Description
This aluminium stair nosing is a robust, external-grade profile designed to protect step edges and improve safety on outdoor staircases. With a 60mm tread and 55mm riser, it offers generous coverage for exposed edges, helping to reduce wear on the substrate and creating a clearly defined, anti-slip step edge.
Manufactured from durable aluminium with a high-grip insert, this nosing is ideal for external stairways in commercial, public and residential settings. Available in white, black, dolphin grey and yellow anti-slip inserts, and in lengths from 1.0m up to 3.22m, it can be matched to most installations and cut to suit on site.
Product Features

- High-traction Tredsafe style anti-slip insert, available in white, black, dolphin grey or yellow for improved visibility.
- Suitable for outdoor stairs and exposed locations where additional grip and durability are essential.
- Offered in convenient standard lengths of 1.0m, 1.5m, 2.0m, 2.46m, 2.77m and 3.22m to minimise waste and joints.
- Can be cut to size on site using standard metalworking tools for a precise fit to each step.
- Compatible with a wide range of substrates including concrete, stone and timber, using appropriate fixings and sealants.

Key Features and Benefits

- Improved step visibility: Contrasting colour options, including high-visibility yellow, clearly define the stair edge to assist users and support safer navigation.

- Flexible installation: Multiple standard lengths allow efficient installation on longer runs of stairs with fewer joins and minimal cutting.
