This is a flexible one-piece PVC nosing, not a rigid bar. It can be eased around curved, splayed and tapered steps that an aluminium profile will not follow, and around winders and quarter-landings where a straight nosing would have to be mitred or left short. On straight flights it fits exactly as any other nosing does.
That flexibility also makes it the quicker installation: no drilling, no fixings to sink, and no cut-and-mitre work at changes of direction. It is a cost-effective alternative to a traditional aluminium nosing where the priority is grip and edge definition rather than heavy impact resistance.
Profile and supply
48mm across the tread, 29mm down the riser, 3mm thick, supplied in 3.22m lengths. The top face is ribbed for grip and the underside is serrated so that adhesive keys into it. Cut to length on site with a fine-toothed saw or a sharp knife.
This PVC anti slip stair nosing provides a neat, durable and cost-effective finish to stair edges in both residential and commercial environments. Designed to cap and protect the front edge of each step, it helps to prevent chipping and wear while giving a smart, defined transition between treads and risers.
With a 48 x 29 mm profile, this stair nosing offers reliable slip resistance on the step edge, improving safety on internal staircases with carpet, vinyl or painted timber finishes. Ideal for homes, offices, schools, retail premises and shared stairwells, it is suitable for new installations or refurbishments where a practical, low-maintenance edge protection is required.

Works a treat for anyone needing cost-effective solutions for awkward steps. These PVC stair nosing pieces were just the ticket for our contemporary office steps with their unusual flair, saving us effort and money compared to metal options. The installation was straightforward, fitting snugly across the whole span of the curved flooring without hassle.

Installed last autumn on the steps of our luxury apartment lobby, these PVC edges have proven their worth. After months of bustling foot traffic, theyve shown minimal wear and continue to securely hug the curves. Really felt like great value for durability in such a busy spot.

Got this for upgrading the entrance steps to our local library since they needed a safer look. It fitted like a glove around the concretes curves, and the finish was tidy without looking overly commercial thanks to its bendy nature. Easy to work with, this pvc stair nosing made those old stairs look pretty neat for visitors on rainy days.
Emily C.
Brilliantly adaptable. I was working on restoring an old hotels staircase, and this flexible nosing was a saviour. It bent nicely to match the curved edges, blending beautifully with the vintage tiles underneath. Cutting it to size was straightforward with my usual gear, and fitting felt seamless. This stair nosing tackled the tricky parts where a rigid alternative simply wouldn’t have worked.
