Frequently Asked Questions

Which profile size should I choose for my tiles?

The 30x10mm option is generally suitable for thinner tiles, while the 30mm x 12mm profile is better for slightly thicker tiles or where additional cover is required. Always check the combined thickness of your tile, adhesive bed and substrate, and select the profile that best aligns with the finished tile height at the step edge.

Can this stair nosing be used on existing tiled stairs?

This profile is designed primarily as a tile-in nosing to be installed at the same time as the tiles. For existing tiled stairs, the old tiles at the step edge usually need to be removed and replaced so that the nosing can be integrated correctly into the new tiling. Consult your installer to confirm suitability for your specific project.

Is the PVC insert replaceable if it becomes worn?

Yes, the two-part construction allows the PVC insert to be removed and replaced if it becomes worn or damaged, without the need to replace the entire aluminium base section. This helps to extend the life of the installation and maintain a safe, visually clear step edge.
