Frequently Asked Questions

Q Can this stair nosing be cut to fit narrower stairs?

Yes. The 2.44m (2440mm) stock length can be cut on site using appropriate metal-cutting tools to suit the required stair width.

Q Is the double PVC insert replaceable if it becomes worn?

In most installations the PVC inserts can be removed and replaced, provided a compatible insert profile is used. Always check the insert fit before installation and retain offcuts for reference.

Q Is this stair nosing suitable for use on external stairs?

This profile is primarily intended for internal use. For external stairs, a specifically designed external-grade stair nosing with appropriate corrosion resistance and slip resistance should be selected.
