STAIR NOSINGS

Stair Nosings UK – Safer, More Durable Stair Edges for Residential & Commercial Use

Stair nosings improve safety, visibility and durability on staircases by reinforcing the leading edge of each step. They help reduce slips by adding grip, protect stair treads from impact and wear, and support compliance with UK accessibility expectations where step-edge contrast and slip resistance are important.

Whether you need a single replacement or a full project supply, explore our complete range of stair nosings designed for residential, commercial and industrial use. We offer specialist solutions for LVT and vinyl flooring, laminate and wood stairs, and heavy-duty environments requiring enhanced slip resistance.

Are Stair Nosings Required in the UK?

Stair nosings are not explicitly required in every situation, but they are widely used to meet the intent of UK building safety and accessibility guidance, including the principles set out in Part M and BS 8300. In public, commercial, and high-footfall environments, stair nosings help reduce slip and trip risks while improving step-edge visibility for safer navigation.

Why Use Stair Nosings?

  • Improve safety: Anti-slip surfaces increase traction at the stair edge, reducing slips and falls.
  • Protect stair edges: Prevents chipping, cracking, and premature wear to steps.
  • Enhance visibility: Contrast inserts and defined edges improve stair awareness.
  • Support compliance: Helps meet accessibility and safety expectations in many settings.

Choose Stair Nosings by Flooring Type

Selecting the right stair nosing depends on your finished floor and installation method:

Types & Materials – Aluminium, GRP, PVC & More

  • Aluminium, brass & stainless steel stair nosings: Hard-wearing, durable solutions suitable for residential and commercial environments, with selected profiles suitable for external use.
  • GRP stair nosings: Ideal for wet, outdoor, and industrial environments where maximum slip resistance is essential.
  • PVC stair nosings: Durable, cost-effective solutions suitable for both domestic and commercial stairs, with anti-slip surfaces for added safety.
  • Wooden stair nosings: Traditional finishes designed to complement interior timber staircases.
  • Rubber stair treads: Flexible, cost-effective anti-slip solutions designed for busy indoor areas, including concrete, tile, and stone stairs.

Slip Resistance & Safety – Choosing the Right Anti-Slip Stair Nosing

In high-traffic or higher-risk environments such as hospitals, schools, public buildings and industrial facilities, slip resistance is a critical factor. Anti-slip stair nosings are designed with inserts or textured surfaces to improve grip at the leading edge of each step.

For demanding applications, view our range of commercial stair nosings, engineered for durability, safety and long-term performance.

Easy to Install & Maintain

Many stair nosings are available with pre-drilled fixing holes for secure mechanical installation, while others are suitable for adhesive fixing depending on the substrate and environment. Once installed, stair nosings help preserve stair edges and maintain a professional finish with minimal ongoing maintenance.

Choosing the Right Stair Nosing

When selecting a stair nosing, consider:

  • Floor type: laminate, wood, LVT, vinyl, tile or concrete
  • Environment: indoor, outdoor, wet areas or industrial settings
  • Traffic level: domestic, commercial or heavy-duty use
  • Safety requirements: slip resistance and step-edge visibility
