The Importance of Flooring Accessories

Safety

Any staircase poses a potential slip or trip hazard to the public.  The use of the correct Shaw edgings can mean the difference between a safe working or public environment and costly accident insurance claims.  Likewise, the Clip-Top range provides a safe transition from one floor finish to another.

Design and Beauty

Good choice of colors and materials is required to match the extensive choice of carpets now offered.

Durability

Premature wearing of carpets can occur if adequate protection is not provided by a step edge.  The transition strips provide suitable protection for the floor covering edges.

Specifying stair edgings

Stair edgings should perform three basic functions:

1. To act as a visual contrast to the step edge.
2. To provide a safe reassuring feel underfoot.
3. To prevent the premature wear of carpet or smooth floor coverings.
