Anti-slip stair treads are the key to safe movement
In winter, a crust of ice forms on the steps leading into the building, which seriously complicates movement on them. As a rule, builders use materials such as marble, granite, etc. for steps. And their surface, exposed to precipitation, begins to pose a danger. It becomes slippery and getting injured on such a staircase becomes only a matter of time. Smooth steps inside the building also cannot be called absolutely safe.

To avoid incidents, building owners use anti-slip pads on nurse data steps. This is the element of the staircase design that you should not skimp on. What is it? It can be a strip made of elastic material that is attached to a metal base. It is installed on site during the cladding work, but it can always be fixed afterwards.

The main purpose of anti-slip stair treads is to protect people from injury due to slipping. They also have another task - to protect the surface of the steps from chips, cracks and scratches. For the manufacture of these products, as a rule, a material is used that resists the effects of sunlight, temperature changes and is fire resistant.


The performance properties of the pads depend entirely on the material they are made of.

Rubber
To ensure safety when pedestrians move on slippery surfaces, rubber is often used in the manufacture of pads. It must be highly elastic and prevent uncontrolled sliding.

In addition, the rubber from which the pads are made is resistant to temperature fluctuations. It does not lose its elasticity even at -50oC. When a person steps on it, it is pressed in and thus creates an obstacle to sliding.
