Description
This aluminium stair nosing provides a robust, non-slip edge for stair treads, helping to clearly define step edges and reduce the risk of slips and trips on both internal and external stairways. The 87mm tread and 40mm riser profile gives generous coverage, protecting the leading edge of the step from wear and impact damage.
Designed for use on concrete, timber, tiled and many other stair substrates, this nosing is suitable for offices, schools, public buildings, residential blocks and external fire escapes. A choice of high-visibility or more subtle insert colours, together with a wide range of lengths from 1.0m to 3.22m, makes it easy to match safety requirements and design schemes.
Product Features
- Durable aluminium stair nosing with 87mm tread and 40mm riser dimensions for secure edge protection.
- Non-slip insert for improved underfoot grip in both indoor and outdoor environments.
- Available in a wide range of insert colours: saffron, yellow, white, black, brown, beige, canvas, red, dolphin grey, ice grey, midnight grey and cobalt blue.
- Multiple standard lengths: 1.0m, 1.5m, 2.0m, 2.46m, 2.77m and 3.22m to suit different stair widths and minimise cutting on site.
- Suitable for use on new stairs or for refurbishing and upgrading existing steps.
- Corrosion-resistant finish for reliable performance in dry and moderately exposed outdoor locations.
- Pre-drilled fixing options can be added on site to suit mechanical screw fixing with appropriate plugs or anchors.
Key Features and Benefits
- Helps improve stair safety by providing a clearly defined, slip-resistant leading edge, especially useful in low-light conditions.
- Protects the front edge of steps from chipping, wear and damage, extending the life of the floor finish beneath.
- Wide insert colour range allows you to choose either high-contrast safety colours such as yellow, saffron or white, or more discreet tones like grey, brown or beige.
- Aluminium construction offers a strong yet lightweight solution that is easy to handle, cut and install on site.
- Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, making it ideal for continuous runs between internal stairwells and external access stairs.
