The edge of the step,gripped and visible.
A tough, non-slip strip along the edge of every step, in a colour you can see clearly. Cut to fit your stairs, inside or out.
The stepyou can’t see.
Coming down the stairs is when most stair falls happen. Often it is because the edge of a step wasn’t where you thought it was.
As we age, it gets harder to see where one step ends and the next begins. It is hardest when the steps are all one colour, or the light is dim.
A stair nosing is a strip fitted along the front edge of each step. It gives your foot grip, and draws a bright line so you can see every edge clearly.
Whatwe fit.
Stair nosings
Wrap over the front edge of each step, so they grip the top and protect the edge from wear.
Flat strips
Lie flat on ramps, landings, and paths, with the same grip and bright colour.
Cut to fit your stairs
Cut to the full width of each step, so there is no gap at the end where your foot might land.

Doneproperly.
We follow the Australian Standard for access (AS 1428.1), which sets out what makes stair edges safe.
Easy to see
The strip must be much lighter or darker than the step, not just a different colour. We choose it against your stairs.
On every step
If only some steps are marked, your eyes start to trust the pattern and miss the rest. So every step gets one.
Flush and flat
The strip grips your foot without sticking up enough to trip on.
How itworks.
A clear, fixed quote
Priced per staircase, from a site visit or your occupational therapist’s report.
One visit to fit
We measure each step, cut the strips to fit, and fix them down. You can use the stairs the same day.
Backed by warranty
All work is done by licensed tradespeople and backed by the relevant warranties.
Other ways tomake stairs safer.
A handrail comes first
A bright edge helps you see the step. A rail catches you if you still miss it.
New steps
If your steps are too small for your whole foot, or uneven, new steps are the safe answer.
