A stair nosing protects the leading edge of a step from wear while helping define the step edge underfoot and visually. The right profile depends on factors such as your flooring type, stair profile, location, required slip resistance, fixing method and finish.
Use our Stair Nosing Finder to narrow down the right options based on your flooring, staircase and project requirements.
Find Your Stair NosingThe correct stair nosing should suit the finished flooring and the way it is installed. Browse our specialist ranges for common stair and floor finishes:
Different materials offer different combinations of durability, appearance, slip resistance and suitability for particular environments.
The best stair nosing depends not only on the flooring but also on where the staircase is located and how heavily it will be used.
Stair nosings are available in different shapes and dimensions to suit the staircase, flooring and desired appearance.
For staircases subject to frequent use, wet conditions or demanding environments, slip resistance can be an important consideration when selecting a stair nosing. Anti-slip profiles use textured surfaces or inserts to provide additional grip at the leading edge of the step.
Our anti-slip stair nosing range includes options for different flooring types and applications, including GRP and aluminium profiles. For higher-footfall environments, see our range of commercial stair nosings.
Before selecting a stair nosing, consider the following:

Whether a stair nosing is required depends on the building, staircase and applicable requirements. UK guidance and standards can include provisions relating to stair visibility, accessibility and slip resistance, particularly in public and commercial environments.
Requirements can vary according to the application, so product selection should be considered alongside the relevant Building Regulations, standards, project specification and any requirements applying to the particular building.
Stair nosings are available with different fixing methods depending on the profile, substrate and application. Some products are supplied with pre-drilled holes for mechanical fixing, while others can be installed using suitable adhesives or other fixing systems.
Always check the installation requirements for the specific profile, including the substrate, fixing method, dimensions and manufacturer's recommendations.
A stair nosing is a profile fitted to the leading edge of a stair tread. It can protect the edge of the step from wear while helping define the step edge and, depending on the product, providing additional slip resistance.
The right stair nosing depends on the flooring, stair profile, location, traffic level, required slip resistance, dimensions and fixing method. Use our Stair Nosing Finder to narrow down suitable options.
Commercial staircases often require durable profiles designed for frequent foot traffic. Aluminium, GRP and other heavy-duty anti-slip options are available depending on the flooring, location and project requirements.
Stair nosing and stair edge trim are commonly used to describe profiles fitted to the leading edge of a step. The exact design and application can vary, so the flooring, stair profile and installation requirements should be checked before selecting a product.
Some stair nosings incorporate textured surfaces or anti-slip inserts to provide additional grip at the step edge. The level of slip resistance depends on the particular product and its intended application.
We supply stair nosings for projects across the UK, with delivery options depending on the product and destination.
