Description
This illuminated stair nosing combines robust edge protection with integrated lighting to enhance visibility and safety on stairways. Designed with a 63mm tread and 32mm riser, it clearly defines each step edge while helping to reduce the risk of slips, trips and falls, even in low light or during power failure.
Suitable for commercial, residential and public buildings, this profile can be installed on new or existing stairs in corridors, escape routes, foyers and access staircases. Available in a wide choice of colours and lengths, it provides a durable, practical and neat finish to most floor coverings while supporting safer movement on stairs.
Product Features
- Illuminated stair nosing with 63mm tread and 32mm riser to clearly highlight the step edge.
- Integrated power-failure safety lighting system designed to provide guidance illumination in the event of mains power loss.
- Available in a wide range of colours, including yellow, white, black, brown, beige, canvas, red, dolphin grey, ice grey, midnight grey and cobalt blue for effective contrast and design coordination.
- Supplied in multiple standard lengths: 1.0m, 1.5m, 2.0m, 2.46m, 2.77m and 3.22m, helping to minimise joints on longer stair flights.
- Durable aluminium-based profile (with illuminated insert) suitable for high-traffic environments such as schools, offices, hospitals and public venues.
