Key Features
Bullnose Rounded Profile
The smooth, rounded leading edge wraps neatly over the front of the stair tread, providing a clean transition between the nosing and the riser below. This profile is particularly suited to staircases where a refined, architectural finish is required.
Double Insert Channel
Two parallel insert channels run the full length of the nosing, accommodating exterior-grade PVC anti-slip strips. The dual-channel configuration increases the effective slip-resistant surface area across the tread edge.
Exterior-Grade PVC Inserts
The inserts are formulated for exterior performance, retaining their grip and dimensional stability in wet, cold, and UV-exposed conditions. They are equally effective indoors, making this nosing a genuinely dual-purpose solution.
3.5mm Gauge Aluminium Body
The 3.5mm wall thickness provides a robust, rigid profile that resists deformation under foot traffic and trolley loads, while remaining light enough for straightforward single-person installation.
Five Premium Finishes
Choose from Mill Finish, Satin Gold, Dark Bronze, Satin Black, or Mirrorflect Gold to complement the surrounding interior scheme. Each finish is applied to the aluminium extrusion for a consistent, long-lasting appearance.
Three Stock Lengths
Available in 2.44 m, 2.75 m, and 3.22 m lengths to suit a wide range of stair widths. All lengths can be cut to size on site without specialist tooling, reducing installation time and material waste.
Typical Applications
- Commercial office buildings and corporate reception staircases
- Schools, colleges, and university buildings
- Apartment blocks, housing developments, and communal stairwells
- Hotels, restaurants, and hospitality venues
- Retail units, shopping centres, and public-access buildings
- External steps, entrance staircases, and covered walkways
- Refurbishment projects requiring a neat, durable stair edge finish
Insert Selection Guide
Three exterior-grip insert colours are available to suit different aesthetic and visibility requirements. Brimstone (a warm yellow tone) offers high contrast against dark floor coverings and is a popular choice where enhanced visual definition of the stair edge is a priority. Coal (a deep charcoal) provides a discreet, understated finish that blends with darker aluminium profiles and neutral floor tones. Everest (a light grey-white) works well against mid-tone and light-coloured floor coverings, offering a clean, contemporary appearance. All three insert colours are manufactured from the same exterior-grade PVC compound and deliver equivalent anti-slip performance.
