French term

nez des marches

French to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering marketing article
Cette option peut être limitée à une zone spécifique du bassin (nez des marches ou périphérie du bassin, pour une visibilité et une sécurité accrues).

What exactly is this? It's not a banister..... is it a bar of metal on the corner of each step? I don't know what else it could be.
Proposed translations (English)
4 +4 nosing
4 safety edge tiles on the steps

The option is spreading a coating on the material.
French Foodie Oct 25, 2008:
What is the "option" they are referring to just prior to this sentence?

nosing

If they are tiles around a swimming pool, it would be called nosing tiles. See "nosing tiles" on web page link (left hand menu). Prevents slipping, makes the edge of the pool more visible for safety purposes.
