The AHD17 DDA Stair Nosing 60x55mm Illuminated Aluminium is a robust, double-angled stair edging profile designed to improve safety, visibility and durability on stepped access routes. Combining a 60mm tread with a 55mm riser, it provides clear definition of the stair edge and is fully compatible with DDA and Equality Act best-practice guidance when correctly specified.

Manufactured from hard-wearing aluminium and fitted with an illuminated insert, this nosing enhances step visibility in low-light areas such as corridors, stairwells, cinemas and theatres. Available in a wide range of contrast colours including yellow, white, black, brown, beige, canvas, red, dolphin grey, ice grey, midnight grey and cobalt blue, and in lengths from 1.0m to 3.22m, it offers a versatile solution for both new installations and refurbishments.
