  5. Warranty

    How we can offer a 10 Year Replacement Warranty

    As innovators and pioneers in the safety industry, it is important that we lead by example.

    Our production manuals contain the QA/QC requirements for every process. As a basic rule, every production team member acts as a buyer and a seller. When a process is completed, the person who conducted that process becomes the internal seller of the product to that stage. It is then passed on to the next person in the production process – the internal buyer – who checks all specifications, etc. to ensure the previous process was carried out in accordance with requirements.

    The product continues through the production process that way, being rigorously checked by the ‘internal buyer’ at every stage.

    Every process is also signed off by the operator on the Job Card. This ensures quality is maintained and checked throughout all processes rather than just at the packaging stage. All raw materials are checked upon receipt, resins are tested for hardness and so on.

    When the products are completed, the Job Card number becomes the Warranty Number and this is stamped on the underside of every product so it can be traced should there ever be a future issue.

    The 10 Year Replacement Warranty Certificate provided with every Class 1 is signed by the Managing Director and the Production Manager. The Job Cards are archived for a minimum of 10 years so they may be recovered and the production process traced if necessary.

Installation of Vigil Antislip Commercial Stair Treads

  1. Using solvent and rags, clean the concrete/tiles where the Stair Nosings are to be placed and clean the backs of each Stair Nosing. Ensure that rubber gloves are worn.
  2. Place each Stair Tread in the desired position on each step to ensure that they fit correctly.
  3. Fit a tube of adhesive on to the caulking gun, pierce tube seal and screw on nozzle. Trim off end of nozzle to obtain required bead of adhesive.
  4. Starting from the top step, squeeze 3 beads of adhesive onto the back of the first Stair Tread to be installed. .
  5. Place the Stair Tread in the required position on the step and apply pressure both downward and backward so that adhesion is achieved to the top of the step as well as the leading edge.
  6. Repeat procedures for the rest of the Stair Treads.
  7. Using acetone, clean any excess adhesive from around the Stair Treads before it cures.
  8. Ensure that that pedestrian traffic is kept away from the steps until the adhesive is cured.

(Approximately 6-8 hours).
