About Stair Nosings & Anti-slip products

Commercial stair nosing is suited to projects where stairs receive regular foot traffic and the edge detail needs to be specified with the floor finish. This page lists the SMN910 StepMaster Stair Nosing Profile by Freedom Strategies, along with stair insert profiles such as the SMI501 and SMI505. Check the profile dimensions, material and fixing method against the stair construction before selecting a product.

Enhance your stair safety with the essential addition of high-grade stair nosings. Celebrated for their improved traction and increased visibility, stair nosings are a critical component in preventing slips and falls on stairs. Peruse our extensive collection of stair nosings, thoughtfully compiled from premier manufacturers in New Zealand.

Stair safety

Safety step nosing can define the front edge of a tread and provide a contrasting detail where visibility is part of the brief. The listings include KronoSwiss - Fabricate Stair Nosing (Custom Made) by Parks Flooring, which is relevant when the stair finish requires a made-to-measure component. Confirm the tread depth, edge radius and finish with the manufacturer or installer.

Nosing strips for stairs need to suit the location, substrate and expected cleaning routine. Alongside stair profiles, the page lists SWISS GriP Safety Floor Coating | Black and SWISS GriP Aqua Floorline | Traffic Yellow by SlipSafe, as well as SlipSafe Green Cleaner 500ml Bottle. Review the product instructions for surface preparation, application and maintenance before work begins.

How do I specify a commercial stair nosing?

Record the stair width, tread material, nosing projection and fixing method, then confirm the profile is compatible with the existing or proposed finish. Allow for any required visual contrast in the project brief.

Where can safety step nosing be used?

Use it where the stair edge needs a defined finish and the product is suitable for the substrate and setting. Confirm the installation requirements before applying it to timber, concrete or another stair surface. For external stair nosings, confirm that the product is specified for the site’s exposure and substrate.

What should I check when choosing nosing strips for stairs?

Check the strip dimensions, surface compatibility, slip-resistance information and cleaning requirements. The manufacturer’s installation instructions should also state how the strip is fixed and prepared for use. A non slip nosing should suit the tread material, with its dimensions and fixing method checked against the stair detail.
