Frequently Asked Questions

Is this stair nosing suitable for use on all types of internal stairs?

It can be fitted to most internal stair constructions, including concrete, timber and metal substrates, provided that a secure mechanical fixing can be achieved. Always ensure the substrate is sound, level and capable of accepting appropriate fixings.

How do I choose the right insert colour?

For best visibility, select an insert colour that contrasts with the surrounding floor finish. Options such as yellow, white, red or cobalt blue often provide strong contrast, while grey and neutral tones such as dolphin grey, ice grey, beige, brown or canvas can suit more subtle design schemes.

Can this nosing be used on stairs with existing floor coverings?

Yes, the rakeback profile is designed to work with many common floor coverings, such as vinyl, laminate and carpet tiles. The floor finish should be properly trimmed to meet the rakeback section, and the nosing securely fixed through to the stair substrate in accordance with good installation practice.
