Graphite Grey Elite Capped Composite Step Nosing
A Deep, Modern Slate-Grey Edge for Stairs, Borders & Raised Decks
Our Graphite Grey Elite Capped Composite Step Nosing finishes steps, staircases and picture-frame borders in a deep, contemporary grey that reads like natural slate. It is made to pair with our Graphite Grey Elite boards for a continuous, modern run from tread to edge.
Steps and outer edges take the heaviest footfall and the worst of the weather, and a flimsy trim lets a project down. This capped nosing gives a crisp, professional bullnose edge in a deep graphite tone that suits modern and urban gardens, grey render, anthracite window frames and minimalist schemes, and it looks especially sharp set against green planting.
Like every board in our Elite range, this step nose is wrapped in Tough Shield Technology, a fully bonded polymer shell over a heavy-duty composite core. That outer barrier keeps the edge scuff-resistant, slip-resistant and sealed against moisture exactly where foot traffic is heaviest.
Whether you are edging a contemporary courtyard, a rooftop terrace or a sleek raised deck, this profile brings the clean, architectural finish a high-end grey scheme is built around.
Planning a complex step layout? Step returns and riser clearances can take a bit of extra thought during subframe construction. Give our team a call before cutting your timber, and we can run through the exact spacings with you.

Designed for High Footfall & Weather Exposure
Made from our dense blend of 60% Recycled Wood Fibre and 40% High-Density Plastic and sealed in the Tough Shield cap, this profile will Never Rot, Split, or Warp under heavy use.
Sure Footing on Wet Steps: Grip matters most on stairs, especially through a damp UK winter. The embossed tread and rounded front edge give your foot something to key into, cutting the slip risk where it counts.
UV & Weather Resistance: Because the profile is fully capped, it shrugs off the UV fade and weathering that catch out uncapped boards. The deep Graphite Grey stays rich and true from day one, holding that slate-like depth rather than fading patchy and washed-out the way untreated timber and cheaper composite do.
Scuff & Stain Resistance: Mud, boots and dragged furniture always hit the step edge first. The outer shield stops it griming in, so even a high-traffic entrance edge cleans down with nothing more than warm soapy water.
Graphite Grey Finish: Colour-matched to our Graphite Grey Elite deck boards. A deep, slate-toned grey with a 3D embossed woodgrain on the tread for grip, leading into a smooth drop nose for a clean, sleek edge.
Every Elite step nosing is backed by our full 15-Year Commercial & Domestic Guarantee.

⚠️ Essential Step Installation Notes
Standard Step Dimensions: Pairing 1 step nosing with 1 full 145mm board behind it creates a comfortable ~290mm tread depth. Combined with a 145mm riser board, this gives a standard ~190mm step rise, so there’s no need to cut boards down their length on site.
Subframe Support: Always ensure the step nosing overhang is fully supported by an additional joist or solid timber double-noggin beneath the stair tread front edge.
300mm Joist Spacing: Stair risers and step joist centres must not exceed 300mm to ensure rigid support along the nosing edge and maintain guarantee compliance.

About The Step Nosing
Graphite Grey is the deep, contemporary grey in our Elite capped range, a slate-like tone that anchors modern schemes and contrasts beautifully with green planting. Like the rest of the range it is fully shielded with Tough Shield Technology, so a protective polymer shell completely encapsulates the board core, giving a UV-locked colour, a wipe-clean surface, and long-term protection against staining where foot traffic is highest.
Designed for stair treads, perimeter picture-framing and raised deck edges, this board carries a heavy-duty 42mm drop-nose lip that forms a clean, safe bullnose and removes the need for separate corner angle trims. The top tread is finished with a deep 3D embossed woodgrain for anti-slip traction, running smoothly into a flat drop face.
The core is the same dense 60% recycled wood fibre and 40% high-density plastic blend used across our range. The cap is bonded during manufacture rather than applied afterwards, which prevents lifting, peeling or delamination over time.

How It Performs On Steps
Stains and spills: Step edges take the brunt of heavy footfall, BBQ drips and outdoor mess. The non-porous shield means oils, mud and drinks wipe straight off rather than soaking in. Where uncapped step trims absorb grime over time, this Elite nosing simply wipes clean.
Colour Consistency: The Graphite Grey tone is UV-locked during manufacture, so the deep grey holds its depth and matches your Graphite Grey deck boards from day one, with no initial weathering shift.
Surface Scuffs & Safety: Step edges take heavy foot impact, and the durable cap stands up to boots, furniture scrapes and pets. Underfoot, the deeply embossed woodgrain tread gives reliable anti-slip grip in wet UK conditions.
Looking after it: An occasional wipe-down with warm soapy water and a soft broom is all it needs. No staining, painting or annual sealing.
Fitting & Sub-frame Requirements
Step nosing installations take a bit more sub-frame preparation than standard flat decking:
300mm Joist Centres: Stair risers and step joist centres must not exceed 300mm apart to ensure full structural support and keep the 15-year warranty valid.
Front Overhang Support: Always ensure the step nosing overhang is fully supported underneath by a double joist or timber noggin directly below the step edge.
Step Geometry: Pairing 1 step nosing board with 1 standard 145mm Elite board behind it creates a comfortable ~290mm step tread depth. Combined with a 145mm vertical riser board, this gives a standard ~190mm step rise without needing to cut down their length on site.
Compatible Clip Systems:
- Starter Clips: Ideal for securing the front overhang or starting the first board on a step tread.
- Stainless Steel X-Clips: Preferred hidden fixing for a tight 3–4mm joint, perfect for vertical step risers and step nosing seams.
- Stainless Steel T-Clips: Standard hidden fixings used along the rear grooved edge to join the main deck boards.
- Plastic T-Clips: A budget option for domestic step and decking installations.
