The following article explores the main uses, applications and styles of stair treads, including surface treatments such as textured patterns, silicon carbide strips, rubber inserts and fluorescent features.
Main uses of aluminum stair nosings:
1. Enhance the safety of stairs:
The main purpose of aluminum stair treads is to reduce slip accidents. Stair treads have a special anti-slip surface treatment to provide extra grip, especially in areas with high traffic or prone to moisture.

Because stairs are often stepped on, the edges of stairs are prone to wear and tear. Aluminum treads act as a durable protective layer to prevent stair materials such as concrete, wood or tile from chipping, cracking and corrosion.
3. Improve visibility:
To serve as a warning, many stair treads use contrasting colors or fluorescent strips to highlight the edge of the step in low-light environments, ensuring safer passage.
