Slimline Aluminium Rakeback Stair Nosing with Non-Slip PVC Insert – 57 x 32mm
A practical, mid-sized rakeback stair nosing designed to deliver reliable slip resistance and a smart edge finish on angled staircases. This 57 x 32mm aluminium rakeback profile features an approximately 83° riser angle, making it a precise fit for concrete and precast staircases — the stair construction type most commonly found in commercial, public and multi-residential buildings.
The non-slip PVC insert provides consistent grip underfoot in both dry and damp conditions. Available in 13 colour options, the insert can be selected to provide strong visual contrast at the step edge, supporting accessibility requirements in environments where clear step definition is important.
Compact Profile, Professional Finish
At 57mm across the tread, this profile sits in the mid-range between slimline and wide-tread options — wide enough to provide meaningful grip coverage, compact enough to integrate neatly with most stair finishes without visually dominating the step. The rakeback riser ensures a flush, gap-free fit against the angled riser face.
Compatible Floor Finishes
- LVT and luxury vinyl tile
- Vinyl sheet flooring
- Laminate staircases
- Solid wood and engineered hardwood
Installation
The profile comes pre-drilled through the insert with colour-matched pips to keep screw heads out of sight. For clean-channel projects, undrilled and channel-only versions with separately supplied inserts are available on request. Fixings are not included. An optional Tredsafe® insert is also available for projects requiring an external-grade, higher-traction surface.

Why Choose a Rakeback Profile for Concrete Stairs?
Concrete and precast staircases typically have risers built at a slight angle — usually around 83° — rather than a true vertical. Fitting a standard straight-back nosing to these stairs can leave a visible gap at the riser face, or cause the profile to sit unevenly. The rakeback design is specifically shaped to match this angle, ensuring a snug, flush fit that looks clean and performs reliably for years without shifting or lifting.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a rakeback stair nosing?
A rakeback profile has an angled front face that follows the natural rake (angle) of a stair riser, rather than being perfectly vertical. This allows the nosing to sit flush against the step riser for a cleaner finish — particularly useful on carpet staircases or where the riser has a slight angle.
What floor types suit a rakeback profile?
Rakeback profiles work particularly well on carpet, vinyl and LVT staircases. The angled riser face allows the nosing to conform to the step shape without leaving a visible gap between the nosing and the riser.
Is this profile suitable for commercial use?
Yes. The 3mm anodised aluminium construction is built for heavy commercial footfall. The PVC anti-slip insert provides reliable grip and the profile can be specified in contrasting insert colours to meet accessibility requirements in public buildings.
How is a rakeback stair nosing installed?
Position the nosing at the front edge of the step so the tread face sits flush with your floor surface and the angled riser face rests against the step riser. Mark and drill fixing points through the pre-drilled holes, secure with screws, then press the colour-matched pips into the holes to conceal fixings.
Are fixings included?
No — fixings are not included. Standard stainless steel screws are suitable for most applications. The profile comes pre-drilled with colour-matched pips to conceal fixings for a clean finish.
Can this stair nosing be cut to size?
Yes. The aluminium profile can be cut to your required length using a standard mitre saw or angle grinder with a metal cutting disc. Measure carefully and make a clean, straight cut for the best result.
What colours are available?
The PVC insert is available in 13 colours: White, Black, Brown, Beige, Canvas, Red, Dolphin Grey, Ice Grey, Midnight Grey, Yellow, Cobalt Blue, Saffron and Tangerine — allowing you to meet LRV contrast requirements or match your interior.
