Description
This external stair nosing in robust aluminium provides a durable, slip-resistant edge for outdoor steps and access routes. Designed to meet DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) guidance on visual contrast and safety, it clearly defines the step edge while helping to reduce the risk of trips and slips in all weather conditions.
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.
Product Features
- 69mm front face with 40mm tread, providing a clearly defined and robust step edge profile.
- Manufactured from hard-wearing aluminium, suitable for high-traffic external applications.
- Anti-slip insert options in white, black, dolphin grey or yellow for improved grip and visual contrast.
- Offered in multiple stock lengths: 1.0m, 1.5m, 2.0m, 2.46m, 2.77m and 3.22m for flexible installation and minimal waste.
- Compatible with concrete, timber and metal stair substrates using appropriate fixings and adhesives.
- Suitable for external environments, designed to withstand weathering and repeated foot traffic.
- Screw-fix design for secure fitting, with the insert covering the fixings for a neat, safe finish.
Key Features and Benefits
- Improves stair safety by providing a slip-resistant surface at the leading edge of each step, even in wet or dirty conditions.
- Supports DDA-compliant installations by offering contrasting tread colours, helping visually impaired users identify step edges more easily.
- Protects the edge of the stair from chipping and wear, extending the service life of the steps beneath.
- Aluminium construction is both lightweight and strong, making handling and installation straightforward without compromising durability.
- Choice of lengths allows for efficient coverage of most stair widths with fewer joints and reduced cutting time on site.
- Concealed fixings beneath the insert deliver a clean, professional appearance and minimise potential trip hazards.
