Description

A tiled staircase needs something at the tread edge, and the choice is usually between a cut tile arris left exposed and a trim that covers it. This is the trim. It is an aluminium edge profile 45mm across the tread and 20mm down the riser face, bedded into the adhesive as the tread tile goes down so that the metal takes the wear instead of the ceramic. A PVC insert runs along the tread face to give the edge grip and definition.

How it goes in

The profile carries a 17mm perforated anchoring leg. You cut it to length, tile the riser if the riser is being tiled, then bed the leg into the adhesive so the adhesive squeezes up through the perforations and keys the trim in place. The tread tile is then laid up to the channel and finishes flush with it. There are no screws, no plugs and nothing drilled through the tile.

The consequence is worth being clear about: this is a trim for a staircase being tiled now. It cannot be added to a staircase that is already finished. If your treads are already down, you need a surface-mounted profile instead.

Materials and performance

The channel is aluminium alloy 6063 to EN 755, anodised to DIN 17611, in a Matt Silver finish with a published LRV of 73.8. The insert is a REACH-compliant flexible PVC developed for non-scuff stair nosing use. For slip resistance the manufacturer publishes category R11 on the inclined platform test to DIN 51130:2010 and pendulum values of PTV 66 dry and PTV 54 wet to BS 7976-2:2002. These are the manufacturer's figures rather than our own test results; the UK Slip Resistance Group treats PTV 36 and above as low slip potential. The manufacturer further states that the profile meets DDA guidelines and Building Regulations, a claim we carry as published and have not independently verified.

Choosing your options

Pick the 10mm or 12.5mm option to match the thickness of your tread tile, not the size of the trim — the visible face is 45mm x 20mm either way. Pick a length that exceeds the finished tread width so you can cut in. Pick an insert colour for the contrast you need against the tile: the manufacturer's published LRVs run from Black at 4.5 through Dolphin Grey at 27.6 and Beige at 41.1 up to White at 79.9.

Care

Clean the insert with a neutral detergent, rinse with clean water and let it dry before foot traffic returns. The aluminium can be refreshed with steel wool or a cloth. The manufacturer states that solvent cleaners should not be used on its aluminium products.
