Aluminium Rakeback Stair Nosing with Anti-Slip PVC Insert – 66 x 32mm
Engineered for staircases with an angled riser, this 66 x 32mm aluminium rakeback stair nosing combines a slimline profile with practical anti-slip performance. The rakeback riser sits flush against angled stair constructions commonly found in modern builds and refurbishments, while the ramped tread surface channels foot traffic safely across the step edge.
A single anti-slip PVC insert provides effective grip in both wet and dry environments, helping reduce slip hazards on busy indoor staircases. The slimline, low-profile design gives the finished step a clean, architectural look that suits both commercial and residential settings.
Built for Medium-Duty Commercial and Residential Use
Manufactured from high-quality aluminium, this profile is suitable for schools, apartment blocks, offices and similar public areas where a balance of safety, durability and a tidy finish is required. It works well across a range of resilient floor finishes, supporting both new-build installations and refurbishment projects.
Compatible Floor Finishes
- Vinyl and LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile)
- Laminate flooring
- Other resilient floor finishes
Installation
The profile is supplied pre-drilled through the insert with colour-matched pips to keep fixings concealed. For projects requiring a clean, unfixed channel, undrilled and channel-only configurations with separately supplied inserts are available on request. Fixings are not included.

Why Choose a Rakeback Profile?
Many commercial and newer residential staircases are built with an angled riser rather than a vertical one. A standard straight-back nosing can leave a visible gap or sit unevenly on these stairs. The rakeback design is shaped to match this angle precisely, giving a snug, secure fit without packing or adjustment — making it the correct choice for angled stair constructions.
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.
