Can this stair nosing be used on external stairs?

No, this profile is designed for internal use only. For external applications, a nosing specifically engineered for outdoor conditions should be selected.

How do I choose the right insert colour?

For safety and accessibility, it is recommended to choose an insert colour that provides a strong contrast with the surrounding floor finish, such as yellow or white on darker floors, or darker tones like black or midnight grey on lighter floors.

How is the NHD17 Stair Nosing installed?

The nosing is typically fixed mechanically to the stair tread using appropriate screws and plugs for the substrate. The profile can be cut to length on site, ensuring it fits neatly across the stair width. Always follow relevant installation guidance and ensure the substrate is sound, level and clean before fitting.
