A 70 x 32mm rake back aluminium stair nosing with a ramped rear edge and a textured High Grip insert. It combines an angled front leg for sloping risers with a ramp at the back for hard floors, so it suits concrete and steel stairs finished in LVT, wood or vinyl. It is the profile to choose when neither a square nosing nor a standard upstand fits.
Choose Obsidian or Solar insert in any of nine aluminium finishes, in 2.44m, 2.75m or 3.22m stock lengths for cutting on site.
The 32mm front leg leans back to follow a raked riser, so it seats along its full depth. At the back of the 70mm top leg, the ramp tapers down to floor level, so LVT, wood and other hard floors meet it with no raised lip.
A smooth PVC insert is fine on a dry, quiet stair. Once a step gets wet, grip comes from texture. This insert has a textured PVC face, and its pendulum results are 95 dry and 60 wet, measured by an independent laboratory. Under UK Slip Resistance Group guidance, 36 or more means low slip potential. One full-width strip sits on the step edge, exactly where feet land as people come down the stair.
The insert colour does the safety work. Solar, a golden yellow at LRV 55.10, stands out on grey, blue and dark floors. Obsidian, a near-black at LRV 1.80, stands out on beige, white and light grey. Your floorcovering's LRV is on its data sheet.
If your risers are vertical, the 70 x 32mm square front ramp back is the better fit. If you are laying carpet, choose the 56 x 32mm rake back with a standard gauge.
Mill Finish is plain aluminium for service and back-of-house stairs. Bright Polished and Satin Silver give a bright or soft silver line. Satin Gold, Satin Bronze, Dark Bronze and Satin Black suit timber-effect, stone-effect and dark floors. Mirrorflect Silver and Mirrorflect Gold are mirror-bright for reception and front-of-house stairs.
Raked concrete and steel stairs finished in LVT, engineered wood, laminate or vinyl: office cores, retail and restaurant stairs, mezzanines, college buildings and refurbished commercial stairwells. For outside steps, use the exterior-insert version of this profile.

Insert colour. Pick for contrast. Solar on mid-grey, blue, green and dark floors; Obsidian on pale floors such as light grey, beige or white. Both colours are the same price.
Finish. Mill Finish is the lowest price, then Bright Polished, then Satin Gold. Dark Bronze, Satin Black, Satin Silver and Satin Bronze share the middle price. Mirrorflect Silver comes next. Mirrorflect Gold costs the most. Satin finishes hide scuffs best on busy stairs.
Length. Measure every step, then choose the stock length that cuts into those widths with the least waste. Order a spare where widths vary.
Cut each length to the step width with a fine-toothed blade for aluminium and de-burr the ends. The step must be clean, dry and sound. Screw-fix through the channel with fixings to suit the substrate, or bed the profile on a stair nosing adhesive. Clean and dry the channel, peel the backing from the self-adhesive insert and press it firmly into place over the fixings. Lay the floorcovering up to the ramped back so it finishes flush. Sweep and damp-mop the insert regularly, because trodden-in dirt fills the texture and reduces grip. Avoid abrasive pads on polished and coloured finishes.
The pendulum test results for this insert are 95 dry and 60 wet, measured at an independent friction-testing laboratory. Under UK Slip Resistance Group guidance, a pendulum value of 36 or more indicates low slip potential, so the insert stays well above that line when wet. The figures apply to a clean insert, so keep the textured face free of dirt and polish build-up.
Rake back describes the front leg, which is angled to follow a riser that slopes back under the nose. Ramp back describes the rear of the profile, which tapers down to floor level for hard floors. This nosing has both.
No. The High Grip insert is rated for internal use, with a service temperature range of -10°C to 80°C. For external steps, choose a profile with an exterior-grade insert, which is listed separately.
Vinyl, LVT, wood and other hard flooring. The ramped back gives a smooth transition without a lip. For carpet, use a standard rake back profile.
Choose by contrast with the floor, not by matching it. Obsidian has an LRV of 1.80 and Solar 55.10. Aim for a difference of more than 30 LRV points between the insert and the surrounding floor: Solar for mid and dark floors, Obsidian for pale ones. Your floorcovering manufacturer publishes its LRV on the product data sheet.
Each variant is one length of nosing in your chosen finish, insert colour and stock length, with the insert supplied. Screws and adhesive are not included.

At this price, its a brilliant solution for our stairway in the warehouse where the steps get damp and dusty. The grip on the nosing is fantastic - whether wet or dry, it holds firm thanks to the insert. Holding up nicely so far even with heavy foot traffic.
Had to sort out the slipping issue on the marble steps at the hotel, and Im glad I gave this a try. The build quality is top-notch; you can really feel its solid underfoot. Plus, even when things get slick from the rain or floor polish, the insert holds its grip brilliantly. All in all, a tidy fit that looks smart and performs well too.
Arrived swiftly and slotted easily onto our office stairs. Weve got this sleek number installed now, complete with the insert which feels especially grippy even in wet conditions. Its sturdy enough for constant foot traffic and definitely gives a good finish—wouldnt hesitate to get another if needed!
Works a treat. Sorted out the jagged edges on our wooden staircase without any fuss! The best part was how simple it was to fit; had it done in an afternoon, and even under wet conditions, the insert gives fantastic grip.
Unbelievably sturdy. When I unpacked the stair nosing, the weight and build of it really impressed me. Once fitted, it blended effortlessly onto our wooden stairs. The Mor Grip insert remained dependable even when our merry bunch barges up them with wet shoes! So far, its held up great against daily traffic and natural wear.
Got this for the busy steps at our local library to keep them safe when it’s rainy or damp. The nose fits snugly, and the insert does a fine job maintaining grip underfoot, even when wet. Id use these strips again for other heavy traffic areas without hesitation.
Fitted it to my garden deck steps two weeks ago. Wasnt sure how well the grip insert would perform since its fairly coarse, but it keeps its hold even in rainy weather, which has been frequent. Happily surprised with how easy it was to apply and cut despite expecting a bit of a struggle given its thick profile.
Wasnt sure at first about using this tread on our local park steps, but the grip insert proved its worth on a blustery and wet autumn day. Simple to fit and it handled the heavy footfall effortlessly—perfect for adding some security where its much needed when its windy outside.
Had to sort out the slippery stairs at our local library, and this stair nosing did the trick! That coarse insert holds up even when its raining outside and folks are trekking in mud. Would definitely get another batch if we tackle more staircases—its built to last.
Really happy with this Rake Back Aluminium Stair Nosing 70 x 32mm, Mor Grip Insert. Good quality and works as described.
Works a treat for what I needed. Used on the steps leading to my office, these strips have been nothing short of essential in keeping things safe underfoot, even when it’s drizzly outside. Noticed that the insert handles frequent comings and goings beautifully without showing signs of wear.
Came in secure packaging, easy to unpack. Straight away, noticed the quality; the trapezoidal grip strip really stands out when you first handle it. Used this on a frequently trodden hospital stair and the insert holds up impressively, even with constant foot traffic throughout the day.
Got this for replacing old stair nosing on the hospitals emergency exit stairs. The grip it offers, thanks to that coarse insert, has been solid even under constant foot traffic and rainy conditions. Much better than I expected over the past couple of months—easy to install and really stands up to heavy usage.
Remarkably sturdy. This stair nosing with the insert was incredibly straightforward to fit, even in our bustling city centre office. It handled everyday foot traffic beautifully without losing its grip, even after a hectic week of wet weather.
Installed it alongside the pool steps just last week. Was impressed by how solidly built it feels underfoot, even in the wettest conditions. The insert does a fantastic job ensuring no one slips, adding that extra peace of mind were always after.
