Frequently Asked Questions

Can this self adhesive stair nosing be fitted over carpet?

This nosing is best suited to firm, stable surfaces such as laminate, vinyl and timber. It is not recommended for use directly over soft carpets, as the adhesive requires a solid base for secure bonding.

Can I cut the 2.7m length to fit shorter steps?

Yes, the aluminium profile can be cut to size using a suitable fine-toothed hacksaw or mitre saw. Always measure carefully and deburr cut edges before installation.

How should I prepare the step before sticking the nosing down?

Ensure the step surface is clean, dry and free from dust, grease and loose material. Wipe with a suitable cleaner if necessary, allow to dry fully, then position the nosing carefully and apply firm, even pressure along its length to activate the adhesive.
