Aluminium Stair Nosing – 40mm x 20mm
Anodised Grooved Anti-Slip Stair Edge Trim in 1m & 2m Lengths
Protect exposed stair edges and improve grip with our 40mm x 20mm Aluminium Stair Nosing. Manufactured from durable anodised aluminium, this compact profile features a grooved anti-slip surface designed to provide additional traction at the front of each step.
The 40mm top section covers the stair tread edge, while the 20mm front face helps protect vulnerable corners from everyday wear, chipping and minor impact damage. Its low-profile design provides practical protection without creating an unnecessarily bulky finish.
Suitable for compatible ceramic tile, wood and laminate stair installations, the profile is available in Silver, Gold and Champagne finishes. Choose from 1m and 2m lengths and cut the aluminium to suit individual stair widths where required.
For installation flexibility, the stair nosing can be mechanically secured using suitable screws or bonded with a compatible adhesive, depending on the stair substrate and project requirements.

The precision-grooved aluminium surface provides additional traction at the front of the step, helping create a more secure walking surface.

The profile covers the top and front of the stair edge, helping reduce damage caused by regular foot traffic, knocks and minor impacts.
Durable Anodised Finish
Anodised aluminium provides good resistance to corrosion and everyday wear while maintaining a neat and professional appearance.
Two Installation Options
Choose mechanical screw fixing for a secure installation or use a suitable adhesive where bonding is preferred and compatible with the stair substrate.
Compact 40mm x 20mm Profile
The relatively low-profile design provides useful stair-edge coverage without creating an overly prominent finish.
