Available in a choice of high-visibility tread colours, this 69 x 40mm nosing is ideal for concrete, timber or steel steps on external staircases, fire escapes and entrance ways. Supplied in a range of practical lengths from 1.0m to 3.22m, it can be cut to size on site for both commercial and residential installations.
