This aluminium bullnose stair nosing combines an 85x40mm profile with a double insert design to provide a practical edge treatment for suitable stair applications.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe bullnose shape creates a rounded transition over the front of the tread rather than leaving a sharp exposed corner. This gives the staircase a more finished appearance while providing a substantial profile around the leading edge.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt 1m long, each section can be measured against individual stair widths before installation. The supplied dimensions should be checked carefully against the existing tread because stair sizes can vary between properties and, in some cases, between individual steps.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe aluminium construction provides a rigid structure, while the product's non-slip specification makes it relevant to stairs where underfoot traction is an important consideration.

This makes it important to check the available tread area before ordering, particularly where the existing stair covering has already been installed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe bullnose edge creates a curved front section that follows the leading edge of the stair.
