Anti-slip pads on wooden stairs. Protection for stairs for children: types, installation features, safety requirements Protection of stairs from mechanical influences

Wooden stairs are widespread in many cottages and country houses, urban apartments. They are beautiful and are one of the important elements house interior. Mandatory parameters of a good staircase are artistic aesthetics and ease of use. decorative coating stairs with glossy varnish gives an attractive appearance to the stairs. Unfortunately, behind this beauty, we forget about our safety - the surface of glossy steps is dangerous, any staircase is an object of increased danger for you and your loved ones. We would like to tell you about the main methods of anti-slip protection on stairs.

Carpet to stairs.

You can lay carpet on the entire staircase. A variety of colors and textures will help you choose the right solution for your interior. The tracks protect the surface of the stairs from wear and are comfortable when moving. Special holders are used for fixing carpet tracks. They are sold in stores. In the future, if you need to remove the track, you can easily do this. The ladder will not suffer much.

Anti-slip tape on steps.

Anti-slip step tapes consist of abrasive silicon carbide particles applied with a strong, wear-resistant polymer to a non-stretch plastic tape. back side anti-slip material is covered with a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive, which in turn is covered with a removable protective film.

Not better way make stairs safer than using special attributes. A prime example such are the slips on the steps anti-slip. They are relevant for stairs of any purpose.

There are many kinds and types of such elements. How to choose and install them with your own hands, we will consider in more detail.

rubber variant

Some options

Many of us, going up the stairs, did not even notice such a considered detail. Therefore, it is fair to consider what it is in general, and what it was created for.

Overlays on the steps - this is a kind of protective covering, which not only improves the functionality of the stairs, but also protects the steps themselves from premature abrasion. Many options carry a decorative load.

The main tasks that can be solved using these ladder attributes are:

  • creating a non-slip surface, preventing possible falls and injuries;
  • masking "jambs" made during the installation process;
  • protection of steps from abrasion and damage to their finishes;
  • coatings on the outer steps can also be a means of cleaning the soles of shoes from dirt;
  • increasing the aesthetics of the design of the stairs and the interior as a whole.

They are various kinds. It is this criterion that is decisive when buying such stair attributes.

Protective varieties

Protective

Protective options act as a shield, protecting them from all kinds of mechanical influences. As a rule, they are L-shaped. For street stairs, such elements are usually made of rubber or PVC. They also perform an anti-slip function.

Rubber elements

Overlays play the role of a "fuse" on the stairs in water parks. They are located on the steps where the pool. Elements of such a plan may have various design, for example, as in the photo below.

Non-slip options for the pool

Decorative

Carpet

Such overlays have high aesthetic properties. In addition, they perform protective properties. Most often they are used on wooden stairs.

They are made of high-quality carpet on a dense, usually self-adhesive basis. They can also include the already traditional carpet paths.

Anti-slip stair pads

Anti-slip patterned

Anti-slip pads on the steps are needed in order to create on smooth surface protective covering. They are available in all-rubber, aluminum-based and all-out metal profile. Silicone also has an anti-slip coating.

It is anti-slip stair elements that are very popular. They are installed on entrance groups public buildings, private houses, and just street stairs. In order for the anti-slip elements on the steps to serve for a long time, you need to choose and install them correctly.

How to choose non-slip stair linings

Anti-slip elements

You need to choose linings depending on the patency and intensity of use of the stairs. The main difference between such ladder elements is in the way they are installed and the type of material from which they are made. They can be mounted on both self-tapping screws and adhesive tape.

Aluminum varieties with a rubberized insert are intended for places with high or medium traffic, for example, in large business centers, pharmacies, nightclubs, and more.

Aluminum elements with rubberized insert

In places with high traffic, it is best to install simple aluminum options. They are distinguished by high wear resistance and good anti-slip surface. And the price for them is the lowest of the entire range.

Self-installation of anti-slip pads

Installation is a simple matter. The instruction is presented below for those who have never made their installation.

Attention! Whatever varieties you use, you need the surface of the steps to be perfectly smooth without potholes and tubercles. This is the only way to achieve a good fit and long-term operation.

Self-adhesive varieties are installed very simply - the steps are cleaned of dust and dirt, the protective layer is torn off from the adhesive tape, the element is tightly applied and smoothed with a rubber roller. It would also be nice to tap with a mallet. The main thing is to apply everything evenly and neatly. Removal and installation is not possible.

Mounting process

To install metal lining on the steps, you must also prepare the surface and make markings using the level where the stair elements will be installed. Carefully, according to the markup, “plant” them on the screws. Everything, the ladder is ready to use.

Installation

The video in this article will clearly show how the installation is performed.

Homemade types

For those who love needlework, we suggest making anti-slip slips on the steps yourself by woven or cutting them out of the carpet. In any case, you will get safe products for home stairs original and unique design.

The invention relates to means used in construction to prevent slipping of a person's foot when moving along the steps of stairs located both in closed and open spaces exposed to the environment

The device of stairs in modern residential buildings and public buildings is one of the main aspects of building improvement. Particularly much attention is paid to the design of outdoor stairs, as they are constantly exposed to natural phenomena in the form of rain, snow, icing and frost, which makes them slippery. To solve this problem, specially designed products can be used, for example, steps made of crumb rubber.

Types of anti-slip agents used in the construction of stairs

Equipping the treads of stairs with anti-slip devices called slips is the main method of constructing safe stairs. One of the main tasks in the manufacture of anti-slip elements on the surface of the porch is to preserve them. appearance according to design decision. For this purpose, the following methods are used:

  • spraying on the surface of the facing tile, performed at the stage of its manufacture;
  • production of anti-slip grooves along the edge of the surface after the main cladding;
  • the arrangement of rugs on the surface of the porch or march from a material that simultaneously serves as an anti-slip element and a cleaner of shoe soles from dirt.

Safety overlays

The most common way to create a safe surface for a porch and stairs is to use overlays. They are of the following types:

  • Aluminum tread plates in the form of a strip of rubber insert framed with an anodized aluminum profile. The profile itself serves to attach the lining to the porch or steps, and the rubber in such a device is a means of traction of shoes with the surface.

  • A profile with a rubber insert that looks like a tape. It is made of special frost-resistant rubber. This type of anti-slip profile is attached to the edge of the tread and is used for indoor and outdoor stairs.
  • Type of rubber pads in the form of an inter-tile strip made of rubber, framed plastic profile. The product is laid in the seam of the tile at the stage of facing the surface of the porch and stairs.

One-piece non-slip treads

They are considered the safest because they have a large surface area. Two main types can be distinguished:

Steps made of small crumb rubber. The manufacture of such a coating is very simple. Before finishing the surface, two self-adhesive strips are fixed on the tile, which will serve as the borders of the overlay. Between them put adhesive mixture with crumb rubber. During the day, the mixture hardens, then the tapes are removed. The mixture is made in different colors for perfect combination with tile color.

Rubber steps in the form of plates. Such a coating is an analogue of an anti-slip mat. It is laid on the surface of the steps so that the space of the tread and its corner edges are completely covered. On the outside The plates are notched to increase grip with the soles of the shoes.

Types of Anti-Slip Corner Thresholds and Their Applications

Treads are equipped with a rubber corner in order to protect against a possible fall of a person if the stairs are wet from rain or slippery from ice. Such a corner also significantly reduces the risk of serious injury in the event of a fall. Rubber is soft material, it closes the most traumatic place of the step - its end angle.

Rubber thresholds for steps, or corners, as they are commonly called, are a combination aluminum profile and rubber. This protective device has L-shape. The threshold is attached to the edge of the step with the help of dowels and self-tapping screws. In addition to the protective function, this type of nut is used as a decorative element.

Also, corner thresholds are widely used to frame the edges of the porch.

The corner profile is quite soft and resilient, it protects the edge from damage, and the person from injury in case of a fall.

Finally, the most sought-after tread-slip device in the consumer market is the self-adhesive rubber threshold. This type of corner has a layer of glue on the film on the bottom. With the help of it, the threshold is fixed to facing tiles steps or porches. As a material in the manufacture of this type of profile, in addition to aluminum, plastic is used in the form of a frame for a rubber insert.

Steps for stairs made of rubber and plastic

It should be noted that devices such as mats, sills or profiles should not be confused with rubber anti-slip or plastic steps. Treads made of rubber and plastic are products used as facings. This cladding serves as an element of the interior of the stairs and protective agent simultaneously.

Innovation is quite interesting design decision- polymer steps. They are framed with a profile for rigidity.

The treads of the flight of stairs with a laminated coating look peculiar. Structures equipped with laminated steps give individuality to the interior of the room. The material from which they are made is able to withstand heavy loads. plastic base This design has a strength that is not inferior to metal.

Plastic steps for the porch can adequately decorate the entrance of any home. Such an elegant porch can tell a lot about the owner of the cottage and his tastes. After all, every owner of a private house wants to decorate its facade so that it stands out from other houses. And this will help him the right approach in choise facing material, which should have the following properties:

  • moisture resistance;
  • the ability to withstand heavy loads;
  • resistance to sudden changes in weather conditions.

All products described in this article have, first of all, protective functions against injury to a person while moving along flights of stairs. Therefore, when constructing staircases, you should not neglect safety features such as

The requirements for stairs, both domestic and industrial, are fixed at the legislative level and regulate the rules for their use in order to avoid traumatic situations. What are they? About the rules for handling standard staircases in accordance with labor protection requirements - further.

Types of stairs and conditions that affect the ergonomics of stairs

For technical work most commonly used are portable ladders and ladders. Their advantage is obvious - they are compact, light, easy to handle, because with their transportation without special efforts one person can do it.

In addition to these, the following types of stairs are also used:

  • Mounted. They are used to penetrate into a room or a place located 130 cm above the floor or ground level, at an angle of 60-75 °. They are also easy to manufacture and operate, made of wood, lightweight aluminum or hollow tubes.
  • Stepladders. There are two variations - stationary and folding. Standard Width such a ladder, regardless of the type, is 60 cm, and the diameter constituent parts usually about 16 mm.
  • Mounting ladder. A simplified version of it is considered a design that should only be handled by skilled workers, since it does not have guards for workers. Most often it is used by welders.

Water and air transport have their own specific stairs:

  • Ladder. Serves for embarkation and disembarkation of persons, as well as for their movement around the vessel.
  • Scob ladder. Reminiscent of scaled stapler staples mounted vertically on masts, chimneys, towers, in mines. Hence the corresponding name.

Staircases include:

  • Rope ladders. Operated on children's sports grounds or in the circus (as a device for acrobatic performance). Often completely made of ropes, and the steps are made of wood.
  • Cable ladders. They are used in the economy and, if necessary, evacuate people. They also found their application in speleology. The steps are made from lightweight aluminium. The requirements for evacuation stairs are quite strict, since this type of structure is designed to save the lives of citizens in an emergency.

Factors affecting the usability of stairs:

Technical and physical requirements for the materials from which the stairs will be made

The physical properties of the material used to build the stairs must guarantee its strength.

So, for wooden stairs is not suitable wet material; it must be dried, preferably conifers, but oak, beech, birch are also suitable.

The workpiece should not have bumps, branches and cracks, and finished construction must be provided with a limiter.

Steel for stair metal structures should be distinguished by wear resistance and durability. In case of application of stainless steel for the construction of stairs, it is not necessary to use anti-corrosion agents. These structures often differ increased strength and have a long period operation.

For concrete stairs a small height difference is characteristic, but it should not cause inconvenience during use.

In pools, docks are installed plastic stairs because they tolerate moisture well.

Safety Rules for Industrial Ladder

All stairs on production facility numbered and labelled. The requirements for ladder labels are:

  • cadastral code.
  • Dates for the future strength test.
  • Code of accession to the site or workshop.

Monitoring of the physical condition of structures should be carried out by a responsible subordinate, to whom this work instructed the management of the business entity.

It is unacceptable to work with a ladder or stepladder without first visual inspection, which should confirm the absence of deformation of nodes, cracks, chips, sharp edges, scuffs, weakening of the step fasteners.

Preliminary review includes inspection of the stairs for compliance with the requirements technical regulations meaning:

  • Proper quality of impregnation;
  • The absence of cracks or the presence of minor cracks - no deeper than 0.5 cm and no longer than 10 cm;
  • Good mobility of the knees of sliding ladders, smoothness of their movement and reliability of fixation;
  • Careful fastening of the bowstring stops.

Seal cracks in an artisanal way, that is, with adhesives or putty, is prohibited.

In addition, the requirements for ladders regulate their study under stationary load. Stair metal structures and ladders pass it annually, and wooden ladder mechanisms twice a year.

Requirements for outdoor fire escapes:

  • Fire escapes must be made of non-combustible materials;
  • For them, barriers with a height of 6 m or more are provided.
  • The area for access to the roof must be at least 80 cm in length.
  • Every year the fire escape must be tested for faults.
  • After the repair of the fire escape, its commissioning without a strength test is unacceptable.

Rules for working with stairs, platforms, ladders

If you need to perform more than 130 cm from the ground, familiarization with the rules of life safety and requirements for ladders, portable ladders and ladders is mandatory.

Adult subordinates whose physical health is confirmed are allowed to work at height medical examination. Each employee working at height must undergo a safety briefing as required by GOST 12.0.004-79 and obtain a permit for independent activity.

If you have to work with a ladder in a place where a large crowd of people or their brisk movement is regularly observed, you need to protect the place of its installation in advance in order to avoid shocks and falls of the employee. To do this, the second worker patrols the place of work. If the standard fixing of the ladder to the floor cannot be realized, he must keep it in a stable position.

The upper end of the attached ladder structure is subject to careful fixation if its displacement is implied.

In the event of a fire, the hired employee is obliged to call the fire brigade, calmly ask others to move away and try to eliminate the source of fire with improvised fire extinguishing tools.

The requirements for the operation of stairs are as follows:

  • Two workers are involved in moving the stairs.
  • You can carry the ladder only with the tips backwards, loudly warning people walking.
  • One person carrying the ladder installation must hold it in an inclined position so that the top of the structure rises above the floor by at least 2 meters.
  • An employee must have a safety belt if both hands are occupied during work.
  • Wooden ladders and ladders with a length of 3 meters or more must have two metal tie bolts.
  • In wooden stairs, the steps must be cut into the bowstring and additionally fastened with bolts.

The use of wooden ladders with steps fixed with nails is prohibited.

Prohibitions on working with ladders and ladders

Work must be stopped immediately if:

Activities on stair structures are not allowed:

  • in electrical installations (if we are talking about steel structures);
  • in open areas, with wind at a speed of more than 15 meters per second;
  • with negative weather conditions(ice, snowfall, thunderstorm, fog);
  • with other factors that threaten the stability of the structure and the visibility of the employee.

Staircase testing

Ladder units must be subjected to a static weight test once or twice a year. Its meaning is as follows: a fixed weight of 120 kg is attached to the steps or to the bowstring of the structure, and after 2 minutes it is removed. During the test, there should be no creaks in the structure, it should not stagger, and after the test, the formation of external physical defects is not allowed.

The days and results of monitoring are recorded in the Journal of Accounting and Inspection of Means, Mechanisms and Devices.

Ladders are stored in dry, dark rooms to avoid damage and accidental damage to the mechanism.

Compliance with the requirements for stairs and service platforms helps to avoid becoming a victim of a situation dangerous to well-being and well-being, and strict adherence to the rules for working on stairs protects not only the employee working on stair installation but also his colleagues.
