Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stair nosing be cut to fit narrower stairs?

Yes. The nosing is supplied in a 3.22m length and can be cut down using appropriate metal-cutting tools to suit the width of each step. All cut edges should be de-burred for a neat, safe finish.

How is the nosing fixed to the stairs?

The profile is typically fixed using countersunk screws through the base of the channel. Once secured, the slip-resistant inserts are pressed into the channels to conceal the fixings and provide a clean appearance.

Which insert colour should I choose for best visibility?

For maximum contrast and visibility, select an insert colour that clearly contrasts with the surrounding floor and nosing finish. Colours such as Hazard, Red or Premium Black often provide strong visual definition, but the ideal choice depends on the colour of your existing floor covering.
