On a deep going, one stripe of grip is not enough. This 90mm aluminium nosing carries two insert channels across the tread, so the foot lands on an anti-slip band wherever it falls rather than on bare metal between a single insert and the step edge. At 5mm gauge it is built for stairs that take real traffic.
A 90mm tread plate with a single 37mm insert leaves a wide strip of plain aluminium. On a busy public stair that strip is exactly where a hurried foot lands. Two bands close that gap and also give a much stronger visual reading of the step edge, which is what accessibility guidance is usually after when it asks for a contrasting nose.
The front face drops only 32mm, so the profile suits stairs where a deep riser cover would foul a skirting, a stringer detail or an existing trim. Where the riser is damaged and needs covering, a deeper-nosed profile is the better answer.

Insert. Castellated PVC is the commercial workhorse. Olympic Grip is the coarse gritted band for entrances where footwear arrives wet. Smooth textured is a styling choice for dry interiors. The aluminium infills give a monolithic metal look. Those slip figures are for the insert material, not a finished installation, but they are the right basis for comparing options.
Length. Order the bar that covers your going in one piece. If your treads are an awkward width, or every flight differs, order from the cut-to-size version of this profile, cut to the millimetre between 700mm and 3200mm.
The substrate must be sound, clean, dry and flat; make good a worn arris first or the nose will bridge a hollow. Fix at roughly 250-300mm centres, starting about 50mm from each end. Do not overtighten on a polished bar, which will mark. Clean with a damp cloth and neutral detergent; abrasive pads and solvents dull an anodised surface.

Came sturdy as anything - packaging would survive a hurricane. Fitted it onto the outdoor steps near our park entrance; piece of cake! They’ve tackled quite a bit of foot traffic in all this damp weather lately. No slips or trips at all, and with two strips on this stair nosing, there’s always good footing even when it’s busy.
Took a punt on this for some new staircases in our office building, and I’m chuffed with the service. The stair nosing came well-packed and had no signs of dents or scuffs when I unpacked it—top marks on delivery! Installing it was straightforward, and the grip brings just the right hold on those shiny marble stairs with people bustling about every day like nobody’s business.
Installed it on the outdoor steps leading to our local amphitheatre back in spring. This nosing has handled everything from daily foot traffic to harsh weather with ease, still as sturdy and grippy as day one. Blends really nicely with the natural setting too, adding a bit of safety without sticking out like a sore thumb.
Got this for a subway stairway and honestly, it arrived faster than I could blink - packaging was neat too. This aluminium stair nosing really spruces up the steps where commuters tread all day long! It fits perfectly and gives a slick modern look that complements the hustle without skimping on safety.
Tough little product. Needed something to tackle the worn-down concrete steps at our library entrance, and this two-channel trim was a doddle to cut to size with a hand saw. Once in place, it offered solid grip which felt reassuringly firm underfoot.
