{"product_id":"aluminium-stair-nosing-44x23mm-ribbed-anti-slip","title":"Aluminium Stair Nosing 44x23mm Ribbed Anti-Slip Step Edge Trim","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf the step edges on a staircase have started to wear, chip or fray, this 44mm anodised aluminium stair nosing is the slim way to put a hard, defined edge back on them. It is an angle profile: a 44mm top surface that sits on the tread at the very front edge, and a 23mm leg that turns down over the nose to cover the top of the riser. The top face is finely ribbed across its full width to give some bite underfoot. At 23mm the front face is a little over half the depth of the tread plate, so you get edge protection and a clear visual line without the bulk of a commercial step-edge bar. Anodised silver or gold, five stock lengths, screw-fixed through holes that are already drilled and countersunk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAnodised, not painted\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnodising converts the outer skin of the aluminium into a hard oxide layer instead of laying a coating on top of it. That matters most on a stair nose, which takes the concentrated load of every single footfall: a painted or powder-coated finish wears through at exactly that point and starts to look shabby within a couple of years, whereas the anodised layer is part of the metal and wears at the same rate as it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe ribs are the grip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFine longitudinal ribs run the whole 44mm width of the top face. They break up what would otherwise be a smooth metal surface at the one point on a staircase where a foot is most likely to skid. The supplier sells the profile as an anti-slip ribbed tread, and that is the correct way to read it: no pendulum value, PTV, R rating or other slip test result is published for this line, so the ribbing is a practical grip texture rather than a certified figure. If your specification calls for a tested slip value, choose a profile that publishes one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSlim enough to retrofit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the profile sits on top of the finished tread rather than being built into it, you can fit it to a staircase that is already carpeted, laminated or covered in LVT without lifting anything. The 23mm leg is shallow enough to sit over a normal riser lip rather than standing proud of it, which is why it reads as a trim rather than an add-on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it is used\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDomestic staircases in houses and flats, particularly where a carpet or laminate covering meets a timber tread and the nose has begun to wear. Communal stairs in small blocks of flats, and hallway, office and shop steps carrying everyday rather than heavy industrial traffic. It is an interior profile. The supplier lists it for carpet, laminate and LVT floor coverings and publishes no external, weathering or UV data for it, so we do not recommend it for outdoor steps, patios or porches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAnodised aluminium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProfile\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAngle (L-shaped), straight edge, no insert or channel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTread surface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44mm wide, finely ribbed full width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront face \/ riser leg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23mm deep\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinishes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSilver anodised, gold anodised\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLengths (actual)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e895mm, 1000mm, 1790mm, 2000mm, 2700mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGold availability\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1000mm, 2000mm and 2700mm only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFixing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScrew-fix through pre-drilled, countersunk holes; four screws supplied per length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuitable floor coverings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarpet, laminate, LVT (supplier stated)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLocation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInterior stairs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSlip resistance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot published for this line\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFire rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot published for this line\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandards and compliance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo Part K, Part M, BS 8300, DDA, CE or UKCA claim is published for this profile\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eChoosing the right option\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish.\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver is the safer match against grey, white and cool-toned carpets and against most laminates.

A standard domestic flight is usually 750–900mm wide, which the 1000mm length covers with a trim. The 2700mm length is the economical choice when you are doing several steps at once, or for wide communal stairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailability.\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver comes in all five lengths. Gold is made in 1000mm, 2000mm and 2700mm only, so if you need gold on a narrow flight you will be cutting a 1000mm length down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation, use and care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure each tread individually — stair widths are rarely identical from top to bottom — and cut to length with a hacksaw and a fine metal blade, or a chop saw with an aluminium blade, then file the cut end smooth. Set the profile with its turned-down leg hard against the riser face, mark through the existing countersunk holes, drill pilot holes and fix with the four screws supplied. On carpet, tuck the pile under the back edge before fixing. Clean with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive pads, scouring cream and solvent cleaners, all of which will dull the anodised surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWill this cover the edge of an existing carpet or laminate?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
