Key Features and Benefits

• Enhanced safety on every step: The coarse GRP surface with R13 rating provides superior grip underfoot, significantly reducing the likelihood of slips in wet, oily or dusty conditions.
• Long-term durability: The combination of a rigid aluminium base and tough GRP insert offers excellent resistance to impact, wear and heavy footfall.
• Low-profile design: At just 5mm thick, the nosing integrates neatly with existing floor finishes, helping to eliminate unnecessary trip points at the stair edge.
• All-weather performance: Weather and UV resistance ensure the nosing performs consistently on outdoor staircases, fire escapes and exposed access routes.
• Easy to retrofit: Can be installed onto existing stairs with appropriate fixings and adhesive, providing a quick upgrade to stair safety with minimal disruption.
• Improved visibility: The defined nosing edge gives a clear indication of the step front, helping users better judge stair depth and position, especially in lower light conditions.
