Commercial stair nosings are heavy-duty stair edge profiles designed for use in high-traffic public and commercial buildings. They improve step-edge visibility, provide slip resistance and help reduce the risk of slips, trips and falls on staircases.
In many public and commercial environments, stair nosings are required to meet the guidance set out in Approved Document M (Part M) and BS8300. These standards focus on accessibility, visual contrast and stair safety in buildings used by the public.
Commercial stair nosings are commonly installed in schools, hospitals, offices, retail premises, transport facilities and other high-footfall environments where stair safety and durability are essential.
For commercial and public buildings, stair nosings should typically achieve a Pendulum Test Value (PTV) of 40 or above to provide effective slip resistance in both wet and dry conditions.
Aluminium and GRP (glass reinforced plastic) are among the most widely specified materials for commercial stair nosings due to their strength, durability and suitability for demanding environments.
