STAIR NOSINGS

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

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.

Are Stair Nosings Required in the UK?

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.

Why Use Stair Nosings?

  • Improve safety: Increased traction at the stair edge helps reduce slips and falls.
  • Protect stair edges: Prevents chipping, cracking, and premature wear at the most impacted part of the step.
  • Enhance visibility: Options with inserts and contrast finishes help define step edges for safer navigation.
  • Support compliance: Better slip resistance and visibility can help you meet accessibility expectations in many environments.

Choose by Flooring Type

Select a stair nosing that matches your finished floor and installation method:

Types & Materials – Aluminium, GRP, PVC & More

  • Aluminium, brass & stainless steel: Durable, hard-wearing nosings for residential or commercial use (including suitable options for external applications, depending on profile and fixing method).
  • GRP stair nosings: Excellent for wet, external, and industrial environments where high grip is essential.
  • PVC & rubber: Flexible, cost-effective options designed for busy indoor areas.
  • Wooden stair nosings: Classic finishes for home staircases and interior renovations.

Slip Resistance & Safety – Selecting an Anti-Slip Stair Nosing

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.

Easy to Fit & Maintain

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.

Explore our full range of aluminium stair nosings and laminate stair nosings to find the right match for your project.

Choosing the Right Stair Nosing

To choose the best stair nosing, consider:

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

Use the filters on this page or read our nosing for stairs guide for help selecting the right product.
