{"product_id":"aluminium-stair-nosing-91x32mm-rakeback-twin-insert","title":"Aluminium Stair Nosing 91x32mm Heavy Duty Double Anti Slip Insert","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn a busy commercial stair — an office core, a school corridor, a hospital stairwell — the leading edge takes the punishment, and the leading edge is what people look at when they judge whether the flight is safe. This 91 x 32mm aluminium stair nosing answers both. Two full-length anti-slip PVC insert bands run side by side across a 91mm tread plate, separated by a narrow bare aluminium rib, and the front face drops just 32mm onto the riser in a raked-back angle rather than a deep square lip. It is a heavy duty commercial profile in 6063 aluminium at a 5mm gauge, made to sit under contract carpet or a resilient floor covering rather than perch on top of it. Eleven insert colours and six lengths let you put contrast where the specification asks for it and blend in where it does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo insert bands rather than one\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 91mm tread plate is wide, and filling it with a single band of PVC gives you one large flexing surface and one long adhesive line. This profile splits the tread into two separate inserts divided by a bare mill aluminium rib. Each band is narrower across its width, so it is better supported, and the rib gives the extrusion a stiffening line down its length. Visually the twin bands also read as a wider block of colour from the top of a flight than a single strip of the same total area, which is the angle from which a descending user actually sees the step edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA 5mm gauge, not a 5mm floor finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gauge figure quoted for this range is the thickness of the aluminium itself. Genesis describes the 5mm gauge as allowing for fixing with heavy duty carpets or similar floor coverings — it is what lets the back leg be dressed into a contract carpet, laminate, LVT or tile finish without the nosing standing proud enough to catch a toe. It is a specification of the metal, not a limit on what you can lay against it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGrip figures the manufacturer publishes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenesis publishes test data for the standard PVC insert used across this range. The manufacturer states category \u003cstrong\u003eR11\u003c\/strong\u003e on the DIN 51130:2010 inclined platform test (22.9° corrected, average of six shod results) and, on the BS 7976-2:2002 pendulum test, an average PTV of \u003cstrong\u003e66 dry\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e54 wet\u003c\/strong\u003e. The UK Slip Resistance Group guidance quoted alongside those figures treats a PTV of 36 or above as low slip potential. The insert is described by the manufacturer as a REACH compliant flexible PVC extrusion grade developed for non-scuff stair nosing use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it is used\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOffice stair cores and shared circulation routes, schools, colleges and university buildings, healthcare and community premises, retail and leisure, and the common stairs of apartment blocks and hotels. It suits refurbishment as readily as new build: where treads are chipped or worn, the profile gives you a fresh, square, hard-wearing edge without rebuilding the step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProfile size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e91mm tread x 32mm riser\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEdge shape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRakeback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChannel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDouble PVC insert — two separate insert bands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExtruded aluminium, alloy 6063 temper T5 to DIN EN 755; composition to BS EN 573-3:2003 — manufacturer stated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGauge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInsert\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard flexible PVC, smooth finish, REACH compliant grade — manufacturer stated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSlip resistance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eR11 to DIN 51130:2010 (22.9° corrected); PTV 66 dry \/ 54 wet to BS 7976-2:2002 — manufacturer stated for the standard PVC insert\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInsert LRV\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite 79.9 · Yellow 55.7 · Canvas 53.2 · Ice Grey 42.1 · Beige 41.1 · Dolphin Grey 27.6 · Midnight Grey 12.8 · Red 10.6 · Cobalt Blue 9.2 · Brown 9.1 · Black 4.5 — manufacturer stated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChannel LRV\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMill aluminium 78.9 — manufacturer stated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLengths\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1m, 1.5m and 2m cut from stock; 2.46m, 2.77m and 3.22m manufacturer stock lengths\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFixing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdhesive and\/or mechanical fixings, by the installer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFloor finishes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarpet, laminate, LVT and tile\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLocation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInternal.

Where the specification asks for visual contrast between the step edge and the tread finish, work from the light reflectance values in the table above and pick an insert that sits well away from the LRV of your floor covering: White at 79.9 or Yellow at 55.7 against a dark floor; Black at 4.5, Brown at 9.1 or Cobalt Blue at 9.2 against a pale one. Where the nosing is there for wear rather than wayfinding, Dolphin Grey, Ice Grey and Canvas disappear into most commercial schemes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen the length. The manufacturer's stock lengths are 2.46m, 2.77m and 3.22m; our 1m, 1.5m and 2m options are cut from those. Order a length that covers the full width of the tread in one piece wherever you can — a butt joint mid-tread is the first place a nosing starts to lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the steps are outside, or exposed to weather and standing water, this is not the profile. Genesis makes a separate Tredsafe insert range for external and wet use, and we list the 91 x 32mm version of it separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation, use and care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer's method is straightforward. Make sure the steps are dry, clean, free of debris, level and even. If the profile is pre-drilled, use the holes to mark the drilling positions, then drill and plug the step. Apply a suitable adhesive to the underside of the nosing, set it down onto the step, and screw down with appropriately sized screws. Fit the insert, or the insert pip over the screw head, last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor maintenance, Genesis specifies cleaning the inserts with a neutral detergent, rinsing thoroughly with clean water and letting them dry before foot traffic returns. The aluminium channel can be brought back with steel wool or a cloth. Solvent cleaners should not be used on Genesis aluminium products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003eHow many insert bands does this profile have?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eTwo. The 91mm tread plate carries two separate anti-slip PVC insert bands side by side, divided by a narrow strip of bare mill aluminium, with a thin aluminium margin along the front and back edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003eCan I use this nosing outdoors?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eWe do not recommend it. The manufacturer does not publish an external or wet-area rating for the standard PVC insert fitted to this profile. For external steps Genesis produces a separate Tredsafe insert range, and we list a 91 x 32mm Tredsafe version for that use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003eWhat does the 5mm gauge refer to?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe thickness of the aluminium extrusion, not the thickness of a floor covering. The manufacturer describes the 5mm gauge as allowing for fixing with heavy duty carpets or similar floor coverings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003eCan it be cut to a non-standard length?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eYes. The profile is supplied here in fixed lengths, and aluminium cuts cleanly on site with a fine-tooth blade — deburr the cut end before fixing.
