- Premium-Grade Extruded Aluminium Body: The IDP-0102G is fabricated from high-grade extruded aluminium with an 18 × 41 mm profile, offering exceptional structural rigidity that resists bending, warping, and corrosion even under sustained heavy foot traffic — delivering a lifespan that outlasts standard PVC or mild steel alternatives.
- Integrated Black Rubber Anti-Slip Strip: A purpose-engineered, textured black rubber insert is embedded directly into the aluminium channel, providing consistent grip and traction directly on the step edge — the most vulnerable zone for slips, trips, and falls — in both wet and dry conditions.
- Polished Gold Aluminium Frame: The Polish Gold anodised finish adds a premium decorative border that complements marble, wood, porcelain tile, and granite step surfaces, elevating staircase aesthetics without compromising functional performance.
- High-Visibility Step Edge Definition: The contrasting gold frame and black rubber insert create a visually distinct step border that enhances depth perception and edge awareness, significantly reducing the risk of missteps in residential lobbies, commercial corridors, and dimly lit stairwells.
- Pre-Punched Fixing Slots for Rapid Installation: Evenly spaced mounting slots along the full 2,500 mm length allow for quick, precise alignment and secure fastening using floor screws or heavy-duty construction adhesive — minimising installation time while ensuring a flush, professional finish.
- Lightweight Yet Robust at 0.262 kg: Despite its heavy-duty aluminium construction, the profile weighs only 0.262 kg per 2.5 m length, making handling, cutting, and installation straightforward for both professional fitters and experienced DIY installers.
Each order includes one IDP-0102G Stair Nosing Profile piece in the Polish Gold finish with black rubber insert, supplied at a full 2,500 mm length ready for on-site cutting to your required step width.
General Purchase & Comparison Queries
What makes the IDP-0102G different from standard stair nosing profiles?
The IDP-0102G combines a heavy-duty extruded aluminium body with an integrated textured black rubber anti-slip insert and a refined Polish Gold decorative finish — a combination rarely found in standard off-the-shelf nosings. Most entry-level profiles use PVC or thinner aluminium extrusions that flex under load, whereas the IDP-0102G is engineered for long-term performance in both residential and demanding commercial environments.
Is the Polish Gold finish suitable for both indoor and outdoor staircases?
The Polish Gold aluminium frame is best suited for indoor staircases including lobbies, hallways, offices, and residential stairs. While aluminium is inherently corrosion-resistant, prolonged direct outdoor exposure to standing water or harsh UV conditions may affect the polished finish over time. For covered outdoor areas such as entrance porticos or shaded terraces, the profile performs well.
How many pieces do I need for a full staircase?
Each IDP-0102G piece is supplied at a full 2,500 mm (2.5 m) length, which is sufficient to cover most standard stair widths in a single cut. To calculate your order quantity, measure the width of each step tread and divide the total into 2.5 m lengths, adding one extra piece for cutting wastage. For a standard 12-step residential staircase with 900 mm-wide treads, five to six pieces would typically be sufficient.
Product-Specific and Usage Queries
What are the exact dimensions of the IDP-0102G profile?
The IDP-0102G has a cross-sectional profile of 18 mm (height) × 41 mm (width) and is supplied at a standard length of 2,500 mm (2.5 m). The net weight per piece is 0.262 kg. These compact dimensions allow the profile to sit flush at the step edge without creating a trip hazard, while the 41 mm width provides adequate coverage over the step nose and tread surface.
Can the IDP-0102G be cut to a custom length on site?
Yes. The extruded aluminium construction of the IDP-0102G can be cleanly cut to your required step width using a standard mitre saw with a fine-tooth metal-cutting blade or an angle grinder. The pre-punched fixing slots are evenly distributed along the full 2.5 m length, so even after trimming, you will have adequate mounting points for a secure, flush installation on any standard stair width.
How is the IDP-0102G installed — screws or adhesive?
The IDP-0102G features pre-punched fixing slots designed to accommodate both countersunk floor screws for a mechanically anchored installation and heavy-duty construction adhesive for a screw-free finish. For high-traffic commercial applications, a combined method — adhesive bed with screw anchoring — is recommended to maximise long-term holding strength and prevent any movement or edge lift.
Problem/Solution-Oriented Queries
My stair edges are chipping — will this nosing cover and protect existing damage?
Yes. The IDP-0102G is specifically designed to cover and cap damaged step edges, including chipped tile corners, worn concrete noses, and crumbling stone treads. The 41 mm wide profile spans across the step nose and down onto the riser, concealing existing wear and reinforcing the edge structurally. For heavily damaged edges, applying a thin levelling compound before installation ensures a flush, stable base for the nosing.
Will the black rubber insert stay in place under heavy daily use?
The black rubber anti-slip insert in the IDP-0102G is integrated into the aluminium channel rather than surface-bonded, meaning it is mechanically retained within the extrusion. This design prevents the insert from peeling, shifting, or detaching under daily foot traffic. The rubber is selected for durability and resistance to compression set, maintaining its grip properties and surface texture over extended use in both residential and commercial environments.
The profile is longer than my stair width — how do I get a clean cut?
To achieve a clean, professional cut on the IDP-0102G, use a mitre saw fitted with a 80-tooth TCT (Tungsten Carbide Tipped) metal-cutting blade set at a slow feed rate, or an angle grinder with an aluminium-rated cutting disc. Score a straight cutting line with a marker and clamp the profile securely before cutting. After cutting, deburr the cut edge with a fine metal file to remove any sharp burrs before installing. The rubber insert can be trimmed with a sharp utility knife to match.
