ASL20 57x55mm DDA-Compliant Aluminium Non-Slip Stair Nosing

Tredsafe Rakeback Stair Edge Trim with PVC & Photoluminescent Insert

Improve stair-edge grip, visibility and protection with the ASL20 57 x 55mm Tredsafe Stair Nosing. Designed as a heavy-duty rakeback profile, it combines a robust aluminium body with a high-grip PVC insert for demanding domestic and commercial stair installations.

Part of the Tredsafe Aluminator® range, the profile incorporates a photoluminescent element that charges from natural or artificial light and glows in darkness. This helps define the stair edge during low-light conditions or power failure without requiring wiring, batteries or an electrical supply.

The ASL20 is designed for both internal and external applications and can be fitted to compatible concrete, timber, tile, vinyl, steel and checker plate stairs.
