C4-N20 Non-Slip Carpet Stair Nosings

The C4-N20 Non-Slip Anodized Stair Nosings provide step edge color contrast, long-lasting anti-slip protection and beautiful appearance. The C4-N20 provide an affordable way to renovate and modernize carpeted stairways and improve stairway safety. This line of Ecoglo’s non-slip stair nosing is designed to reduce the risk of slips specifically for use on carpeted stairs. The metal nosing is installed flush with the carpet, to enhance safety. Using adhesive and mechanical fasteners during installation creates a permanent anti-slip solution.

Environmentally Friendly Non-Slip Carpet Stair Nosings

LEED points qualified
Recyclable; No disposable cost

Step Edge Safety

The color contrasting the non-slip material provides excellent step edge visibility.

Engineered for Durability

The hard-wearing silicon carbide non-slip material is integrally bonded to the aluminum substrate. Thousands of people can walk on it with no signs of wear and tear.
The thick anodized finish is aesthetically pleasing, prevents corrosion, and is extremely hard and abrasion resistant. The anodized aluminum surface is harder than pure aluminum, second only to diamonds hard crystalline structure.

For Indoor Use and Outdoor Use

The RC5-N30 Non-Slip Anodized Stair Nosings have been tested to accelerated UV/Weathering Exposure, Salt Spray Resistance, Freeze Thaw Resistance and Washability. Ecoglo® products easily passed with excellent results.
