VSN30 Square Stair Nose Molding

Surface: Wear resistant. Core Material: Rigid PVC.

The VSN30 square stair nose molding is a specialized type of molding designed for use on the front edges of staircases. Square nose stair molding is widely used in residential and commercial settings to enhance the safety, durability and aesthetics of staircases, making it an integral part of staircase construction and design. It serves several essential functions in stair construction and finishing:

  1. Safety: Stair nose molding provides a non-slip surface and adds a squared-off edge to the front of each step, reducing the risk of slips, trips and falls. This feature is especially crucial in high-traffic areas to enhance safety.
  2. Protection: It protects the vulnerable edges of stair treads from chipping, cracking and wear caused by foot traffic over time. The molding helps extend the lifespan of the stairs by safeguarding the exposed edges.
  3. Aesthetics: Stair nose molding offers a neat and finished appearance to the staircase. It complements the flooring material used on the stairs and provides a smooth transition between the vertical riser and the horizontal tread.

This profile features a squared edge that extends slightly beyond the edge of the stair tread, creating a flat-faced transition from the tread to the riser.

When installing stair nose molding, it is essential to choose the appropriate size and profile to fit the specific staircase dimensions. The molding is typically attached to the front edge of the stair tread using adhesive and/or screws, providing a secure and stable installation.
