Description
This castellated ramp back stair nosing is a robust aluminium profile designed to provide a defined, slip-resistant edge to stairs while accommodating resilient floor coverings up to approximately 3mm thick. Its gently ramped back edge allows a neat transition from the floor finish to the nosing, reducing trip hazards and protecting the leading edge of the step.
Ideal for commercial and residential projects alike, this nosing is suitable for use on internal staircases in offices, schools, retail units, apartment blocks and public buildings. Available in a choice of premium finishes and stock lengths, it offers a practical, long-lasting solution wherever a durable and clearly defined stair edge is required.
Product Features
- Castellated 71mm tread provides excellent slip-resistance and clear definition to the step edge.

- Manufactured from hard-wearing aluminium for strength, durability and long service life.
- Available in a range of finishes: Dark Bronze, Mill Finish, Mirroflect Silver, Mirrorflect Gold, Satin Black, Satin Bronze and Satin Gold.
- Supplied in practical stock lengths of 2.44 metres (2440mm), 2.75 metres (2750mm) and 3.22 metres (3220mm) for minimised waste and easy cutting on site.
- Suitable for use with vinyl, lino and other thin floor coverings on stairs and landings.
- Pre-formed profile for straightforward screw-fix installation to timber, concrete or metal stairs (fixings not included).
