Abstract

In an embodiment of the present invention, a stair nosing is provided. The nosing includes a generally flat portion having a first side and a second side. The nosing also includes a bent portion extending along the first side of the flat portion. The bent portion includes an arcuate section and a vertical section. The arcuate section includes a first plurality of non-skid members.

In another embodiment of the present invention, a stair nosing formed from a blank of material is provided. The blank includes a first side and a second side. The blank is also bent along the first side to form a flat portion, an arcuate portion and a vertical section. A plurality of cutouts is located along the arcuate portion. The cutouts are adapted to form a first plurality of non-skid members.
