Description

This commercial GRP stair nosing is a heavy-duty, anti-slip profile designed to significantly improve stair safety in high-traffic environments. Manufactured from glass reinforced plastic (GRP), it provides a hard-wearing, corrosion-resistant edge to existing steps while delivering reliable slip resistance in both wet and dry conditions.

With an R13 slip rating and fire testing to recognised standards, this stair nosing is ideal for commercial, industrial and public access staircases where compliance, durability and user safety are essential. It is suitable for use on internal and external stairs, and can be retrofitted to existing steps to upgrade their safety performance.
