Frequently Asked Questions

How does the emergency illumination work on this stair nosing?

The nosing incorporates a photoluminescent strip that absorbs light from normal ambient lighting during the day. In the event of reduced lighting or a power failure, it emits a visible glow, helping to mark the step edge and guide users along the stair.

Can this nosing be cut to suit shorter stair widths?

Yes, the profile can be cut on site from the supplied standard lengths using suitable metal-cutting tools. This allows you to trim the nosing to match the exact width of each step while maintaining a neat finish.

Is the stair nosing suitable for all types of floor covering?

The nosing is designed for use on most internal stairs with common floor coverings such as vinyl, linoleum, rubber, laminate and carpet. The stair edge should be sound, level and properly prepared before installation, and fixing methods should follow good practice for the specific substrate and floor finish.
