This aluminium stair nosing with a 57x40mm profile combines robust edge protection with a high-visibility anti-slip insert and a channel designed for remote illumination. It provides a defined, illuminated step edge that helps to reduce slips, trips and falls on both internal and covered external stairways.

Available in a wide range of insert colours and lengths, this stair nosing is ideal for retrofitting to existing staircases or integrating into new-build projects where safety, compliance and clear step definition are essential. The remote illumination feature allows lighting to be positioned away from the tread, providing a subtle, low-glare guide along the stair edge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the lighting included with this stair nosing?

No. The profile is designed with a channel for remote illumination, but the LED or fibre-optic lighting system is supplied separately so you can choose a specification that suits your project.

Can this nosing be cut to length on site?

Yes. The aluminium profile can be cut to size using appropriate tools. When ordering, it is recommended to select the closest longer standard length to minimise cutting and waste.

Is this stair nosing suitable for external use?

The aluminium profile itself is corrosion-resistant and may be used on covered external stairs, provided the installation is correctly detailed and a suitable lighting system is chosen. For fully exposed external locations, additional consideration should be given to weather protection and drainage.
