Description
These GRP anti-slip stair nosings provide a fast, effective way to make stair edges safer and more visible in line with DDA guidelines. Manufactured from hard‑wearing glass reinforced plastic with a textured, non-slip surface, they are designed to be retrofitted over existing steps with minimal disruption.
Suitable for internal and external stairs in commercial, industrial and public buildings, these nosings clearly define step edges, reduce slip risks and improve accessibility. Available in a choice of colours, lengths and profile grades, they can be cut to size on site for a neat, professional finish.
Product Features
- Durable GRP construction with integral anti-slip grit finish for long-lasting performance.
- Available in fine grade profiles for internal use and coarse grade profiles for external or high-contamination areas.
- Two profile sizes: 55mm x 55mm or 70mm x 30mm, suitable for most common stair treads and risers.
- Choice of high-visibility Yellow, clean White or discreet Black to suit different environments and contrast requirements.
- Supplied in a wide range of standard lengths: 600mm, 750mm, 800mm, 1000mm, 1200mm, 1500mm, 2000mm and 3000mm.
- Can be cut to length on site using appropriate tools for a precise fit to existing steps.
- Simple, fast installation by mechanical fixing and/or adhesive onto concrete, timber, metal or tiled stairs.
Key Features and Benefits
- Improves stair safety by providing a high-friction surface that reduces the risk of slips, even in wet or contaminated conditions.
- Enhances visual contrast at step edges to assist compliance with DDA and equality guidelines and support partially sighted users.
- Retrofits over worn, damaged or slippery stair edges, extending the life of existing steps without costly replacement.
- Weather, corrosion and chemical resistant GRP is ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications, including harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these GRP stair nosings suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. The coarse grade profiles are specifically recommended for external or heavily trafficked areas as they provide additional grip in wet or contaminated conditions. The GRP material is weather and corrosion resistant, making it suitable for long-term outdoor use.
How do I choose between the 55mm x 55mm and 70mm x 30mm profiles?
The 55mm x 55mm profile provides equal coverage on the tread and riser and is ideal for many standard stairs. The 70mm x 30mm profile offers a wider tread coverage with a smaller riser face, which can be preferable where a broader anti-slip area on the step surface is required or where riser height is limited.
Can the nosings be cut to fit my stairs?
Yes. The nosings can be cut to length on site using appropriate cutting tools suitable for GRP, such as a fine-toothed saw or angle grinder with suitable blade. Always follow relevant safety guidance when cutting and ensure all cut edges are smoothed before installation.
