Bullnose Aluminium Stair Nosing 69 x 40mm with Tredsafe Non-Slip PVC Insert

Bullnose Aluminium Stair Nosing with Non-Slip PVC Insert – 69 x 40mm

For staircases where a softer, curved edge profile is preferred, this 69 x 40mm bullnose aluminium stair nosing delivers both style and safety. The bullnose front edge gives the profile a smooth, rounded appearance that suits modern residential and commercial interiors, while the ramped tread channels foot traffic away from the edge and reduces trip hazard at the step.

Fitted with a Tredsafe non-slip PVC insert, this profile maintains reliable grip in both wet and dry conditions — making it suitable for indoor and outdoor staircases alike. The aluminium body is durable and built for long-term use in public, commercial and residential applications.

Built for Demanding Environments — Indoors and Out

The Tredsafe insert is rated for outdoor use, giving this nosing an edge over indoor-only alternatives. Whether fitted to an entrance staircase exposed to rain and foot traffic, or an internal stairwell in a busy building, the combination of bullnose shape and slip-resistant insert keeps the step edge protected and safe to use.

Ideal Applications

• Schools and educational buildings
• Office entrances and internal stairwells
• Healthcare facilities and care homes
• Retail environments
• Residential and apartment block stairs
• External staircases and entrance steps

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 Bullnose Profile?

A bullnose edge softens the visual line of a staircase compared to a sharp straight-edge profile, giving steps a more rounded, contemporary appearance. Combined with the all-weather Tredsafe insert, this makes the profile a strong choice for entranceways and exposed steps where both aesthetics and year-round slip resistance matter.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a bullnose stair nosing?

A bullnose stair nosing has a rounded front edge, designed to fit over rounded or bullnose-shaped stair treads. This profile type is commonly used in older properties, timber staircases and refurbishment projects where the stair tread has a curved leading edge.

Is a bullnose nosing suitable for new-build staircases?

Bullnose profiles are most commonly used for refurbishment of existing rounded-edge staircases. For new-build or flat-tread staircases, a straight-edge or rakeback profile is typically more appropriate.

What floor types is this compatible with?

Compatible with vinyl, LVT, linoleum and medium weight carpet. The bullnose profile wraps over the curved tread edge and is fixed from the tread face.

Does the rounded edge create a trip hazard?

No — when correctly installed and flush with the floor surface, a bullnose stair nosing does not create a trip hazard. The anti-slip PVC insert provides grip at the tread edge, and the rounded profile is smooth to the touch.

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.
