What Is Stair Nosing and Why Is It Used?
Stair nosing is a strip of material attached to the lip of every step edge, the outer corner that gets the most foot traffic. This material is most commonly wood or metal but can be made of materials like rubber and PVC, too.
Stair nosing is such an important addition to your staircase because of its following benefits:
- Enhanced safety: Stair nosing is fantastic for adding increased grip, guarding against tripping hazards and decreasing slips and trips.
- Improved longevity: The step edge gets constant use, and can get worn down if not protected. Stair nosing helps to prevent this, increasing the overall longevity of your staircase and reducing maintenance needs.
- Elevated aesthetic: Stair nosing simply looks good. When it comes to interior design, it’s the small things that make all the difference. A well-chosen stair nose, like a sleek and stylish chrome stair nose, provides a beautiful finishing touch that shows off your design know-how.
- Easy to install: On top of all of this, stair nosing has a simple installation process. This means you get the above benefits without having to undergo disruptive or time-consuming DIY work.

What Types of Stair Nosing Are There?
There are 4 main types of stair nosing:
- No overhang: Here, the nosing is flush with the riser so that the stair appears as one, smooth construction. This is a sleek look and you’ll commonly see chrome stair nosing in this shape.
- Square edge: This nosing visibly juts out of the step, creating an appealing visual definition. It’s common for hardwood stairs.
- Half round: This type of nosing is often called “bull nose” and its shape resembles a half-moon.
- Fully curved: Fully curved nosing is moulded to rounded steps and is particularly used for landing steps.
