Description

This illuminated anti slip stair nosing combines robust edge protection with integrated emergency guidance to enhance stair safety in low-light and power-loss situations. Featuring a hard-wearing carbide anti slip insert and an emergency glow strip, it clearly defines the step edge while helping to reduce the risk of slips and trips.

Designed for use on internal staircases in commercial, public and multi-residential buildings, this 68 x 33mm profile is ideal for new installations or refurbishments.
