What is a 65mm × 42mm Heavy Duty Aluminium Stair Nosing?
This 65mm × 42mm heavy duty anodised aluminium stair nosing is a large-profile surface-mount step edge protector designed for demanding residential and commercial stair applications. At 65mm wide, it provides substantially greater tread coverage than standard nosings, while the full-width machined ribbing across the tread surface delivers robust anti-slip performance without the need for a separate rubber or PVC insert. The 42mm face drop gives complete coverage of the riser edge, protecting it from impact and wear. Available in 5 anodised finishes and 3 lengths for full versatility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is this nosing wider than standard profiles?
At 65mm wide, this nosing covers more of the stair tread than standard 44-46mm profiles. The wider coverage provides greater edge protection, more anti-slip surface area, and a more prominent visual definition of each step edge — beneficial in high-traffic or safety-sensitive environments.
Does the ribbed surface provide enough grip without a rubber insert?
Yes. The machined aluminium ridges across the full 65mm tread are an inherent part of the profile structure and provide effective grip in both dry and normal indoor conditions. For wet outdoor environments, additional anti-slip tape may be considered.
Can this be cut to a shorter length?
Yes. All lengths cut with a metal saw or angle grinder. File cut edges smooth.
How many nosings do I need?
One per stair tread. The 0.9m covers one standard domestic step; the 2.7m can cover multiple steps when cut to width.
Is this suitable for commercial use?
Yes — the large 65mm × 42mm profile and full-width ribbing make this well-suited to commercial environments including offices, retail, and hospitality venues.
