Ecoglo® F4160 Non-Slip Flat Stair Nosing with Gray Insert – 2.7" Wide

Model F4160 • F4-N20 Series Ecoglo® F4160 Aluminum Flat Stair Nosing – Gray Non-Slip Stair Protection Improve traction, define stair edges and protect high-traffic steps with a durable 2.7-inch-wide aluminum non-slip stair nosing. The Ecoglo® F4160 Non-Slip Flat Stair Nosing with Gray Insert combines a durable clear-anodized 6063-T5 aluminum profile with a hard-wearing gray silicon-carbide non-slip insert. The right-angled profile fits over the leading edge of an existing stair to provide dependable traction, visible step-edge definition and durable protection in high-traffic applications. Designed for commercial, institutional, industrial and public stairways, the F4160 can be installed on concrete, timber, tile, steel, checker plate and suitable thin carpeted stairs. Its neutral gray insert makes it a practical choice where slip resistance and a more understated architectural appearance are preferred. Product Configuration Model F4160 is part of the Ecoglo® F4-N20 non-photoluminescent flat stair-nosing series. It features a clear-anodized aluminum profile with a gray silicon-carbide non-slip insert. The gray surface provides traction and step-edge color contrast where it differs from the surrounding stair finish, but does not glow in darkness. For a black-anodized profile with a gray insert, select F4260. ✔ Model F4160 ✔ 2.7-Inch-Wide Profile ✔ Gray Non-Slip Insert ✔ Indoor & Outdoor Use Hard-Wearing Slip Resistance The silicon-carbide non-slip material is integrally bonded to the aluminum substrate to provide durable traction for heavily travelled stairs. Gray Step-Edge Contrast The gray non-slip insert helps create a defined leading edge where it contrasts with the surrounding stair surface while maintaining a neutral architectural appearance. Stair-Edge Protection The right-angled aluminum profile covers the leading edge and vertical face of the stair to help protect vulnerable stair edges from repeated foot traffic and wear. Indoor & Outdoor Durability The F4-N20 Series is performance tested for UV exposure, salt-spray resistance, freeze-thaw resistance, abrasion and washability for demanding stair applications. Ecoglo® F4160 Product Configuration The F4160 combines a clear-anodized F4-N20 aluminum stair-nosing profile with an integrally bonded gray silicon-carbide non-slip insert.
