Description
These heavy duty GRP stair nosings provide a hard‑wearing, anti‑slip edge for stair treads in busy commercial, industrial and public environments. Manufactured from glass reinforced plastic (GRP), they offer excellent durability and a long service life, even in harsh or high‑traffic conditions.
Designed to clearly define the step edge and significantly improve underfoot grip, these nosings help reduce the risk of slips, trips and falls on both internal and external stairs. Available in a choice of colours, lengths and profiles, they are suitable for retrofitting to most existing staircases in workplaces, public buildings and residential blocks.
Product Features
- Heavy duty GRP construction for exceptional strength and long‑term performance on heavily used staircases.
- Choice of anti‑slip grades: Fine (Internal) for indoor applications and Coarse (External) for outdoor or exposed environments.
- Two profile sizes: 55mm x 55mm and 70mm x 30mm to suit a wide range of step dimensions and design preferences.
- High visibility colour options: Yellow, White and Black to aid step edge definition and compliance with safety guidance.
- Supplied in multiple standard lengths, including 600mm, 750mm, 800mm, 1000mm, 1200mm, 1500mm, 2000mm and 3000mm for reduced cutting and waste.
- Corrosion‑resistant, rot‑proof and suitable for use in wet, oily or chemically exposed areas.
- Compatible with mechanical fixings and suitable adhesives for simple installation on concrete, timber, metal and other common substrates.
Key Features and Benefits
- Improved stair safety: Aggressive anti‑slip surface delivers reliable traction underfoot, helping to prevent accidents in both dry and wet conditions.
- Enhanced step visibility: Contrasting colour options clearly highlight the leading edge of each step, assisting users with reduced vision and improving wayfinding.
- Durable in demanding environments: GRP construction resists impact, heavy footfall, moisture and many common chemicals, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
- Versatile installation: Multiple lengths and profile sizes allow straightforward fitting to new or existing stairs with minimal on‑site cutting.
- All‑weather performance: Coarse external grade provides effective grip outdoors, while the fine internal grade gives safe, comfortable traction inside.
- Low maintenance: The non‑rusting, non‑rotting profile requires only periodic cleaning to maintain appearance and slip‑resistance.
