72 x 55mm Heavy Duty DDA Compliant Stair Nosing
This 72 x 55mm heavy duty aluminium stair nosing is engineered for demanding environments where stair safety, accessibility compliance and long-term durability are essential. The wide 72mm tread coverage and 55mm riser depth make it particularly well suited to commercial, public and industrial staircases where high footfall and rigorous safety standards apply.
The straight edge with ramped tread profile promotes smooth foot transitions across the step edge, reducing trip hazards and supporting compliance with DDA and BS8300:2009+A1:2010 accessibility regulations. The standard non-slip insert provides reliable grip underfoot and creates a strong visual contrast at the step edge, which is a key requirement in public access areas.
Suitable Environments
Designed for carpet, vinyl and other resilient flooring types, this nosing performs reliably in schools, hospitals, offices, transport buildings, retail spaces and industrial stairwells. The anodised aluminium construction resists corrosion and impact even under sustained heavy use.
Installation
Each nosing is supplied pre-drilled through the insert with colour-matched pips to conceal all fixings for a professional finish. Undrilled and channel-only configurations with separately supplied inserts are available on request. Fixings are not included.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this product DDA compliant?
Yes. This nosing meets DDA requirements and is certified to BS8300:2009+A1:2010. The non-slip insert provides the visual contrast at the step edge required in public access environments, and the ramped tread profile supports accessibility by reducing trip hazards.
Why choose 72mm tread width over a narrower profile?
The 72mm tread provides greater coverage of the stair tread leading edge, offering more protection against wear and impact in high-traffic areas. It is particularly well suited to deeper stair treads in commercial and public buildings.
Are fixings included?
No — fixings are not included with this product. The nosing is supplied pre-drilled through the insert with colour-matched concealment pips. Appropriate fixings will depend on your stair substrate (concrete, timber, etc.).
Can it be cut to a custom length?
Yes — cut the aluminium channel with a metal cutting saw or angle grinder. The rubber or PVC insert can be trimmed with a sharp knife or hacksaw. Multiple lengths are available from 1.0m to 3.22m to minimise wastage.
