{"product_id":"aluminium-ramp-trim-for-heavy-duty-stair-nosings-26mm-per-metre","title":"Aluminium Ramp Trim for Heavy Duty Stair Nosings, 26mm, Per Metre","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis slim aluminium ramp trim finishes the back edge of a heavy duty stair nosing when the stair is covered in a smooth floor rather than carpet. Heavy duty nosings have a 5mm gauge to suit medium-weight carpet. When vinyl, lino or safety flooring is laid behind them instead, the thinner covering sits below the back of the nosing and leaves a small step that catches heels and cleaning machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 26mm-wide trim fits into that gap. Its full-height edge sits against the back of the nosing and its top face slopes down to meet the smooth floor, giving a neat, continuous transition across the whole tread. It is sold per linear metre in the same nine finishes as our heavy duty nosings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA true ramp, not a flat packer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe profile is a shallow wedge: full height along one edge, falling evenly to a thin feathered edge on the other. That slope is what removes the trip edge. A flat spacer only moves the step further back, while a ramp gets rid of it. Because the slope is spread over 26mm, it stays barely noticeable underfoot and doesn't become a new hazard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA lipped edge that locates against the nosing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe high edge has a small upstand lip and groove, so the trim sits tight against the back of the nosing in a straight, parallel line. The underside is serrated along its length to give adhesive something to key into.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFinishes that match the nosing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is offered in the same nine finishes as our heavy duty nosings, from economical mill aluminium to satin, bronze, black and mirror-bright Mirrorflect. Nosing and trim can read as one piece, or you can pick a contrasting finish on purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e26mm wide aluminium ramp profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor use behind heavy duty (5mm gauge) stair nosings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRamps down to vinyl, lino and other smooth floorcoverings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9 finishes, priced per linear metre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it's used\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommercial and public stairs where heavy duty nosings are fitted but the treads are finished in sheet vinyl, safety flooring or lino: school and hospital stairs, office stairwells, shopping centre and leisure stairs, and common parts of apartment blocks.

Mill Finish is plain, untreated aluminium and the most economical option for back-of-house and service stairs. Satin Silver, Satin Gold, Satin Bronze, Dark Bronze and Satin Black are low-sheen coloured finishes. Bright Polished and the two Mirrorflect finishes are the most reflective and suit feature stairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo you need it at all?\u003c\/strong\u003e Only if the nosing is a 5mm gauge heavy duty profile and the floor behind it is a thin smooth covering.

Cut the trim to each step width with a fine-toothed saw for aluminium and de-burr the ends. With the step clean, dry and sound, bed the trim on a suitable flooring or stair-nosing adhesive with its lipped edge tight against the back of the nosing, then lay the smooth floorcovering up to its feathered edge. Clean with a damp mop and neutral detergent. Avoid abrasive pads on polished, coloured and Mirrorflect finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does this ramp trim do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeavy duty nosings have a 5mm gauge, which suits medium-weight carpet.
