Description
This illuminated stair nosing combines durable aluminium protection with integrated LED emergency lighting and a high-performance anti-slip insert. Designed to clearly define the leading edge of steps, it improves both day-to-day safety and visibility in low light or power-loss situations.
Suitable for internal staircases in commercial, public and residential buildings, this 71 x 55 mm profile is ideal for offices, schools, hospitals, hotels, theatres and apartment blocks where compliant, clearly lit escape routes and long-lasting stair protection are essential.
Product Features
- Robust aluminium stair nosing profile measuring 71 mm on the tread and 55 mm on the riser for excellent edge protection.
- Integrated LED emergency illumination along the nosing edge to enhance visibility during power failure or low light conditions.
- High-grip anti-slip insert available in a wide choice of colours: yellow, white, black, brown, beige, canvas, red, dolphin grey, ice grey, midnight grey and cobalt blue.
- Supplied in multiple standard lengths to suit different stair widths: 1.0 m, 1.5 m, 2.0 m, 2.46 m, 2.77 m and 3.22 m.
- Designed for surface fixing onto existing stair treads, helping to protect edges from chipping, wear and impact damage.
- Suitable for a wide range of floor finishes including vinyl, laminate, carpet tiles and smooth hard flooring.
- Low-profile LED channel to minimise trip risk while providing an even, continuous line of light along the step edge.
Key Features and Benefits
- Improved safety in emergencies thanks to built-in LED lighting that helps occupants clearly see stair edges during evacuations or power cuts.
- Enhanced slip resistance from the textured insert, helping reduce the risk of accidents in high-traffic or potentially wet areas.
- Long-term protection for stair edges, reducing maintenance and replacement costs by shielding vulnerable nosing areas from everyday wear.
- Flexible aesthetic options with a wide colour palette, allowing you to match interior schemes or create a strong contrast strip for added visibility.
- Multiple length options simplify installation, reducing cutting on site and helping to achieve a neat, professional finish.
- Supports compliance with common health and safety guidance by clearly defining step nosings and improving route illumination.
