Frequently Asked Questions

Is this stair nosing suitable for both new and existing staircases?

Yes. The slimline aluminium profile can be fitted to new stairs as part of a planned installation or retrofitted to existing staircases during refurbishment works, provided the substrate is sound and level.

How do I choose the right colour to meet BS8300 guidance?

BS8300 recommends a good visual contrast between the stair nosing and the surrounding floor finish. Select a colour that clearly differs in tone from your floor covering, for example a light-coloured nosing on a dark floor or a darker nosing on a pale floor.

Can the nosing be cut to fit my stair width?

The aluminium nosing can be cut on site using appropriate tools, such as a mitre saw with a metal-cutting blade or a hacksaw, allowing you to trim each length to match the exact width of your stair treads.
