Description
This aluminium edging strip is a robust, low-profile solution for finishing and protecting the front edge of tiled stair treads in commercial environments. Designed to sit neatly over the tile edge, it provides a clean, professional finish while helping to reduce the risk of chipping and long-term damage to the stair nosing.
Suitable for use on commercial tiled stairs in offices, retail units, public buildings and shared access areas, this profile offers a durable and practical edge detail. Available in 26mm x 10mm and 26mm x 12mm sizes, it is ideal for new installations or as a retrofit upgrade to improve safety, durability and appearance on high-traffic staircases.

- Available in two profile sizes: 26mm x 10mm and 26mm x 12mm to suit different tile thicknesses and build-ups.
- Protects the vulnerable front edge of tiles from impact damage, cracking and chipping.
- Straight, square-edge design for a crisp, modern finish on internal staircases.
- Pre-drilled fixing channel (where applicable) for secure mechanical fixing to the stair substrate.

Key Features and Benefits
