F4-N20 Flat Stair Nosings

The F4-N20 Non-Slip Anodized Stair Nosings provide step edge color contrast, long-lasting anti-slip protection and beautiful appearance. The F4-N20 provide an affordable way to renovate and modernize stairways and improve stairway safety. They also can be used on a range of substrates including concrete, timber, tiles, steel, checker plate, and thin carpeted stairs.

Environmentally Friendly

LEED points qualified
Recyclable; No disposable cost

Step Edge Safety

The color contrasting the non-slip material provides 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

Tested to accelerated UV/weathering exposure, Salt Spray Resistance, Freeze-Thaw Resistance and Washability. Ecoglo products easily passed with excellent results.
