather than Galvanized Steel).

Stair Nosings come in 5 standard sizes all 50mm wide and lengths of 580mm, 730mm, 880mm, 1030, & 1180mm. Ladder Rung Covers are manufactured to suit 20mm, 25mm, 30mm & 35mm diameter ladder rungs and are cut to length required.

	Nosings based on Silicone Carbide	Nosings based on Sand, Quartz or other silica based grits	Nosings based on Fused Alumina
Colour and general appearance	A base coat of yellow speckled with black grit	Generally an even yellow colour	An even yellow colour
Non-slip grit hardness	Moh hardness of 9-9.5	Moh hardness of 7-7.5	Moh hardness of 9-9.5
Non-slip grit shape	Man made grit, sharp edges	Mined grit, more rounded edges	Man made grit, sharp edges
Non-slip grit durability	Highly durable	Fair durability	Highly durable
Advantages	A highly durable non-slip finish	Cheaper than either Silicone Carbide or Fused Alumina Nosings.	A highly durable non-slip finish that is a solid safety yellow colour and will retain its contrasting colour longer under conditions of heavy fouling
Disadvantages	A Nosing that is not uniformly yellow and as dirt collects in between the grit becomes even less yellow.	A Nosing of reduced initial non-slip properties and one that then deteriorates faster than either Silicone Carbide or Fused Alumina Nosings.	None
