Many slips and falls can be attributed to missteps or slipping on the edge of the stairs. Handi-Treads aluminum stair nosing's are a unique slip and fall prevention solution that wraps around the edge of stairs to add both traction and structural integrity to the step. The nosing's feature Handi-Ramp's patented raised button traction surface that we've been using to make our ramps non-slip for decades. The buttons are uniquely self-cleaning in that they dispel up-to an inch of water, snow, ice or debris with each step. This exclusive design creates traction in every direction to ensure a safe and dependable stairway. Besides creating unbeatable traction, Handi-Treads nosing's also improve the structural integrity of the steps by stabilizing the stair treads. The nosing's are especially ideal for bowing wood steps or steps that tend to chip on the edges like concrete and brick steps. By wrapping around the stair edge, Handi-Treads nosing's stabilize the step while also covering slip and fall hazards. Constructed of hard-wearing aluminum, Handi-Treads nosing's will not rust and will hold up in virtually any weather or environmental condition. Their one-and-done installation makes them your permanent slip and fall prevention solution, backed by a lifetime residential warranty. To install, simply use a power drill and the included color matched screws for natural and composite wood. If installing on concrete, brick or stone, be sure to use concrete anchors.
