This square edge stair nosing is designed specifically for use with 3mm luxury vinyl tiles (LVT), providing a neat, professional finish to step edges while helping to protect both the floor covering and the substrate. Its clean 27 x 6mm aluminium profile gives a sharp, contemporary look that works well in both residential and commercial interiors.

Suitable for use on internal staircases in homes, offices, retail spaces and other light to medium duty environments, this nosing helps to reduce wear on step edges and creates a safer, more defined transition between treads and risers. Available in a range of attractive anodised and coated finishes and in practical cut lengths, it can be matched to most design schemes and stair layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stair nosing be used with thicker floor coverings?

This profile is designed specifically for use with 3mm luxury vinyl tiles. Using it with thicker coverings may result in an uneven transition. For other floor thicknesses, a different nosing profile should be selected.

How is the stair nosing fixed in place?

The nosing can typically be fixed using countersunk screws, a suitable high-grab adhesive, or a combination of both, depending on the substrate and site conditions. Always ensure the substrate is clean, dry and stable before installation and follow relevant site guidance.

Can the 2.7m length be cut down on site?

Yes, the 2.7m length can be cut to size using appropriate tools for cutting aluminium, such as a fine-toothed hacksaw or suitable powered saw. Edges should be carefully de-burred after cutting to ensure a clean, safe finish.
