Description
This GRP anti slip stair nosing with medium grit provides a durable, high-traction finish to the leading edge of steps, helping to significantly reduce the risk of slips, trips and falls. Manufactured from glass reinforced plastic (GRP) with a coarse yet comfortable medium grit surface, it offers a long-lasting safety upgrade for both internal and external staircases.
Designed for quick installation over existing timber, concrete, metal or stone steps, this stair nosing is ideal for high-traffic areas in commercial, industrial and public buildings. Available in a range of high-visibility colours and popular lengths up to 3000mm, it is suitable for retrofitting on worn or smooth steps to improve grip and define the step edge clearly.
Product Features
- Durable GRP construction with medium grit anti slip surface for reliable traction in wet or dry conditions.
- Available in multiple standard lengths: 800mm, 1000mm, 1200mm, 2000mm and 3000mm, all with 55mm x 55mm dimensions for tread and riser coverage.
- Choice of colours including Black, Yellow, Green, Red, Blue, Buff, Mid Grey, White and Brown to suit safety, contrast and design requirements.
- 10 year warranty against manufacturing defects for long-term peace of mind and lifecycle cost control.
- Corrosion-resistant and weatherproof, suitable for internal and external staircases, including exposed and coastal environments.
- Lightweight yet robust profile for straightforward handling, cutting (if required) and installation on site.
- Pre-formed right-angle profile designed to cap the leading edge of the step, protecting both the substrate and the stair nosing.
Key Features and Benefits
