Description
This aluminium stair nosing with lighting options is a robust, dual-purpose profile designed to protect step edges while improving visibility on stairways. Combining a durable aluminium base with slip-resistant tread inserts, it creates a defined, safer leading edge on both internal and covered external stairs.
With a generous 77.5mm tread and 48.5mm riser, this nosing is ideal for medium to heavy footfall areas such as offices, apartment blocks, public buildings and hospitality venues. Available in practical lengths of 1.0m, 1.5m, 2.0m and 2.8m and a choice of white, black, dolphin grey or yellow slip-resistant inserts, it can also be paired with lighting options to enhance step demarcation in low-light conditions.
