What is Light Reflective Value (LRV)?
CAT (Carpet Accessory Trims) Limited
The definition of Light Reflective Value (LRV) is the percentage of light something reflects, this can be affected by the colour and texture of an item. White would be 100% as it reflects 100% of the light, whereas black would be considered 0% as it reflects none of the light. Light Reflective Value is used to predict how light or dark something will appear, and therefore how easy it will be to see it.
One of the most important reasons behind measuring the LRV and ensuring you are adhering to regulations is so that people who are partially sighted can see the contrast in where one step ends and the one below begins. If there is not a 30-point difference, then it makes it a lot more difficult for people who are partially sighted to see the contrast in stair edge.
Slip Resistance Values (SRVs)
CAT (Carpet Accessory Trims) Limited
Slip resistance values are a measure of how much grip a surface provides, especially in wet and slippery conditions. One critical element in achieving this safety is the slip resistance of stair nosings.
For stairs, slip resistance is crucial to prevent accidents. In the UK, the Building Regulations and the Workplace (Health, Safety, and Welfare) Regulations place an emphasis on the importance of safe staircases. Slip-resistant stair nosings are a fundamental part of meeting these requirements.

What are Stair Nosings & are they a legal requirement?
CAT (Carpet Accessory Trims) Limited
Stair Nosings are covers, made from a variety of materials such as aluminium or brass, that envelope the edge of each step on a staircase. Stair Nosings can be used as a solution to providing sufficient grip to stop people from slipping in high-traffic or wet environments. They can also be used to highlight the edge of the step so that people can see it better, this can be done using a variety of infill options, such as our castellated PVC infills, which come in a variety of colours, so that you can ensure you are adhering to Light Reflective Values (which is a legal requirement as of 2010).
