This 36-inch black stair nosing is designed to provide a defined covering around that section while giving the staircase a cleaner and more consistent edge.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIts black finish can either blend with darker stair surfaces or create contrast against lighter flooring, depending on the existing interior.
