Stair nosings improve safety, visibility and durability on staircases. They help reduce slips by adding grip at the leading edge, protect stair treads from impact and wear, and can support compliance with UK accessibility expectations where step-edge contrast and slip resistance are important.
Whether you need a single replacement stair nosing or a full project supply, browse our range of anti-slip stair nosings in multiple profiles and finishes — including options for LVT, laminate, vinyl, and bullnose stair nosings.
Stair nosings are not explicitly mandated in every situation, but they are commonly used to meet the intent of UK accessibility and building safety guidance (including the principles set out in Part M and BS 8300) where stair edges present a slip/trip risk or where improved visual contrast is required. If you’re working in public, commercial, or high-footfall settings, selecting the right profile and slip-resistant surface is often essential.
Select a stair nosing that matches your finished floor and installation method:
For high-traffic or higher-risk areas (such as hospitals, public buildings, schools and industrial sites), choose stair nosings designed to increase traction at the leading edge. Many options use anti-slip inserts and robust surface textures to improve grip. You can also match the right shape to your stair design with square, bullnose, and rake-back profiles.
For heavy-duty applications, browse our commercial stair nosings.
Many stair nosings are available with pre-drilled holes for secure mechanical fixing, while other profiles suit adhesive installation depending on the substrate and environment. Once installed, stair nosings help maintain a professional finish and reduce ongoing stair-edge maintenance.
