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.

Job done, its not flashy but delivers bang for your buck compared to pricier options. Using these nosings on the steps in our modern office was straightforward enough, no fancy tricks needed. Plus, definitely saved on potential indoor slip-ups during busier afternoons. Would grab ‘em again without second thought!
Needed a sleek solution for the polished marble stairs in our skyscraper lobby, and the installation couldn’t have been simpler. Just measured, cut to the precise length, and affixed it firmly - job done in no time. Impressed with its durability under regular wear from high footfall; it certainly complements our building’s modern design while offering that crucial safety edge.
Came securely boxed and was easy enough to set up in our busy metro station. I’ve noticed it manages to keep a reliable grip even when theres a drizzle, which our commuters appreciate. Considering how much foot traffic rolls over this bullnose, Im genuinely impressed with its durable performance so far.
Wasnt sure at first, but installing the stair nosing for extra safety on our patio steps turned out to be a great decision—it arrived swiftly in neat packaging with all necessary screws included! The profile fit perfectly along the tile edges and it blends well with our stone surroundings. After a couple of months in wet conditions, its proven its worth and neatly solved our minor slip-risk problem too!
Popped these stair treads on our concrete service steps in the warehouse, and after a few months of forklifts running up and down, theyve held up like champs. The aluminium isnt showing any signs of bending or wear - far tougher than what I was expecting for the price. Theyre doing a bang-up job despite my initial grumbles.
Got this for the entrance steps at our local library, and it really sharpens up the appearance! The sturdy grip and 70mm size of the stair nosing not only made footing on those stone steps safer but somehow pulled everything together visually. Definitely planning to grab more when refurbishing other areas—looks impressive and holds up amazingly well against heavy foot traffic.
Surprisingly sturdy, this stair edging was a breeze to customise. I had to trim it to fit our office stairs and didnt expect it to be so approachable; a quick cut was all it took. Its held up nicely through the daily trampling, keeping everyone on their feet and those steps in top shape without hassle.
