Available in a choice of white, black, dolphin grey and yellow anti-slip inserts, this nosing is suitable for outdoor staircases, fire escapes, access ramps and other exposed steps where safety and durability are essential. Multiple length options from 1.0m to 3.22m allow you to match the profile to new installations or retrofit projects with minimal cutting and waste.
