BBS Carpet Tile Straight Ramp

Safe, reliable transitions

BBS carries a large inventory of floor trims and transitions to join different types of flooring smoothly and to edge between floors and walls. All our products are constructed to meet strict fire, slip and access standards.

A transition for every application.

Our transitions meet the BCA and Australian Standards, allowing them to be used in residential and commercial applications. We design and make trims for supermarkets, shopping centres, loading docks, hotels, offices, commercial kitchens, sporting facilities, hospitals, aged care, and more. Lower-quality trims installed in transition areas can pose hazards to customers and clients. BBS’s trims meet all relevant standards.

Ideal for contractors

We design and test all our trims to be installation-friendly so that you won’t waste time when you could be attending to other clients. Whatever industry you serve, you can rely on BBS’s transitions to perform.

Stair nosings must not project beyond the face of the riser

They should sit flush with the riser. ‘Bullnosings’ and other projecting nosings are not compliant.

The leading edge of the stair nosing must either be sharp, or no more than a 5mm chamfer or radius.

With a sharp edge

(not overhanging the riser)

No more than a 5mm chamfer

No more than a 5mm radius

Stair nosings must have a single luminance contrast strip between 50mm and 75mm wide.

The luminance contrast strip can be set back up to 15mm from the leading edge

The luminance contrast strip must have a colour contrast of >30% to the background

Colour contrast is determined by comparing the Luminance Reflective Values (LRVs) of the luminance contrast strip to the background using an online calculator. LRVs go from 1 (black) to 100 (white). Floor coverings come with LRV certificates. LRVs for our luminance contrast strips are shown below. Use the ‘wet’ or ‘dry’ reading as appropriate.

LRV (wet): 3.51

LRV (dry): 3.71

LRV (wet): 14.26

LRV (dry): 14.31

LRV (wet): 42.12

LRV (dry): 43.57

The luminance contrast should not extend down the riser more by than 10mm

Where the nosing face is greater than 10mm it produces its own colour contrast and LRV. With 3 LRVs’ (nosing, contrast strip and background) you can’t get one clear contrast.

However… the LRV for the nosing can be ignored where the face is 10mm or less, or where the stair nosing LRV is the same as the background LRV. Since it is uncommon for nosing to colour match with the background stair or floor covering, compliance is easier to achieve with a 10mm face on the nosing.
