SlipNOT® stainless steel nosing used in a commercial setting.

A SlipNOT® metal stair nosing is a time and cost efficient way to transform a dangerous stairway into a safe stairwell.  When walking down a stairway, shoes usually make contact with the same area on a step, the lip. A SlipNOT® metal stair nosing incorporates slip resistance onto the lip or front edge of the stair that becomes worn due to heavy constant traffic. 

According to OSHA standard 1910.24(f) “All treads shall be reasonably slip-resistant and the nosings shall be of non-slip finish”.  SlipNOT® provides a permanent non-slip finish that will last for years in comparison to painted on or taped on products that may only last for months.  SlipNOT® is a plasma stream deposition process applying molten metal to a metal substrate.  This patented process results in a unique random hatch matrix surface.  This surface provides the longest wear life and maximum slip resistance available.

A SlipNOT® metal stair nosing can be used for indoor or outdoor applications, from fire escapes to commercial office buildings.  To meet the needs of any project, a metal stair nosing is available in steel, stainless steel and aluminum with a variety of finishes.  For example, a galvanized steel metal stair nosing is ideal for outdoor applications and painted yellow steel metal stair nosing is often used for applications that require added visibility.
