Aluminium vs Rubber Stair Nosing: Which Offers Superior Durability?

Stair Nosing   If you're working with carpeted stairs, you already know the challenge. Carpet adds comfort and warmth, but it also introduces slip risks, fraying edges, and complicated stair nosing choices. Whether you’re a contractor fitting out rental properties, a facilities manager overseeing office upgrades, or a DIYer improving your home, choosing the right stair nosing is crucial.

Anodised Aluminium Stair Nosing: Where Strength Meets Corrosion Resistance

ANODISED Aluminium Non-Slip Stair Edge Nosing Trim

Architects, contractors, and building managers are turning to anodised aluminium stair nosing for one clear reason — it works. At Mafson, we help professionals choose stair nosing that delivers on durability, safety, and sleek design without slowing your project down.

Why Contractors Choose Anodised Aluminium Nosing

✅ Built to Last

Aluminium nosing is engineered for strength. Once anodised, the surface becomes highly resistant to corrosion, abrasion, and wear. Whether it’s a school corridor or commercial stairwell, this nosing doesn’t just hold up — it keeps looking sharp, too.

✅ Safety Where It Matters Most

Every stair edge should offer grip. Mafson’s anodised nosings feature anti-slip ridges or insert channels, ideal for wet, busy, or high-footfall environments. It’s a simple upgrade that prevents costly accidents.

✅ Easy to Fit, Hard to Fault

Most models come pre-drilled and compatible with adhesive for flexible installation. Choose from 0.9m or 1.8m lengths to reduce waste and cut-down time on site.

✅ A Finish That Works with Any Design

Anodised finishes — available in Silver, Gold, and Champagne — blend beautifully with tile, vinyl, wood, or carpet. The result? Sleek edges that meet both aesthetic and safety requirements.
