* IMPACT RESISTANT
* BARRIER-FREE
* ANTI-SLIP SURFACE
* ECONOMICAL

Choice of color enhances the appeal of these handsome
safety stair nosings. Designed for heavy duty use indoors
and outdoors, these safety nosings meet and exceed all
OSHA and Barrier-Free requirements.

IMPACT RESISTANT: These nosings are manufactured
from an extruded aluminum base filled with a mixture of
anti-slip abrasive granules in an advanced formula epoxy
binder. Their remarkable strength is capable of absorbing
heavy impact.

BARRIER-FREE: The designs shown are in compliance
with the Barrier-Free Code, ensuring those physically
impaired complete access to public buildings.

ANTI-SLIP SURFACE: Each abrasive-filled rib projects
above the aluminum base for the greatest exposure of
anti-slip surface in any tread now being produced in the
United States.

CHOICE OF COLOR: Colors are locked into the epoxy
abrasive mixture and will not fade or wear off, maintaining
a rich color to blend with any decor.

ECONOMICAL: Using our exclusive automated filling
machinery, these extruded base safety nosings are
manufactured et three times the speed of ordinary
methods. This labor saving method reduces cost

State of California Title 24
Safety strip for the visually
impaired

The State of California stripping code for the visually impaired, calls for all stair treads to have an ant-slip strip of contrasting color 2 inches wide, parallel to and not more than 1 inch from the front nose of each step.

Our TYPE 24 safety strip meets all the requirements of California Title 24. It is available with extruded anchor for poured stairs and with holes for anchoring into wood or stone.

Specify American Safety Tread TYPE 24 to meet the California code.

Replaceable Two Stage System

This system allows easy replacement of the safety nosing. Our TP-311 is made of two components consisting of the same high quality extruded aluminum and epoxy abrasive filler as our other extruded stair nosings. The sub channel is shipped with a pre-fabricated plywood board ready for installation in poured concrete stairs. Prior to final stages of construction, the plywood board is removed and the safety tread is fastened to the sub channel. The safety tread can be replaced with a new unit at any time after initial installation.
