Frequently Asked Questions
How do I cut the 2.44m stair nosing to fit my steps?
The aluminium nosing can be cut to length on site using appropriate metal-cutting tools, such as a fine-toothed hacksaw or mitre saw with a suitable blade. Measure each step carefully and cut slightly oversize if necessary, then trim back for a precise fit.
Can this stair nosing be used on existing stairs as a retrofit?
Yes, this nosing is suitable for refurbishment projects as well as new builds. Ensure the existing step surfaces are sound, level and clean before fixing. It can typically be installed over hard floor finishes such as vinyl, laminate, timber or tiles using mechanical fixings and, where appropriate, adhesive.
Which insert colour should I choose for best visibility?
For improved visibility, select an insert that contrasts clearly with the surrounding floor finish. Brighter options and the hazard insert provide more visual definition on stair edges, which can be particularly helpful in busy or low-light areas.
