TreadSafe Stainless Steel For Motability
External staircases and landings at Mobility Headquarters
The Challenge
Following the initial TreadSafe installation, Motability required further upgrades to remaining staircases and adjacent landings. The objective was to ensure consistent safety across all external access points, with surfaces capable of withstanding high pedestrian traffic and extreme weather conditions.
The Solution
Porcher Abrasive Coatings applied TreadSafe stainless steel treads coatings with 30-grit abrasive, offering a robust, high-performance anti-slip surface. The system was extended to all remaining staircases and landings, creating a uniform, safe environment for all visitors and personnel.
The Outcome
- High-Performance Abrasive Coating: Provides superior slip resistance in wet, icy, and heavy-use conditions.
- Weather-Resistant Finish: Protects both personnel and stair surfaces from damage caused by the elements.
- Low Maintenance: Daily washing with hard surface cleaners is sufficient, with abrasive grit and bright yellow paint maintaining appearance and performance.
- Enhanced Accessibility: Bright yellow leading edges improve visibility for visually impaired visitors, supporting compliance with Disability Discrimination Act 2004.
- Future-Proofing: Motability plans to extend TreadSafe coverage to areas such as floors in front of intercoms, improving navigation for visually impaired users.
Conclusion
- The upgraded TreadSafe installation delivered comprehensive safety and peace of mind, protecting staff and visitors while providing a durable, low-maintenance, and high-visibility anti-slip solution. The bright yellow coating remains as vibrant as the day it was installed, demonstrating the long-lasting quality and reliability of the TreadSafe system.
