Technical Specifications

5 Key Benefits

• Premium Anodised Aluminium Construction — Unlike cheap extruded aluminium alternatives, this nosing features a true anodised finish that is harder, more corrosion-resistant, and far more durable. The surface won't tarnish, pit, or corrode even in humid environments.
• Integrated Black Rubber Anti-Slip Insert — The precision-moulded black rubber insert is embedded into the aluminium body, providing exceptional grip underfoot while creating a sharp, contrasting visual step-edge indicator that aids depth perception for elderly residents and visually impaired users.
• Universal Stair Compatibility — Suitable for virtually any stair surface: wooden, laminate, carpet, vinyl, ceramic tile, stone, or concrete. Works equally well in residential homes, commercial offices, retail premises, and public buildings.
• Screw-Fix Permanent Installation — Unlike adhesive-only products, this aluminium nosing is screw-fixed using the included screws and wall plugs, creating a permanent, rattle-free installation that will not lift, shift, or peel over time, regardless of foot traffic volume.
• Clean Professional Finish — The streamlined silver profile enhances the appearance of any staircase, delivering a high-end finish that looks like a professionally installed architectural detail rather than an afterthought safety addition.

Applications

• Residential Staircases — Ideal for wooden or laminate stairs in homes, flats, bungalows. Provides both safety and a premium appearance.
• Commercial Premises — Offices, retail outlets, hotels, and restaurants where health and safety compliance demands permanent, robust anti-slip stair protection.
• Public Buildings — Schools, hospitals, libraries, and care homes where the safety of all users regardless of mobility must be assured.
• Renovation Projects — The clean aluminium profile works beautifully in staircase renovation projects, covering worn or damaged step edges while improving both safety and aesthetics.
• New Build Properties — Specified by builders and developers seeking a long-lasting, professional stair finish without ongoing maintenance requirements.

Installation Guide

1. Measure Your Steps — Measure the width of your stairs. The 1.2m nosing can be easily cut to the precise width required using a hacksaw or aluminium-rated circular saw blade.
2. Mark Fixing Positions — Position the nosing on the front edge of the step and mark the screw positions (typically every 250–300mm and at both ends).
3. Pre-Drill Pilot Holes — Use an appropriate drill bit to create pilot holes at the marked positions. For hard surfaces, insert the supplied wall plugs.
4. Position & Screw — Place the nosing in position, aligning the profile with the step edge. Drive the supplied screws through the pre-drilled holes until firmly seated. Do not overtighten.
5. Check & Adjust — Ensure the nosing sits flush and flat against the step. The anti-slip insert should be fully exposed on the top surface of the step edge.
6. Finishing — For a completely clean installation, consider applying a small bead of clear silicone sealant along each long edge where the nosing meets the stair surface, if required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I cut this to a shorter length?

A: Absolutely. Aluminium cuts cleanly and easily with a hacksaw. Make any cut with masking tape applied along the cut line to prevent surface scratching, then deburr the cut edge with fine sandpaper or a file.

Q: Is it suitable for outdoor steps?

A: Yes. The anodised aluminium finish is corrosion-resistant and suitable for covered external steps and porches. For fully exposed outdoor use, ensure adequate drainage around the fixing screws to prevent rust staining (use stainless steel screws for fully exposed locations).

Q: How many pieces are in a pack?

A: Each pack contains 2 nosing strips (each 1.2m long), plus the necessary screws and wall plugs for installation. This provides excellent value for covering multiple steps.

Q: Will this work on carpeted stairs?

A: Yes. The nosing can be installed over existing carpet on the step edge. The screws will pass through the carpet into the underlying wood. This also helps secure the carpet edge from fraying or lifting.

Q: Is the anti-slip insert replaceable?

A: The rubber insert is permanently integrated into the aluminium body. However, the high-grade rubber is extremely durable under normal residential use and should last as long as the aluminium body — 15–20+ years.
