This profile is very strong with stabilizer feet under the nosing. The rebate at the back will accommodate up to 8 – 10 mm floor coverings. Tilers have found it suitable to rebate and cut the tiles in the back and face of the nosing.

End caps are very important if you are installing stair nosing, and you are leaving a gap on each side. The left and right end caps are installed at the end by just clicking in to place. Easy installation and it just finishes off the stair nosing.

What is carborundum? Silicon carbide, also known as carborundum, is a hard chemical compound containing silicon and carbon.
It is used as an abrasive for cutting, grinding, and polishing, as an anti slip additive for stair nosing
Santoprene rubber inserts
Our Santoprene inserts are rubber not PVC. The difference is that Santoprene® possesses the same levels of flexibility and durability that are commonly found with natural rubber compounds. Because of its longer life in both extreme hot and cold environments, it is often preferred over PVC.
Ripple trim/sawtooth insert
The ripple trim inserts offer a stylish, and elegant alternative to carborundum and rubber insert; whilst still maintaining a P4 slip rating.
They are 2.4 mm thick anodised aluminum. The inserts are often used as a strip; this is an affordable solution for stairs.
