Description
Tredsafe DDA Compliant Aluminium Stair Nosing – Aluminator Range
Step Protection with Photoluminescent Safety Illumination
The Tredsafe Aluminator Stair Nosing delivers more than just edge protection—it’s a safety-critical solution designed to enhance stair visibility in low-light or emergency situations. Engineered to meet DDA compliance and BS8300 / Part M building regulations, this nosing supports safe evacuation by clearly defining stair edges when lighting fails.
Powered by photoluminescent inserts, the system charges under regular ambient lighting (daylight, fluorescent, or tungsten) and glows in the dark—no electrical wiring or power supply required. In an emergency, the illuminated strips assist users in navigating staircases safely and confidently.
