General description:

Our QA5 ramped edge is designed and manufactured in the UK as part of the modular range to work along side our heavy duty nosing profiles. Manufactured from hardened aluminium, and available in Mill finish or a lightly brushed Satin Finish, QA5 offers a ramped back edge to our modular range of nosing profiles to help remove any risk of a trip hazards.

Suitable for use both internally and externally and even the heaviest foot trafficked areas, including public access areas such as Airports, railway stations, sports stadiums, Car parks, Hotels, Schools, Outdoor areas, shopping centres, and heavy industry.

Our QA5 tapers from 7mm down to 0.5mm, and is part of the modular range designed to lock together easily with our other profiles. Pair QA5 with our QA1, QA2, or QA3 to create an effective heavy duty nosing with a ramped back edge that can be retrofitted onto pretty much any stair case, increasing slip resistance and visibility on the nosing and reducing the risk slipping or tripping .

QA5 Installation:

The QA5 profile is part of the heavy-duty modular nosing range, designed for commercial and industrial environments. Therefore, correct installation is vital to its performance. We recommend that you assess the installation substrate fully before fitting. It should be sound and reasonably level. Any remedial work must take place before installation.

QA5 is fixed with other nosing profiles where the over-lock of a nosing such as QA1 clamps down on the under-lock on the edge of QA5 and secures it in place. We recommend QA5 should be fitted with a Screw fix through an adjoining nosing and that the QA5 be bedded with a suitable adhesive, such as our Multitread Adhesive, This ensures stability and minimises the risk of tripping or injury. This also provides peace of mind for every user and ensures the soundest installation possible.

We recommend using stainless steel screws with countersunk heads. These will best suit the standard pre-drilled holes provided on our profiles if requested. Upon request we can supply fixing needed for your application method.

The adhesive you choose should be suitable for external use. Always use in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. When only fixing with adhesive, we recommend you use a product with high-strength mechanical properties which has been specifically designed for structural bonding. Cartridge adhesives that are typically used for fixing decorative nosings such as Gripfill or F32 are not recommended.

For full fitting instructions on the QA5 as part of the Modular range please refer to our installation guide.

If you have any questions about installing the QA5 profile, get in touch with the team here today who will be happy to help.
