Non-Slip PVC Stair Nosing with Glow Strip – 40mm x 40mm x 1.18m
Flexible Grooved Stair Edge Profile with Photoluminescent Safety Strip
Improve stair-edge grip and visibility with our 40mm x 40mm Non-Slip PVC Stair Nosing with Glow Strip. Designed for straight-finished stair treads, this flexible profile combines a grooved anti-slip surface with an integrated photoluminescent strip.
The glow strip absorbs natural or artificial light and gradually releases it when surrounding light levels fall, helping make the stair edge easier to identify in darker conditions. This makes the profile particularly useful in indoor areas where additional stair-edge visibility is beneficial.
Manufactured from a durable PVC compound with shape-memory characteristics, the profile is designed to adapt closely to compatible stair edges while maintaining its form. The grooved surface adds traction beneath the foot, while the 40mm x 40mm profile helps protect exposed stair corners from scratches, chips and everyday wear.
Supplied in a 1.18m length and available in a wide range of colours, the profile can be trimmed to individual stair widths. Installation requires no drilling and can be completed using suitable assembly adhesive or double-sided adhesive tape applied to the upper section.

Benefits of This PVC Stair Nosing
Improved Visibility in Low Light
The integrated photoluminescent strip absorbs light during normal conditions and becomes visible when the surrounding area becomes darker, helping identify the stair edge.
Added Grip at the Step Edge
The grooved upper surface provides additional texture beneath the foot, helping improve traction during everyday staircase use.
Protects Vulnerable Stair Edges
The 40mm x 40mm profile covers the exposed stair corner and helps reduce damage caused by scuffing, knocks, scratches and everyday wear.
Flexible Shape-Memory Construction
The PVC compound is designed to adapt to compatible stair-edge shapes while retaining its intended profile.
No-Drill Installation
The nosing can be installed using suitable assembly adhesive or double-sided adhesive tape, avoiding the need to drill into the staircase.

Installation Guide
Adhesive or Tape Installation
- Measure the width of the stair carefully.
- Mark the required length on the 1.18m PVC profile.
- Cut the stair nosing neatly to size using a suitable cutting tool.
- Allow the profile to reach a suitable room temperature before fitting.
- If the PVC is cold or stiff, gently warm it where appropriate to improve flexibility.
- Ensure the stair surface is sound, level, clean and dry.
- Remove dust, grease, dirt and loose material.
- Test-position the profile over the stair edge.
- Apply suitable assembly adhesive or double-sided adhesive tape to the upper section.
- Position the stair nosing accurately over the edge.
- Press firmly along the complete upper surface.
- Check that the profile sits neatly and consistently around the stair edge.
- Allow the adhesive to set fully according to the manufacturer's instructions before using the staircase.
- Expose the photoluminescent strip to natural or artificial light so it can charge before low-light use.
Always select an adhesive or tape that is compatible with both the PVC profile and the stair substrate.
Why Choose This Non-Slip PVC Stair Nosing?

Its flexible PVC construction, no-drill installation and cut-to-size 1.18m length make it a practical option for residential, commercial and public interior staircase projects.
