Commercial Stair Nosing.
Melbourne & Australia.

Stair nosing is the protective, high-visibility edging fitted to the leading edge of each step. On a commercial stair it does three jobs at once: it warns vision-impaired users where the edge is, it provides slip resistance underfoot, and it protects the step structure from wear.

For a stair to pass an accessibility audit, the nosing must deliver a minimum 30% luminance contrast across a strip 50–75mm wide on both the tread and the riser under AS 1428.1, and a slip-resistance classification that suits the application under AS 4586. Get either wrong and the stair fails — which is why Korb supplies the slip and LRV test data with every range.

Korb's stair nosing spans four ranges — Aalto aluminium and brass, the Venturi carpet and flooring systems, the corrugated and striped Tadao profiles, and the carbon-fibre Carbtech — in surface-mounted, recessed and downturn formats to suit new builds and retrofits alike.

Every profile is available supply-only or as a full supply-and-install package, with one point of accountability from specification through to handover.
