Manufactured to exacting British standards, this premium stair edging is the professional choice for discerning property owners, architects, and contractors across the United Kingdom.

Each 2.5-metre length arrives pre-drilled and ready for straightforward installation, saving you valuable time whilst ensuring a flawless, professional finish. The mirror-polished surface reflects light beautifully, enhancing visibility on every step whilst the precision-engineered anti-slip grooves provide critical traction exactly where it's needed most.

Key Benefits of Premium Brass Stair Nosing

1. Uncompromising Safety Protection

Our heavy-duty brass stair nosing features precision-milled anti-slip grooves that dramatically reduce the risk of slips and falls on staircases. The raised profile creates a clear visual edge definition, particularly beneficial for elderly residents and those with visual impairments navigating stairs throughout UK properties.

2. Exceptional Durability & Longevity

Solid brass construction means this stair nosing will outlast aluminium, plastic, and composite alternatives by decades. Brass naturally resists corrosion, tarnishing, and wear from constant foot traffic, making it the premium choice for high-traffic commercial environments and busy family homes alike.

3. Stunning Mirror Finish Aesthetic

The polished mirror finish delivers a sophisticated, luxurious appearance that complements both traditional and contemporary UK interiors. This premium brass stair edging adds genuine value to your property whilst protecting your staircase investment for generations.

4. Professional-Grade Construction

Manufactured from 100% solid brass with precise 45×23mm dimensions, this stair nosing meets rigorous commercial specifications. The substantial profile provides robust edge protection whilst the premium materials ensure consistent performance in demanding environments across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

5. Quick & Easy Installation

Pre-drilled countersunk holes along the entire 2.5m length enable fast, professional installation with standard woodscrews or masonry fixings. No specialist tools required – simply measure, cut to length if needed, and secure for an immediate transformation.

6. Versatile Application Range

Perfect for wooden stairs, concrete steps, stone staircases, and tiled surfaces throughout residential homes, commercial offices, retail spaces, hotels, schools, and public buildings. This professional brass stair nosing adapts seamlessly to virtually any UK property type.

7. Low Maintenance Requirements

Unlike painted or coated alternatives, solid brass requires minimal maintenance. A simple wipe with a soft cloth maintains the mirror finish, whilst the material's natural properties mean it won't chip, peel, or degrade over time.

8. Excellent Value Investment

Whilst premium brass stair nosing represents a higher initial investment than cheaper alternatives, the exceptional longevity, zero replacement costs, and property value enhancement deliver outstanding long-term value for UK property owners.

9. Enhanced Stair Edge Protection

The robust brass profile shields vulnerable stair edges from chipping, cracking, and wear damage caused by constant foot traffic, furniture moves, and everyday use. This protective barrier extends the lifespan of your entire staircase significantly.

10. Compliance & Safety Standards

Our professional-grade brass stair nosing helps properties meet UK building regulations for staircase safety, making it essential for commercial premises, rental properties, and new construction projects throughout the United Kingdom.

Professional Installation Guide

Tools & Materials Required:

• Tape measure and pencil
• Hacksaw or angle grinder (for cutting to length)
• Electric drill with appropriate bits
• Countersink bit (if additional holes needed)
• Woodscrews or masonry fixings (depending on substrate)
• Spirit level
• Safety glasses and work gloves

Step-by-Step Installation Process:

Step 1: Measure & Plan
Carefully measure each stair tread width. The 2.5m length can be cut to fit multiple steps or used for longer commercial installations. Mark cutting points clearly.

Step 2: Cut to Length
Using a hacksaw or angle grinder with metal cutting disc, cut the brass nosing to your required lengths. File any sharp edges smooth for a professional finish.

Step 3: Position & Mark
Place the brass stair nosing flush with the front edge of the step, ensuring the anti-slip grooves face upward. Use a spirit level to confirm perfect alignment, then mark through the pre-drilled holes.

Step 4: Drill Pilot Holes
For wooden stairs, drill pilot holes slightly smaller than your screw diameter. For concrete or stone, use a masonry bit and insert appropriate wall plugs.

Step 5: Secure Firmly
Starting from one end, insert screws through the countersunk holes and tighten progressively along the length. Ensure the nosing sits completely flat against the step edge.

Step 6: Final Inspection
Check all screws are flush with the brass surface. Wipe clean with a soft cloth to remove any installation marks and reveal the stunning mirror finish.

Maintenance & Care Instructions

Regular Cleaning: Simply wipe the brass stair nosing with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and footprints. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and dry thoroughly.

Maintaining the Mirror Finish: The polished brass will develop a natural patina over time, which many property owners appreciate. To maintain the original mirror shine, occasionally polish with a quality brass cleaner and soft cloth.

Avoiding Damage: Whilst solid brass is exceptionally durable, avoid using abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals that could scratch the polished surface.

Long-Term Care: Inspect fixings annually in high-traffic commercial environments. Tighten any screws that may have loosened due to constant use. The brass itself requires no special treatment and will continue performing for decades.

Restoration: Should the finish become dull over many years, professional brass polishing can restore the original mirror shine, making this a truly lifetime investment for UK properties.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the exact size of this brass stair nosing?

A: The profile measures 45mm width × 23mm height, with a total length of 2.5 metres (2500mm). This professional-grade dimension provides substantial edge protection whilst fitting standard UK stair treads perfectly.

Q: Can I cut this brass nosing to fit my specific stair width?

A: Absolutely. The 2.5m length is designed to be cut to your exact requirements using a standard hacksaw or angle grinder with metal cutting disc. This allows you to fit multiple steps from a single length or create custom sizes for unique installations across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

Q: Is this suitable for outdoor steps and external staircases?

A: Yes, solid brass offers excellent corrosion resistance making it suitable for covered outdoor applications. However, for fully exposed exterior steps subject to constant weathering, we recommend our dedicated external-grade stair nosing products specifically engineered for harsh UK weather conditions.

Q: How does brass stair nosing compare to aluminium for durability?

A: Solid brass significantly outlasts aluminium alternatives. Whilst aluminium may corrode or have its anodised finish wear away within 10-15 years, solid brass maintains its integrity and appearance for 50+ years. The superior density and natural properties of brass make it the premium choice for long-term installations.

Q: Will the brass tarnish or change colour over time?

A: Brass naturally develops a subtle patina over time, which many property owners find adds character and warmth. If you prefer to maintain the original mirror finish, occasional polishing with brass cleaner will restore the brilliant shine. Unlike coated products, solid brass can be refinished indefinitely.

Q: What fixings are included with the stair nosing?

A: The brass nosing arrives pre-drilled with countersunk holes ready for installation. Fixings are not included as the appropriate screws depend on your specific substrate (wood, concrete, stone, or tile). We recommend quality woodscrews for timber stairs or masonry fixings with wall plugs for concrete and stone applications.

Q: Is this brass stair nosing suitable for commercial properties?

A: Absolutely. This professional-grade solid brass nosing is engineered specifically for demanding commercial environments including offices, retail spaces, hotels, and public buildings throughout the UK. The heavy-duty construction and superior anti-slip properties make it ideal for high-traffic applications where safety and longevity are essential.
