Frequently Asked Questions

Is this stair nosing suitable for use on concrete stairs?

Yes. The aluminium nosing can be mechanically fixed to concrete stairs using appropriate plugs and screws. The surface should be clean, sound and level before installation.

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

Under DDA guidance, the stair edge should provide a clear visual contrast to the surrounding floor. Choose an insert colour that is noticeably lighter or darker than the stair finish. Popular options for high contrast include yellow, white, black and cobalt blue, depending on the adjacent flooring colour.

Can this nosing be used on stairs with carpet?

Yes. This profile is suitable for many carpeted installations. The nosing is typically fitted over the finished floorcovering at the step edge, ensuring the carpet is securely adhered and trimmed for a neat and safe finish.
