This
area was looking tired, unfortunately there are no before pictures but
the previous carpet had seen better days and the steps had no stair
edging profiles.
As you can see from the picture the new
carpet Supplied by Wolff Contract Carpet (Universal Lite Range) offers
and attractive and modern type of carpet pile which is in contrast to
the previous old and dated needlepunch type.
The new stair edgings
were installed with contrasting white inserts to conform with DDA
regulations. The smaller steps at either end of each level have had the
mitre joints cut and welded together at the manufacturer's factory
prior to installation to ensure not only a neat joint but also to be
sure there were no sharp/rough edges which might offer potential
dangers to the students.
