Stair nosing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nosing is the horizontal, protruding edge of a stair where most foot traffic frequently occurs.
The horizontal projection to the front of a tread where most foot traffic frequently occurs. The nosing is the protrusion beyond the riser when vertical risers are used, or beyond the back of the tread below, when angled risers or no risers are used. Anti-slip strips or nosings may be applied. These stair parts can be manufactured from a variety of materials including aluminum, vinyl, and wood.
Landing nosing
The landing nosing will often travel into the landing area to border the bottom of the balusters. The projection over the landing face will be the same as for the treads in the staircase.
Nosing projection
In timber flights, The nosing traditionally projects forward of the riser, the same distance as the thickness of the tread material.[1]
