Winter in the UK poses challenges with unpredictable weather changes, demanding a year-round preparation for outdoor spaces. High slip resistance and visibility are key elements in ensuring that external staircases are safe to use all year round.
While some Heavy-duty stair nosings are more cost-effective, such as our GRP range, they also compromise on style. We believe that style and functionality can coexist seamlessly, even in external and frequented public spaces hence we’ve developed our Olympic stair nosing range as the perfect solution.
In bustling cities with the constantly emerging new outdoor spaces and the development of expansive apartment complexes, the demand for high-quality, functional, and stylish design has never been more pronounced. Our Olympic range of stair nosings and stair tread inserts offer a comprehensive range of products to choose from to elevate the aesthetics of your outdoor spaces.
What is Carborundum Infill?
Olympic Carborundum is mostly made up of crystalline Aluminium Oxide, otherwise known as Corundum; the second hardest mineral on the *Mohs Scale to industrial diamond. This hardness ensures durability when used in stair products which are required to withstand heavy footfall and the naturally angular shape of its grain is ideal for providing anti-slip in wet environments.
In Olympic Carborundum Infill, the Aluminium Oxide grains are contained within a carefully formulated resin and hardener mixture which, when cured, not only binds the grains together but also binds the whole of the infill to the host stair nosing profile. The result is an integral product which is impervious to water ingress.
The inclusion of Aluminium Oxide throughout the whole of infill ensures that the installed product offers effective slip resistance long after other products in which it is incorporated only as a surface layer.
Function Over Style:
Style and functionality can coexist, even in external spaces. External stair nosings, while serving a practical purpose, can elevate the aesthetics of your outdoor areas.
With the constantly emerging new outdoor spaces, and the development of expansive apartment complexes, the demand for high-quality, functional design has never been more pronounced.
Consider your external nosings not just as safety elements but as distinctive features contributing to your overall design, becoming a defining element of your outdoor space.
