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 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 it comes in colours measured for light reflectance value (LRV), it also gives 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. That shallow chevron lets the face finish close to the riser covering, so the edge of a medium-weight carpet or a smooth floor covering tucks in below it and is protected from scuffing.

  • 5mm-gauge aluminium alloy, 64mm tread x 65mm riser
  • One 50 x 4mm slip-resistant PVC insert
  • Nine finishes, nineteen insert colours including Hazard
  • Supplied plain for adhesive fixing; Peel & Stick listed separately

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. Lengths are supplied plain. A self-adhesive version is listed separately as Peel & Stick.

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. Bed each length in a suitable stair-nosing adhesive, adding mechanical fixings if your specification or the substrate calls for them, and press it down firmly along the 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.
Yes. The same profile is listed separately as Peel & Stick, with adhesive tape factory-applied to the underside, for flat, sound, dry step edges.
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.
Order the 2.75m or 3.22m listing of the same profile to avoid a joint, or butt two lengths neatly at a mid-point. Every length can be cut down on site.

Works a treat for sprucing up our concrete warehouse staircase. We were battling with wear and tear, but this hefty aluminium nosing fits snugly and went in smoothly without any gaps. For what its priced against, the sheer quality of this heavy duty aluminium stair nosing is hard to beat—I’ll be getting more when we extend the mezzanine!

Installed it on the steps at our local parks amphitheatre a few months ago. Its been through all sorts of weather and heavy foot traffic, but the alloy hasnt budged an inch and still feels just as solid underfoot. No more trips or slips around here - its held up wonderfully to continuous use!

Got this for the entrance to our library stairs, aiming to give them a finished look. The stair nosing blends seamlessly with the overall aesthetics and enhances the appearance near the book stacks. It imbues a professional and tidy finish that holds up well under heavy foot traffic.
