Types and Features of Stair Tread Nosing
Types and Features of Stair Tread Nosing 1. Stair treads are the flat planes or surfaces that people step on when climbing up or down a set of stairs. They are commonly made using a variety of materials like steel, wood and plastic and covered with carpets and anti-slip rubber covers. 2. Nosing is that part of the stair treads that protrude beyond the riser. Nosing is commonly found not only on stair but also on landings and raised platforms. 3. Apart from providing additional comfort, steel stair treads and the type of nosing used in industries offer added features like -slip-resistance, -visibility, and -protection. 4. Nosing components are often made with materials like steel, concrete and vinyl. They are also available in several types, such as single part, two part, and cast nosing, which differ in their features and applications. 5. Based on their applications, special features and material, a few common types include, a. concrete stair nosing, b. glow in the dark and visibility nosing, c. safety stair treads, d. Heavy duty nosing, and e. Anti-slip coating and paint. 6.
