Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right insert colour for DDA compliance?

To support DDA and inclusive design guidance, the stair nosing insert should provide a strong visual contrast with the surrounding floor finish and stair substrate. Typically this means selecting a light insert on a dark floor, or a dark insert on a light floor, to clearly define the step edge.

Can this nosing be used on all types of stair coverings?

The profile is suitable for most internal stair coverings, including vinyl, laminate, timber, carpet tiles and many other hard floor finishes. Always ensure the floor finish is properly fixed and level at the stair edge before fitting the nosing.

How is the stair nosing fixed to the stair?

This nosing is typically fixed using mechanical screws through the pre-drilled channel into the step substrate. The PVC insert is then pressed into place to conceal the fixings. Use suitable screws and plugs for the stair construction, and follow good practice for drilling and fixing to ensure a secure installation.
