Design Safer Stairs and Walkways Into Every Construction Project
Design safer stairs, ramps, and walkways without compromising aesthetics
Slip risk in finished and transitional spaces
Construction and architectural projects often introduce slip hazards at handover and occupancy. Smooth finishes, exposed stair edges, exterior transitions, and code-driven access routes can become liability points if traction is not addressed early in the design.
Construction / Architectural Firms
Construction and architectural projects balance safety, appearance, and compliance. Slip risks often appear at finished staircases, entryways, ramps, balconies, and public access routes where smooth materials, weather exposure, and heavy foot traffic intersect. Specifying slip resistance early helps prevent costly retrofits and reduces long-term liability.

For staircases and step edges, aluminium stair nosings, treads and strips are commonly specified to improve visibility, edge definition, and grip while maintaining a clean architectural finish. In corrosive, exterior, or high-moisture environments, FRP stair nosings and treads provide durable traction with strong resistance to weather and chemicals.
Ramps, access routes, and flat circulation areas benefit from anti slip solutions for walkways, ramps, and flat surfaces, especially where accessibility and building codes apply. During new builds or renovations, anti slip construction products allow slip resistance to be integrated directly into the build rather than added later.
Architects, designers, and contractors use these products to meet safety requirements while preserving visual intent, helping projects pass inspections, reduce future claims, and deliver safer spaces from day one.
FAQs
Many products are designed to blend into modern architectural finishes, with clean profiles, color options, and low-visual-impact installations that support design intent.
Yes. Many Safety Step Canada products are suitable for specification in drawings and schedules, reducing the need for post-construction fixes.
Yes. Products are commonly used on exterior stairs, ramps, and access paths where weather exposure and accessibility compliance are critical.
