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 3.22m 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.

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 for bedding in adhesive. A Peel & Stick version with factory-applied tape is available on request.

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, on request. The manufacturer can supply the same profile as Peel & Stick, with adhesive tape factory-applied to the underside. Contact us with the finish, insert colour and quantity for a quote.
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.

Customer photo review of Heavy Duty Chevron Aluminium Stair Nosing 3.22m, Single Insert, 65mm Riser

Works brilliantly. Needed something to guard the stairs in our warehouse, and this hefty bit of kit really spruces them up while offering practicality. Compared with other heavy duty stair nosing options we checked out, this one offers top value without scrimping on quality—built like a tank and hasn’t budged in months despite constant use.

Had to upgrade the entryway of our local museum, and these strips genuinely hold their ground. Expected something that might stand up to regular footfall, but it’s proven good with surprisingly little maintenance required. Holds a surprisingly smart look considering all the umbrellas being shaken off there lately!

Delivered looking unexpectedly sleek and shiny. We popped it into our office building entryway a few weeks ago, and honestly, its grip in rainy weather has been absolute wizardry! Couldnt have asked for better from this heavy duty stair nosing in terms of providing stability where really needed.

Wasnt sure at first when it turned up in such sturdy packaging, but this meaty strip fitted bang on. Covered the edges like a glove and handled heavy use without budging. The heavy duty stair nosing just does the trick for our crowded station; such solid delivery so nothing went amiss.

Installed it about six months back in our hotel lobby and this runners handled foot traffic better than I thought it would. Barely a scratch on the finish, even with guests clattering about in heels, and still hugging those marble edges tight. Expected more wear by now but its holding strong.

Bought this for the steps leading up to our university building, and it’s added a sleek finish that looks fab against the granite. The stair nosing not only handles the heavy foot traffic brilliantly but also handles wet weather admirably. I’d definitely consider using this nosing on other staircases given how seamlessly it fits into the overall look while providing extra safety.

Incredibly robust. The stair nosing arrived promptly and in pristine condition, snug in its packaging. Cutting it to the correct length was straightforward with a standard hacksaw, making installation seamless on our warehouse steps. Its exceeded expectations by providing extra grip and durability day after day amidst bustling activity.
