Anti - slipping mats for stairs - take care of your safety

Stairs, terraces and balconies are usually made of materials resistant to frost but anti-slipping safety is not that obvious. Snow, mud and rain can agglomerate on surfaces and make them really slippery. To improve safety we recommend to use special mats made of low aluminium profiles and brush.

Anti-slip stair mats built for outdoors

Outdoor stair safety matting has to deal with freeze-thaw cycles that expand and contract fixing points, UV exposure, and standing water. The aluminium profiles handle all of this without corroding, or warping.

Unlike rubber or adhesive-backed stair treads that peel away from the surface after a season or two, anti-slip stair mats stay fixed and flat regardless of temperature swings. The brush inserts sit deep enough in the profile that they do not get displaced by wind.

We offer mats designed especially for stairs and other surfaces like platforms etc. If you are interested in them please contact us.

We offer: Anti-slipping mats Unimat 10 BL/S — made of aluminium profiles with special, dense brushes in black color. Those mats are finished from the front with a ramp that protects against tripping. The method of montage depends on type of surface and other conditions.

Installation of the anti-slip stair mats

The installation of the anti-slip mats for stairs starts with thorough surface preparation. The stairs have to be clean, level, and free from damage. Regular cleaning removes trapped debris. Check the brushes from time to time. Seasonal deep cleaning may be necessary in areas with heavy foot traffic.

Getting the right size for your stair mats is important to keep people safe. You will need to measure your stairs carefully before ordering. Check how wide they are and how deep each step is. Do not forget to measure the front edge of the step that sticks out.

The anti-slipping mats for stairs are worth installing in apartment buildings, schools, hospitals, shopping centers, office buildings, hotels, restaurants, care homes for the elderly, and other public institutions.

Cleaning of the stair mats

Regular cleaning helps the stair mats last longer. The brush strips catch dirt, leaves, and other bits that people bring in on their shoes. With time, debris accumulates and the stairs do not grip as well.

For everyday cleaning, you can simply sweep or vacuum the mats to remove loose dirt and leaves. You can use a stiff brush to scrub between the brush strips. This helps get out anything that is stuck in the bristles. For a deep clean, use a pressure washer. Spray between the aluminium strips to flush out any stubborn dirt. After washing, let the mats dry completely.

Why do anti-slipping mats for stairs matter?

A staircase that looks safe in dry conditions becomes a serious hazard the moment temperature drops.

Stair safety matting that protects people and reduces liability

Stairway accidents are among the most common household and workplace incidents. Anti-slipping stair mats protect visitors from dangerous slips and falls. Morning dew, rain, fallen leaves, ice and debris become treacherously slippery.

Smooth finishes on stone stairs provide minimal grip. Condensation creates a slick surface. Use of cleaning detergents increases the risk of slipping. That is why it is worth to install non-slip mats.

The R13 anti-slip stair mats represent one of the highest levels of slip resistance and reduce the liability of the owner of the place. The cost of installing anti-slip stair mats is much lower than dealing with the consequences of an accident.

Anti-slipping mats are durable

Anti-slipping mats will not rust or corrode. The dense brush provides reliable grip. At the same time, it removes dirt and moisture from footwear. For standard entryways, pair them with aluminium interior doormats.

Anti slip stair mats help you meet building safety regulations

Installing certified stair safety matting with an R13 rating is one of the simplest ways to bring an existing staircase into compliance without any structural alterations.

FAQ: Anti Slip Stair Mats

Why do stairs need dedicated anti slip stair mats?

Anti slip stair mats cover the front edge of each step and prevent tripping. A standard mat cannot provide that.

What anti-slip rating does the stair safety matting carry?

The Unimat 10 BL/S achieves an R13 rating, the highest anti-slip classification available. It also meets the Bfl-s1 fire reaction standard.

Can anti slip stair mats be used outdoors?

Yes. The stair safety matting made of aluminium resists frost, rain and UV exposure without corroding.
