Order this slimline raked-back aluminium stair nosing cut to your own measurement, priced by the centimetre. It is the same 59mm x 30mm extruded profile as our stock-length listing – a single-channel carrier taking a 49.5mm anti-slip insert – but every bar is cut to the exact length you specify, so refurbishment work on stairs that are not a round metre goes down without a saw on site.
The raked back is what makes this profile worth cutting to size. Because the rear of the tread plate is angled rather than square, the nosing sits down onto an existing worn step edge and closes the joint against a floorcovering, instead of standing proud of it. On a job where every flight is a slightly different width, ordering to the millimetre is the difference between a clean line and a row of visible cut ends.
Prices on this page are per centimetre. Choose your finish and insert colour, then enter the length you need – the price shown updates to the price for that length. Minimum order length is 700mm; maximum is 3200mm in a single bar. For longer runs, order multiple bars and butt them.
Cutting tolerance is ±5mm, so allow a small expansion gap at each end rather than ordering the exact opening width. If you want a tight fit into a stringer or against a wall, order 3–5mm under the measurement and take up the difference with the insert.
Carrier finish. Six anodised finishes are available. Mill aluminium is the plain untreated extrusion and the lowest cost; satin and polished are anodised silvers, satin being the softer of the two. Black anodised, bronze and light bronze are the Designer Collection colours – specify these where the nosing has to disappear into a dark floor or pick up brassware.
Insert. Castellated PVC inserts (the ribbed profile) carry the highest wet slip figures and come in the widest colour range. Smooth textured inserts are flatter and easier to sweep, at a lower wet figure. Black Olympic Grip is a coarse gritted band for the heaviest foot traffic in the range. The aluminium inserts are metal rather than PVC – specify these where a fully metallic look is wanted, but note their wet figure is the lowest of the four insert families.
Drilling. Bars ship undrilled, for adhesive fixing or for drilling on site to suit your own fixing centres. The manufacturer will pre-drill and countersink for a hidden fix and charges 5%; tell us the centres you want and we will quote it with your order rather than loading it onto the per-centimetre price.
SRV (pendulum) figures are published for the insert materials used across this range: castellated PVC 76 wet, Black Olympic Grip 71 wet, smooth textured 56 wet and the aluminium insert 54 wet. These are the manufacturer’s figures for the insert, not a test on the finished installation. This profile is specified for stairs carrying low to medium traffic volumes; for external work or heavy commercial traffic, ask us about the GRP-insert version instead.

Set the nosing dry first and check it sits flat along the whole step before committing. If you have had the bar pre-drilled, mark through the holes, drill and plug the substrate, then fix with countersunk screws so the heads finish flush under the insert channel. On an undrilled bar, use a bead of high-grab construction adhesive along the underside of the tread plate and the back of the nose, and weight or tape the bar until it grabs. Clean with a neutral floor detergent; avoid abrasive pads on anodised finishes, which will scratch through the anodic layer.
Custom-cut lengths are made to your measurement and are non-returnable except for faults, so check your dimensions before ordering. If you would rather buy standard bars and cut them yourself, the same profile is available in 1m and 2m stock lengths on our Slimline Raked Back Stair Nosing 59x30mm listing.

For the price, I was pleasantly surprised to see how well it blends with our tiled floor in the university lecture hall. Cutting it to size was a breeze and despite regular use, this bit of stair nosing feels sturdy, providing a seamless look without detracting from the original decor. Props for not compromising on quality!

Had to sort out the dodgy concrete entrance at our library. This aluminium edge strip is wonderfully robust yet surprisingly lightweight, making it a perfect solution for enhancing safety without fuss. We cut each piece to fit seamlessly and have already had compliments on its look and feel amidst the heavy footfall.

Came securely packaged and installed easily on our family staircase. Weve seen a significant difference during those rainy days when the stairs tend to get slippery. The tread performed admirably under foot traffic, making it an excellent choice for busy homes; Ill definitely keep this in mind for future projects.

Wasnt sure at first, but the packaging was spot on and everything arrived in perfect nick. Cut to size perfectly and fits just right on my warehouse steps, giving sturdy footing with the stair nosing. It’s really held up well even with the busy comings and goings of forklifts buzzing about all day.

Installed it along the elegant marble steps in our hotel foyer. After months of constant foot traffic, it still holds up impressively well against wear, blending seamlessly into the decor without a hitch. The grip remains surprisingly robust despite heavy use, which speaks volumes about its lasting quality and functionality.

Handy piece of kit. Used this stair nosing for the library steps we maintain, had em cut to the exact length needed without any bother. Easy to fit and looking as good as new even with regular foot traffic in wet weather.
