It is a tile-in profile: the nosing is bedded into the tile adhesive at the edge of each step while the stair is being tiled, and the tile butts up to it, so it sits flush with the tread. The 56mm tread carries a 50mm quartz textured insert and the 55mm apron covers the riser tile. It suits indoor and outdoor tiled steps and offers excellent durability and slip resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cfigure\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/5274\/2046\/files\/tile-in-stair-nosing-56x55-quartz-insert-technical-drawing.png?v=1793030730\" alt=\"Heavy duty 56 x 55mm tile-in stair nosing with quartz textured insert technical drawing, cross-section and insert LRVs\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA harder-wearing insert\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 50mm insert is a blend of PVC and silica quartz with a raised pyramid pattern, made for wet and dry conditions.
