DDA Compliant Stair Nosing 57x55mm Emergency Light PVC Insert

This DDA compliant stair nosing with 57x55mm profile and emergency light PVC insert is designed to clearly define step edges and improve safety on internal stairways. The robust aluminium carrier and high-visibility PVC insert create a durable, slip-resistant and visually contrasting leading edge, helping to reduce the risk of trips and falls.

Available in a wide range of insert colours and lengths, this stair nosing is ideal for commercial, public and residential buildings where compliance with Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) and inclusive design guidance is required. It is particularly suited to escape routes and areas with reduced lighting, where the emergency-light-responsive insert helps highlight stair edges in low light conditions.

• Durable aluminium nosing with integrated emergency light PVC insert for improved visibility in low light.
• Choice of insert colours: yellow, white, black, brown, beige, canvas, red, dolphin grey, ice grey, midnight grey and cobalt blue for effective tonal contrast with surrounding floor finishes.
