Description
This GRP Anti Slip Stair Nosing R13 is a robust aluminium stair edging profile with a heavy-duty, grit-textured insert designed to dramatically improve slip resistance on stair treads. With a low 5mm profile and a high-performance R13 anti-slip rating, it offers dependable footing in both dry and wet conditions, helping to reduce the risk of slips, trips and falls.
Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, this stair nosing is ideal for commercial, industrial and high-traffic public environments where safety and durability are paramount. It can be retrofitted to existing stairs or incorporated into new installations on concrete, timber, metal and many other substrates.
Product Features
- High-traction GRP (glass-reinforced plastic) anti-slip surface with R13 slip resistance rating.
- Durable aluminium carrier profile for long-lasting performance on internal and external stairs.
- Low 5mm overall thickness to minimise trip hazard and provide a neat, low-profile finish.
- Designed for use on most stair substrates, including concrete, wood, steel and tiled treads.
- Suitable for high-traffic commercial and industrial environments, as well as public access areas.
- Weather-, UV- and corrosion-resistant construction for reliable outdoor performance.
- Pre-formed nosing edge for a defined step front and clearer visual demarcation.
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.
