Staircases
Invicta designs appropriate staircases into each mezzanine floor project and provides advice regarding relevant Building Regulations. Recently introduced legislation, for example, requires that at least one Ambulant Disabled Staircase (ADS) complying with Approved Document M of the Building Regulations should be fitted to mezzanine floors used for storage, and also a lift should be provided for office use.
Invicta’s approved inspector can advise you on the regulations and show those instances where a simpler Type K staircase may be an acceptable alternative, or where a single ADS may alleviate the need for a lift.
All Invicta staircases are powder coated to give a highly durable finish with excellent gloss retention.
Powder Coated Finish
All Invicta mezzanine floors include high quality powder coated finishes to all ancillary items including staircases, handrail posts and tubes, steel kickplates, safety gates, sliding access gates and swing gates within the standard specification.
Powder coating provides high corrosion resistance, optimum mechanical properties and excellent gloss retention. Available in a wide range of colours, Invicta's powder coated ancillaries ensure that your new mezzanine can reflect your corporate colour scheme at no extra cost.
All beams, columns and landing frames will be finished in Graphite Grey full gloss paint as standard although other colours are available on request.
Edge Protection
Invicta has developed a unique edge-protection system, which provides a functional and very neat solution that integrates both the handrail and toe plate into the handrail post.
The 100mm high, flat-sided oval profile of the steel toe plate slots into the centre of the handrail post, providing a robust edge with no visible sharp edges or bolts. The toe plate conforms to BS5395 Part 3:1985 and is designed to sustain a characteristic uniformly distributed, imposed horizontal loading of 1.0kN/m and a characteristic point load of 0.5kN. The toe plate is powder coated to give a highly durable finish with excellent gloss retention.
The 1120mm high, rolled hollow section handrail posts are set at 1500mm centres, and include tubular hand and knee rails running through the centre of the post, giving a bolt-free finish. The handrail is designed to safely sustain a minimum characteristic imposed horizontal line loading of 0.74kN/m. The rails and posts are powder coated to give a highly durable finish with excellent gloss retention.
Pallet Gates
Designed to protect personnel at exposed opening points at the floor edge, safety gates can have a light-weight, fail-safe roll-over operation or be of the sliding ‘trombone’ type. They can accommodate standard sized pallets and require virtually no maintenance. The gates are powder coated to give a highly durable finish with excellent gloss retention.
