Outdoor stairs in a public place get rain, frost, dirt and constant use. The nosing, the strip along the front edge of each step, does two jobs: it gives grip where feet land, and it marks the edge of every step so people can see where it is, in daylight or under lights.

Fitting external nosings is precise work. Each one is cut to the width of the step, set tight to the front edge and fixed so it cannot lift or rock, with the same line carried up the full flight. On a long staircase like this one, consistency from the bottom step to the top is what makes it look right and work safely.
