FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A cast-in-place aluminum stair nosing is a durable profile designed to be embedded directly into freshly poured concrete stair treads. Ideal for pan-filled, precast, or cast-in-place stairs, this nosing adds slip resistance, visibility, and long-term wear protection to commercial stairways.

Our stair nosings include a removable protective construction cover designed to shield the nosing surface during stair fabrication, concrete pours, and construction traffic. This cover helps prevent damage to the visible strip and aluminum finish, ensuring the nosing looks clean and professional upon project completion. Once construction is finished, the cover peels off easily, revealing a like-new surface ready for occupancy.

Aluminum stair nosings are corrosion-resistant, lightweight, and designed to last the life of the structure. Unlike plastic or rubber alternatives, extruded aluminum profiles won’t warp, crack, or degrade–making them ideal for high-traffic commercial environments.

Yes, our cast-in-place stair nosings are manufactured to meet or exceed the International Building Code (IBC) and ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) guidelines for stair safety. We offer options with contrasting visual strips and slip-resistant surfaces to help meet these requirements.

Absolutely. Our embedded 3-inch aluminum stair nosings are compatible with precast stair treads. Our low profile includes a cast-in anchor into wet concrete.

We offer a variety of finish options including abrasive grit strips, photoluminescent glow-in-the-dark strips, mill or anodized aluminum finishes or powder coated paint. These options provide enhanced visibility, code compliance, and customizable safety solutions.
