Commercial Stair Nosings

Quantum and contrasting stair nosings for schools, offices, healthcare and public buildings. Fitted with new stair flooring or retro-fitted to existing stairs to improve safety and visibility.

Overview

What it is and why it matters

Stair nosings protect the front edge of each step, add slip resistance where people are most likely to fall, and give a contrasting edge so the steps are clearly visible. That matters for everyone, and especially for people with visual impairments.

We supply and fit commercial nosings, including Quantum, to new stair flooring in vinyl, safety flooring, LVT or carpet. We also replace worn or damaged nosings on existing stairs.

We often fit nosings as part of a wider job, such as a full dental practice fit-out or school refurbishment. We are also happy to quote for stairs on their own.

FAQs

Stair nosings FAQs

Do commercial stairs need nosings?

Contrasting, slip-resistant step edges are recommended for public and commercial buildings, and they are one of the simplest ways to reduce falls on stairs.

Can you fit new nosings to existing stairs?

Yes. We can replace worn or damaged nosings without replacing all the stair flooring, depending on its condition.

What colour should nosings be?

They should contrast clearly with the stair covering so each step edge is easy to see. We will suggest options at the survey.

Do you work outside Leicester?

Yes. We are based in Ratby, Leicester, and fit stair nosings across the East Midlands and nationwide.
