Installation Notes
This nosing is supplied as a full 3.22 m (3220 mm) stock length and is intended to be cut to the required tread width on site using a fine-tooth metal saw or mitre saw. Fix mechanically through the countersunk holes in the base of the profile using appropriate fixings for the substrate — masonry anchors for concrete, wood screws for timber, or self-tapping screws for steel. PVC inserts are pressed into the channels after fixing and can be replaced independently if worn. Ensure the step surface is clean, level, and free from debris before installation. For best results on carpet-covered stairs, trim the carpet flush with the riser face before fitting.
