Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stair nosing be used outside?

Yes, the aluminium profile and PVC insert are suitable for outdoor use when correctly installed on a sound, stable step. For fully exposed external areas, ensure appropriate fixings and sealants are used and that the substrate is weather resistant.

How do I choose the right insert colour?

For best visibility, choose an insert colour that contrasts clearly with the surrounding floor finish and step surface. Yellow and white generally offer higher contrast, while black and dolphin grey provide a more discreet finish that can still improve edge definition.

Can the nosing be cut to size on site?

Yes, the aluminium profile can be cut to length on site using appropriate metal-cutting tools. Any cut ends should be deburred and cleaned before installation, and the PVC insert trimmed to fit the final length.
