Description

On a busy stair, the leading edge of each step takes the hardest wear and causes the most falls. Carpet frays there first, and vinyl lifts there first. This heavy-duty chevron stair nosing is built for that edge. It is a 5mm-gauge extruded aluminium profile that wraps the step: a 64mm top face carries one wide 50mm x 4mm slip-resistant PVC insert, and a 65mm face covers the top of the riser. The riser face is angled in a shallow chevron, which is where the name comes from. It suits contractors, facilities managers and flooring fitters who are specifying stair edges for offices, schools, healthcare buildings, retail units and communal stairs in flats. Each length is 2.44m and can be cut on site. There are nine metal finishes and nineteen insert colours.

Why it works

A 5mm heavyweight section

At 5mm gauge this profile is much thicker than the light trims sold for domestic stairs. A thicker wall takes impacts from trolleys, heels and dropped loads without denting, and it stays straight across a wide step instead of bowing between fixings. That makes it the right choice where a nosing has to last as long as the floor covering around it.

One wide insert in a clear contrasting colour

The single channel holds a 50mm x 4mm PVC insert running the full length of the nosing. It provides the slip-resistant contact strip underfoot. Because the inserts come in colours measured for light reflectance value (LRV), they also give the visual contrast that Approved Document M and BS 8300 ask for on stair nosings. A worn insert can be replaced without lifting the aluminium.

A chevron riser face that protects the carpet edge

The 65mm riser face drops over the step front and angles back near its bottom edge, so it finishes close to the riser covering and the edge of a medium-weight carpet or smooth floor covering tucks in below it. The 65mm face covers a generous band of the riser, protecting the top edge of the riser covering on busy stairs.

  • 5mm-gauge aluminium alloy, 64mm tread x 65mm riser
  • One 50mm x 4mm slip-resistant PVC insert
  • Nine finishes, nineteen insert colours including Hazard
  • Peel & Stick: factory-applied adhesive tape

Where it's used

Typical settings are office and school staircases in contract carpet tiles, hospital and care-home stairs in smooth safety flooring, shopping centre and leisure stairs, and communal stairwells in residential blocks. The manufacturer states that the profile is for medium-weight carpets and heavy-duty smooth flooring. It is an interior product; for external steps, choose an exterior-rated nosing.

Choosing the right option

Insert colour. Choose the insert by contrast with the floor, not by looks alone. Guidance under Approved Document M and BS 8300 is a difference of at least 30 LRV points between the nosing insert and the surrounding floor. These are the manufacturer's stated LRVs: Premium Black 4.48, Dark Blue 5.06, Dark Green 7.96, Blue 9.76, Brown 9.79, Dark Grey 10.16, Mid Grey 17.69, Red 17.70, Mid Brown 21.02, Sage Green 30.13, Apple Green 30.40, Beige 32.64, Polar Grey 42.00, Sahara 49.24, Aura 53.00, Yellow 55.35, Oyster 58.10 and White 73.69. Dark carpet suits a light insert; a light floor suits Premium Black or Dark Grey. Hazard (black and yellow) costs extra.

Finish. Mill is untreated and cheapest. Satin and dark finishes suit most interiors. Bright Polished and Mirrorflect are for feature stairs.

Fixing. Every length in this listing is Peel & Stick: adhesive tape is factory-applied to the underside, so it goes straight down on a sound, flat, dry step edge. For plain lengths to bed in adhesive, see the standard version.

Installation, use & care

Measure each step and cut the nosing with a fine-toothed saw suitable for aluminium, then deburr the cut. The step edge must be sound, clean, dry and square. Dry-fit first, then peel off the backing and press the nosing down firmly along its full length. Clean with a damp mop and neutral detergent, and avoid abrasive pads on polished finishes.

Frequently asked questions

Compare the insert's LRV with your floor's LRV and aim for a difference of at least 30 points. For example, a Yellow insert (LRV 55.35) on a charcoal carpet around LRV 10 gives a clear contrast. Your flooring manufacturer can supply the floor's LRV.
On a clean, sound, flat and dry step edge the factory-applied tape is designed to hold on its own. On uneven, dusty or heavily used stairs, or where your specification asks for it, add mechanical fixings too.
Yes. The manufacturer lists medium-weight carpet and heavy-duty smooth flooring as suitable. The floor covering on the tread butts up to the back of the nosing, and the riser covering finishes under the 65mm face.
Yes. The PVC insert sits in a channel in the aluminium, so a worn or damaged strip can be replaced without removing the nosing. Contact us with the colour and length you need.
