Why not consider the safety aspects by installing these retrofit stair nosings which not only increase the slip resistance at the edge of the step but provide a visual reference to the stair edge for partially sighted users too.
Stair nosings are cover strips which are laid over the leading edge or “nose” of a step. These retrofitted stair nosings can have a dual purpose, not only being the reduction of slip and fall accidents but the protection of the stair edging from breakage or chipping too. Non-Slip.co.za stock two types of stair nosing being aluminium and fibreglass.

Sea-salt, light sand and dust mixed with rain to make a deadly environment as some residents and visitors have found out. The slippery steps were so dangerous that young children would not walk down the steps without the help of their parents. You can change that! Feel confident and safe by installing anti-slip grit tape.
Recently a Property Management Company, on behalf of the Body Corporate, called Non-Slip.co.za to see if we could solve a problem at a group of multi-storey flats. One lady had recently slipped down stairs resulting in a large cut on her upper foot and now has an unsightly scar.
This anti-slip solution erodes “pock marks” in the glazed surface of the tile. These pock marks with a liquid causes a vacume type environment when stepped on with your bare foot or soft soled show. This then ensures superior grip!
These anti-slip tile treatment solutions should not be confused with coating products that sit on top of tiles. Anti-slip coatings wear off and leave you with the same problem of slippery wet tiles.
The more advanced solutions ensure maximum grip that increases with an increase in water or fluid, effectively making them safer as more water accumulates. Where the anti-slip paints and anti-skid varnishes sit on the surface of the tiles, this anti slip solution reacts with the silicates in the glazed or hardened surface of the tile.
The idea is to keep the solution on the peaks of the “hills”, rather than the valleys, that are naturally formed during the baking process of the tiles. The application process will widen and deepen the microscopic pores. When the tile is slippery with water, your shoe or bare foot squashes the water out of the pore and grips to the surface just like a tire does to a wet road thus reducing the likelihood of a slip.
