Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stair nosing be cut to shorter lengths?

Yes, the 2.44m (2440mm) length can be cut down on site using appropriate metal-cutting tools to suit individual step widths.

Is this nosing suitable for use on concrete stairs?

It can be installed on concrete stairs provided the surface is sound, level and correctly drilled and plugged for fixings. A suitable construction adhesive can also be used in conjunction with mechanical fixings.
