A stair nosing is an essential feature for enhancing both the safety and durability of stairs, especially in high-traffic areas such as shopping centres, pubs, hotels, office buildings and many other locations. In this blog post, we’ll explore five excellent heavy-duty stair nosings, available at Premium Tile Trim.

Why Do You Need Heavy-Duty Stair Nosing?

Designed for the rigours of commercial use, commercial stair nosing is built to last and often includes additional safety features, such as:
