Frequently Asked Questions
Can this stair nosing be cut to size?
Yes, both the 900mm and 2700mm lengths can be cut down using appropriate metal-cutting tools to suit your exact stair width.
Is it suitable for use on carpeted stairs?
This nosing is generally better suited to hard floor finishes or thin floor coverings. If using with carpet, the pile should be kept low at the edge and trimmed neatly to ensure the nosing sits flat and securely.
How is the stair nosing fixed in place?
The nosing can be mechanically fixed using countersunk screws and, where appropriate, used in conjunction with a suitable adhesive. Always ensure the substrate is sound, level and clean before installation and follow standard good practice for stair edging fitting.
