Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stair nosing be used on external stairs?

Yes. When used with the Exterior Grip inserts (Brimstone, Coal or Everest), this profile is suitable for many external applications, provided it is correctly fixed to a sound substrate and maintained regularly.

How do I choose the right length for my stairs?

Measure the full width of each step and select the nearest stock length that allows the profile to be cut to size on site. The available lengths are 2.44m, 2.75m and 3.22m, which can be trimmed to suit individual stair widths.

What type of fixings should I use?

Fixings depend on the substrate. For concrete or masonry steps, use appropriate masonry plugs and screws. For timber or metal stairs, use suitable wood or self-tapping screws. Always ensure the nosing is securely fixed along its length to prevent movement.
