Frequently Asked Questions

How is this stair nosing fixed to the step?

The nosing is typically surface fixed to the existing stair tread using suitable countersunk screws and, where required, a compatible construction adhesive. Fixings should be selected to suit the substrate and installed in line with good practice for secure, long-lasting performance.

Can this stair nosing be used on all types of stairs?

It is designed for straight internal stairs with suitable solid treads such as concrete, timber or similar stable substrates. It is not intended for use on open mesh, very thin or flexible stair constructions without appropriate backing or preparation.

How should the stair nosing and rubber insert be cleaned?

Routine cleaning can be carried out with a soft brush or vacuum to remove loose dirt, followed by wiping with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Abrasive cleaners, strong solvents and harsh scourers should be avoided to prevent damage to the aluminium finish and rubber insert.
