Description
A 78.5mm aluminium tread plate with a deep 67mm nose and a carborundum grit insert, finished square at the back for floor coverings laid up to the nosing. This is the heavy refurbishment profile: broad enough underfoot to matter, deep enough at the front to cover a damaged riser, and gritted with the hardest insert available.
Why the deep nose
Where a riser is chipped, patched or scarred by a previous trim, a 67mm face covers it in one piece. It also gives a much stronger visual line when the flight is seen from below, which is what escape route and accessibility specifications are usually after when they ask for a contrasting step edge.
Square back or raked back
This version finishes square at the rear, so a vinyl, tile or carpet edge butts cleanly against it. If you are fitting over a floor covering that is staying put, take the raked back version instead, whose tapered rear edge lands on top without a lip.
Why carborundum rather than PVC
Aluminium oxide grit in a resin matrix is the hardest of the common anti-slip infills. It does not burnish smooth under footfall the way a ribbed PVC insert does, and it cannot peel like a bonded grit tape. On a stair heavy enough to justify this profile, a soft insert is the part that fails first.

Choosing the right option
Nose depth. Take 67mm where the riser needs covering; 40mm is neater where it is sound.
Finish. Mill for industrial and back-of-house work; satin anodised for public areas.
Length. Order the bar that covers your going in one piece, or use the cut-to-size version for anything between 250mm and 2750mm.
Installation, use and care
Fix the nosing before the floor covering goes down so it can be trimmed tight to the square back. Check the riser is flat enough for a 67mm face to bear against. Fix at roughly 300mm centres and bed in a structural adhesive as well as screwing on external stairs. Clean with a stiff brush and water; avoid acid and solvent cleaners.
