Frequently Asked Questions
What is this stair nosing and what is it used for?
This is a bullnose aluminium stair nosing with a single channel for a PVC slip-resistant insert. It is fitted to the front edge of stair treads to protect the step from wear and impact damage, clearly define the step edge for safer use, and provide a neat, finished appearance. It is suitable for internal staircases in residential, commercial and public buildings where vinyl, lino or lightweight carpet floor coverings are used.
How is this stair nosing installed?
The aluminium profile is screw-fixed directly through the channel to the stair tread using appropriate mechanical fixings (not included). Once the PVC insert is pressed into the channel, it conceals the screw heads, leaving a clean and professional finish. An appropriate adhesive may also be used alongside mechanical fixings for additional stability on certain substrates.
Can this nosing be cut to size on site?
Yes. The profile is supplied in a 2.75 metre (2750mm) stock length specifically to allow on-site cutting to the precise width of each stair tread. This makes it cost-effective for fitting multiple steps from a single length and reduces material waste. It can be cut using a standard mitre saw or aluminium-rated cutting blade.
What floor coverings is this stair nosing compatible with?
This bullnose profile is designed for use with vinyl, lino and lightweight carpets. The 3.5mm gauge and bullnose front shape are optimised for resilient floor coverings and low-pile carpets, providing a neat transition at the step edge without creating a trip hazard. It is not recommended for use with thick or heavy-pile carpet where a deeper profile may be required.
What finishes and insert colours are available?
The aluminium carrier is available in six finishes: Bright Polished, Dark Bronze, Mill Finish, Mirrorflect Gold, Satin Black and Satin Gold. The PVC insert is available in twelve colours: Apple Green, Aura, Beige, Brown, Dark Blue, Dark Green, Dark Grey, Hazard, Mid Grey, Premium Black, Red and Sage Green. This wide selection allows you to match or contrast with your flooring scheme and highlight step edges for improved visibility.
Is this stair nosing suitable for outdoor use?
No. This profile is designed for internal stair applications only. The PVC insert fitted in this single channel configuration is intended for indoor environments. For external or exposed stair locations, a profile with an exterior-grade insert would be required. Please refer to the relevant product listings for exterior-rated options.
