External Nosings

One of the big benefits of stair nosing outdoor solutions is they are waterproof. The nosing will stay in great condition whatever the weather. And the non slip strip means every step you take on your stairs is safe, reducing the risk of accidents.

Outdoor stair nosings not only improve safety but add a bit of style to your steps. These protect your steps and are low maintenance so you can have peace of mind and enhance your outdoor space.

Key Features of Stair Nosing for Outdoor Use

When it comes to step nosings external there are several key features to look for. Here we break down the essentials to look for when choosing an outdoor stair nosing:

• Durability: Stair nosings for outdoor use are made from heavy duty materials like aluminium and rubber. These will withstand weather and heavy foot traffic.
• Non-Slip Surface: Safety first. Look for a super non slip surface with triangular sawtooth grooves design. This will give excellent traction even in wet conditions.
• Waterproof: A good exterior stair nosing should be waterproof. This is important to prevent water damage and for the nosing to remain effective over time.
• Seamless Transition: A seamless transition between different types of flooring is key for both look and safety. High quality step nosing will have a smooth edge to reduce tripping hazard.
• Multi Purpose: Stair nosing can be used in commercial and residential properties. Whether it’s for outdoor stairs or exterior steps a multi purpose nosing will meet different needs.

How to Choose the Right Stair Nosing for Outdoor Use

Choosing the right stair nosing for your exterior steps is important for safety and durability. Here are a few things to consider:

Material and Durability

When choosing stair nosing for exterior use the material is key. Products like Anti Slip Stair Nosing - Aluminium 60 x 55mm NHD24 are a good example. Made from durable aluminium they are designed to withstand harsh environments. An external grade Tredsafe Insert will give slip resistance even in wet conditions.

Compliance with Regulations

You need to choose products that meet legal standards and safety regulations. For example the Anti Slip Stair Nosing - Aluminium 72 x 55mm NHD22 meets DDA and building regulations and BS8300:2009+A1:2010 guidelines. So your outdoor stair nosing will be safe and accessible.

Anti Slip Features

Consider the Anti Slip Stair Nosing 57 x 32mm NSL02 Tredsafe which has a unique blend of PVC, silica quartz and polymeric plasticiser. This combination gives a robust anti slip surface for all weather conditions.

Versatility and Design

Your stair nosing should be versatile enough to fit different types of floor coverings like vinyl, linoleum and carpet. The Anti Slip Stair Nosing - Aluminium 70 x 40mm NHD07 is a versatile option that will fit different types of flooring and is suitable for commercial and industrial use. The 3D pyramid design will give extra slip resistance.

Installation

Easy installation is another important factor.
