Why is stair nosing so important? The reasons include:
1. Function of dividing the sight line: The front edge of the stair tread is equipped with an anti-slip strip to indicate and distinguish the position of each step, making it easier to identify the distance between the steps. Especially in some dimly lit environments, stair treads with anti-slip properties and obvious color markings are particularly important.
2. Protect the front edge of the steps and extend the service life of the stairs: It can wrap the front edge of the stair steps to avoid damage to the stairs caused by frequent stepping.
3. Reduce the risk of falling: The protruding part of the stair tread is usually designed to slightly extend beyond the step position to increase the surface area of the step. In addition, the surface adopts a non-slip texture to further increase friction and reduce the possibility of people falling when going up and down the stairs.
4. Enhance visual appeal: High-quality stair nosing can add sophistication to a staircase, enhance its visual appeal, and provide visual interest.

L-shaped right-angle stair nose: The appearance presents a more obvious 90° right angle, similar to the "L"-shaped structure, which can well cover the edges and vertical surfaces of the stair treads.
