Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stair nosing be fitted to existing stairs during refurbishment?

Yes. The NSL09 Commercial Stair Nosing is suitable for retrofit on most existing stairs, provided the substrate is sound, level and properly prepared. Old floor coverings at the step edge should be removed or trimmed back before fixing.

Which insert colour should I choose for compliance with access guidance?

Access guidance typically recommends a good tonal contrast between the stair nosing and the surrounding floor finish. Lighter colours such as yellow, white, beige, canvas or ice grey can contrast well with darker floors, while black, brown, dolphin grey, midnight grey or cobalt blue may be suitable against lighter finishes. Always check contrast on site under actual lighting conditions.

How do I maintain the anti-slip inserts?

Regularly clean the inserts using a damp cloth or mop with a mild detergent, ensuring that dirt and debris are removed from the textured surface. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive pads that may damage the insert. Periodically inspect the nosings and re-fix or replace if they become loose or excessively worn.
