Single-Piece Stair Nosings

Economical and easy to install, Balco's single component non-slip stair  nosings are ideal for any indoor or outdoor application where stair tread protection and added safety are desired or required by code. Balco stair tread inserts are slip-resistant, durable, and retain their attractive appearance even in high-traffic stairways.

Two-Piece Stair Nosings

Balco also offers a variety of two component non-slip stair nosing systems, in which sub-channels are installed during construction and safety nosings are installed after construction. This prevents damage to, and costly cleanup of, the safety treads and allows for stair nosing replacement if ever necessary. Two options are available: the screw-secured system, designed for safety, durability and long-term value; and the drive-fit system, when concealed fasteners are preferred.

Glow-in-the-Dark Photoluminescent Stair Nosings 

For use in emergency exit stairways or where extra visibility is indicated, our non-slip photoluminescent IllumiTread™ stair  nosings are perfect for interior or exterior installation. They provide 30-times the illumination of conventional glow-in-the-dark stair tread edging and are manufactured to exceed New York City RS 6-1 and RS 6-1A Brightness Rating Requirements. Balco IllumiTread stair nosings are easy to clean, non-flammable, non-toxic, non-radioactive, and built strong enough for permanent installation in the heaviest traffic areas. Visit our blog on Emergency Exit Information to find out more about the safety benefits of non-slip photoluminescent stair nosings and other emergency pathway markings.
