Description
This illuminated stair nosing combines robust edge protection with integrated LED lighting and emergency power failure backup, helping to keep stairways clearly defined and safer to use at all times. Designed to cap and protect the leading edge of steps, it offers both visual guidance and impact resistance in a single, tidy profile.
With a compact 57 x 40 mm profile, this nosing is ideal for internal stairs in commercial, public and residential buildings where low-level lighting and enhanced visibility are required. Available in white tredsafe, black tredsafe, dolphin grey tredsafe and yellow tredsafe, and in a choice of lengths from 1.0 m to 3.22 m, it suits a wide range of installations, from single step thresholds to full stair runs.
Product Features
- 57 x 40 mm aluminium stair nosing profile with integrated LED lighting for clear step edge definition.
- Power failure backup function keeps LEDs illuminated for a limited period during mains power loss (when used with a suitable backup supply system).
- Choice of tread insert colours: white tredsafe, black tredsafe, dolphin grey tredsafe and high-visibility yellow tredsafe.
- Supplied in practical lengths of 1.0 m, 1.5 m, 2.0 m, 2.46 m, 2.77 m and 3.22 m to reduce waste and joints on longer stair flights.
- Durable, slip-resistant PVC insert provides improved underfoot grip on the stair edge.
- Low-profile LED channel designed to give an even, low-glare illumination along the nosing.
- Suitable for use with most hard and resilient floor coverings, including vinyl, laminate and ceramics.
Key Features and Benefits
- Improved safety on stairs thanks to illuminated edges that help users clearly identify each step in low light or during a power cut.
- Reduced risk of slips and trips with a textured tredsafe insert that offers added traction at the critical step nose area.
- Enhanced emergency egress: the power failure backup capability helps maintain a visible escape route when standard lighting fails.
- Professional, tidy finish that protects vulnerable step edges from chipping, wear and impact damage, extending the life of floor coverings.
- Flexible specification with multiple colour and length options to coordinate with interior schemes and meet contrasting colour guidance.
- Cost-effective to install, combining stair edging and lighting in a single profile, reducing the need for separate fittings.
