STAIR NOSING FOR TITLE 24 COMPLIANCE
Amstep Products increases your ground’s safety factor for all users.
Stair Nosing For Title 24 Compliance
In 2008, the California Energy Commission passed Title 24, a code that greatly impacts building standards and general industry safety orders. The title affects many aspects of existing stairways and future stairwell construction, and aims to provide safer environments for the visually impaired.
Title 24 mandates that all stair nosing be equipped with visual contrast to prevent accidents for those who are visually impaired. Each tread or nosing must have a contrasted color to differentiate between the step and the tread. The strip must measure two inches wide while remaining parallel to the nosing of each step and must possess anti-slip features. In addition to these requirements, the tread must be placed no further than one inch from the nosing of the step.
Amstep’s Series #224A safety strip meets California Title 24 requirements. It combines superior anti slip technology with the visual contrast needed to comply with state regulations. It is available with a continuous extruded anchor or drilled and countersunk with holes for anchoring into steel, wood or stone. It is available in any contrasting or complimentary color.
Amstep Stair Safety Products
Stair nosing and stair treads are value-added components that are commonly utilized on stairways and other walking surfaces. Each of our products are designed with anti-slip capabilities to decrease the likelihood of falling for pedestrians and other traffic sources. These treads yield several benefits because of their structural durability as well as their high-friction coefficient. Amstep stair safety products are used in high traffic areas such as schools, hospitals, airports and other public areas.

SERIES 300 Stair Treads
Amstep 300 Series stair nosings go over existing stairs and provide 3 to 5 inches of durable non slip surface superior to standard rubber stair treads. They can go over worn out existing embedded stair nosing or provide a new non slip front edge to a worn or slippery step. They can go over wood, metal and even vinyl stairs. They come in many colors and provide a visual contrast to the front edge of your steps. They are also available with Sightline and Glowline options for increased visibility even in the dark.

The Amstep 500 series safety stair treads, for renovating existing staircases, is crafted from heavy-duty extruded aluminum and fitted with our exclusive, anti-slip, abrasive particle composite. Available in sizes ranging from 8″ to 11″. Deeper steps can be accommodated with multiple pieces (contact our sales department). These easy-to-install high grip treads provide an affordable option for improving stairway safety and providing long-lasting durability beyond what rubber stair treads can provide.
SERIES 700 Stair Treads
Heavy duty factories, industrial areas and greasy environments need more grip; many customers turn to our 700 Series aluminum stair treads. Originally developed for use in mass transit systems, these treads can withstand the severe industrial conditions and heavy traffic. They are specially designed to disperse liquids, dirt, and other contaminants without delaminating or cracking like a lower quality rubber stair tread. These treads are offered in 8 to 11 inch depths and can be configured to cover stairs’ depths even greater than 11 inches.
