Which Stair Nosing Should I Choose?

When it comes to safety, one of the best things you can do is to ensure that your stairs are free from trip hazards and are providing the safest access or exit points available. Stair nosing plays a huge role in creating a safe environment across both indoor and outdoor environments but it can be confusing trying to choose the most appropriate material for your application. This guide will help to unravel some of the confusion surrounding the various types of stair nosing.

Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic

If it’s industrial strength, hard wearing, all weather stair nosing you want, then this is it. Suitable for high traffic areas and access stairs in marine, mining and factory environments. Deals well with grit, grime and oil and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. These can be cut to the lengths you require and then easily installed using a strong adhesive. We suggest using “Sikaflex” commonly available from hardware stores. It is a polyurethane based joint sealant for use on most cement, brick, epoxy, polyester, metal and timber surfaces. Please see the manufacturer's website for more information regarding the use of this product for your particular needs.
