Description
This external grade aluminium stair nosing with silicone carbide insert is designed to provide a durable, slip-resistant edge to exposed step fronts. Engineered for demanding outdoor environments, it offers long-lasting protection to stair edges while significantly improving underfoot safety in wet or high-traffic areas.
Suitable for use on external concrete, timber or tiled steps, this 68 x 33 mm profile offers excellent visual definition and grip on both public and private stairways. Available in black or yellow inserts and a choice of lengths, it is ideal for entrances, fire escapes, ramps and any external staircase requiring a robust, compliant finishing detail.
Product Features
- Heavy-duty 68 mm tread with 33 mm riser for robust edge protection and clear step definition.
- Hard-wearing silicone carbide insert provides excellent slip resistance, even in wet or contaminated conditions.
- Available insert colours: black for discreet safety or high-visibility yellow for improved contrast and hazard marking.
- Supplied in three practical lengths: 2460 mm, 2770 mm and 3000 mm, suitable for most stair widths and site cutting.
- Choice of profile drilling options: undrilled for site-specific fixing or pre-drilled to a standard pattern for faster installation.
- Manufactured from corrosion-resistant external grade aluminium, suitable for outdoor and high-moisture environments.
- Designed for retrofitting to existing stairs or incorporation into new-build staircases.
Key Features and Benefits
- Improves stair safety by providing a stable, slip-resistant surface at the leading edge of each step.

- Protects vulnerable stair nosings from chipping, wear and water ingress, extending the life of the substrate.
- Flexible installation options allow the profile to be fixed to a wide range of external stair constructions.
