Inserts

Types of insert - critical choice

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, surface roughness and chemical/bacterial/fungal resistance.
  • Achieve wear classifications of:
        Group T - Class 34 - Commercial very Heavy
        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.

The environment in which the stair edging is to be used determines the type of insert selected - see guidance below:

Interior Colours
