Anti-Slip Staircase & Stair Nosing Solutions for Commercial & Industrial Sites

Stairs are among the most frequently used access points in workplaces and public buildings, and a common location for slips, trips and falls. In industrial and commercial settings, staircases are often exposed to heavy foot traffic, moisture and general wear, increasing the risk of accidents. 

Common stair hazards include: 

• Wet or contaminated surfaces from water, oil or chemicals
• Smooth stair materials offering limited traction
• Worn or damaged stair edges
• Poor lighting or low visual contrast between steps
• Heavy traffic causing degradation over time

Installing high-performance anti-slip staircase solutions and durable stair nosings helps address these risks. Slip-resistant surfaces improve grip, while clearly defined nosings enhance visibility and protect step edges from wear, helping maintain safe access routes and prolong the life of the staircase.

Why Anti-Slip Stairs Matter

---

In busy workplaces, a single slip or trip can cause injury, operational delays and potential legal and reputational consequences. Investing in professionally installed anti-slip stairs significantly reduces these risks while creating a safer environment for staff and visitors. 

Some of the most common stair hazards and our slip-resistant solutions are:

Hazard	Anti-Slip Requirement
Wet or oily steps	High-grit resin coating or textured anti-slip surface
Worn stair edges	Durable stair nosings with embedded grip
Low visibility step edges	High-contrast colour nosings
Heavy foot traffic	Industrial-grade aluminium or composite nosings
Chemical exposure	Resin or composite slip-resistant surfaces
Dim lighting	Reflective or high-visibility nosing strips

Mitigating Slip, Trip and Fall Risks

Stair surfaces naturally wear down over time. Heavy foot traffic can smooth step edges and reduce grip, increasing the risk of slips – especially when moisture, dust, oils or cleaning chemicals are present.

Installing industrial anti-slip stairs provides reliable traction through textured tread, slip-resistant coatings and durable nosings. Professionally installed anti-slip staircase solutions also help organisations reduce liability risks and maintain safer workplaces.

Compliance with Health & Safety Regulations and Standards

Employers and building operators have a legal duty to maintain safe access routes within their facilities. Staircases must provide adequate traction, clear visibility and structural integrity to minimise risks. 

Installing compliant anti-slip stairs helps organisations meet these obligations by: 

• Providing slip-resistant walking surfaces
• Improving step visibility with high-contrast nosings
• Protecting stair edges from deterioration
• Ensuring durability in high-traffic environments

Professional safe stair nosing installation ensures that nosings are securely fixed, correctly aligned and designed to perform under expected loads and usage conditions.

Our Anti-Slip Stair & Nosing Solutions

---

At Impact Flooring, we provide a range of high-performance anti-slip staircase solutions tailored to suit different environments, stair materials and operational requirements. Our systems are designed for durability, safety compliance and long-term performance. 

Resin-Based Anti-Slip Staircases and Nosing Installation

Resin systems provide highly durable slip-resistant finishes that integrate seamlessly with industrial flooring systems. They are particularly effective in environments where floors are already coated with epoxy or polyurethane resin. 

Our resin staircase anti-slip systems provide:

• High-grip textured surfaces
• Chemical and moisture resistance
• Easy-clean hygienic finishes
• Long-term wear resistance

For factories with resin flooring systems, we also install specialist stair nosings for resin floors, designed to integrate with existing surfaces while maintaining slip resistance and durability. 

Metal / Aluminium or Composite Stair Nosing for Concrete or Tile Stairs

Metal and composite nosings provide robust edge protection for concrete, tiled or stone staircases. These systems are particularly effective in high-traffic environments where stair edges are subject to significant wear. 

Typical applications include: 

• Warehouses and logistics centres
• Commercial office buildings
• Retail and public access areas
• Transport hubs and service facilities

Aluminium nosings offer excellent durability and corrosion resistance, while composite systems provide additional grip in wet or chemical-prone environments. Professional safe stair nosing installation ensures these components are securely fitted and capable of withstanding heavy usage.

Custom Stair Nosing & Anti-Slip Solutions

Every staircase presents unique safety challenges depending on its design, materials and usage. Impact Flooring provides bespoke anti-slip staircase solutions tailored to each project. 

Custom options include:

• Bespoke nosing widths and profiles
• Embedded grit slip-resistant strips
• Serrated metal nosings for industrial stairs
• High-visibility hazard colours
• Contrast markings for improved visibility

These tailored solutions ensure the finished staircase meets both operational requirements and safety standards. 

Material Selection Guide

Material	Durability	Best Environment	Maintenance Level
Resin	High	Industrial, hygienic environments, resin-floored facilities	Low
Metal / Aluminium	Very High	Warehouses, heavy-traffic commercial stairs	Low
Composite	High	Wet, chemical-prone or mixed-use environments	Moderate

Where We Install Anti-Slip Stairs

---

Impact Flooring installs anti-slip stairs across a wide range of sectors where safety, durability and compliance are critical. 

Industrial & Warehouse Facilities

Industrial environments place heavy demands on staircases, with workers often carrying tools, and surfaces exposed to moisture, oils or chemicals. 

Installing industrial anti-slip stairs provides reliable traction and durability, helping maintain consistent grip in high-use environments. 

Commercial Buildings, Public Access, Retail & Offices

In offices, retail environments and public buildings, stair safety is essential for both staff and visitors. High foot traffic can quickly wear down step edges, increasing the risk of slips or trips. 

Durable nosings and anti-slip stairs help maintain safe access routes while improving the visibility of step edges. High-contrast markings also support accessibility requirements. 

Food, Pharmaceutical & Hygienic Environments

Facilities operating under strict hygiene regulations require surfaces that are both slip-resistant and easy to clean. 

Our resin staircase anti-slip systems are ideal for these environments. Resin surfaces provide seamless, non-porous finishes that resist chemicals, moisture and bacteria build-up while maintaining excellent traction.
