A steel stair nosing is used throughout many industries to provide sure footed safety and coverage.  Industries demand quality products that are going to last and reduce chance of injury.  A prime decision would be SlipNOT® Metal Safety Flooring’s steel stair nosings, which have a file hard surface and a coefficient of friction greater than or equal to 0.85.  They are available in three grades of slip resistance varying from fine to coarse, and may be custom fitted to your specifications.   SlipNOT® stair nosings come in steel, aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel and can be retrofitted to wood, concrete or metal.  Depending on what industry or application used, determines what surface or finish you may need. 

One benefit of installing steel stair nosings within your company is that it helps partially sighted people with changes in level.  By clearly making each step with a contrasting steel stair nosing, will bring certainty of where the edge of each stair is. 

Slip resistant steel stair nosings not only serve as safety features, but are also used for aesthetic purposes.  Steel stair nosings have the capability of enhancing industrial settings by making the edge of the stairs look clean and crisp.  If you prefer a look that stands out more, you may go for aluminum, stainless steel or galvanized steel.  A galvanized finish will still give you an aesthetic look because of its silvery-zinc color, but will also withstand harsh wet conditions.  Whichever surface you choose, depending on what setting it’s in, will ultimately provide a finishing touch to your stairway.
