Ideal for outdoor entrances, fire escapes, access ramps and exposed staircases, this nosing is suitable for concrete, timber or metal substrates. Available in a choice of high-visibility tread insert colours and multiple standard lengths, it provides a practical, long-lasting solution for both commercial and residential external stairs.
