Frequently Asked Questions
Can this stair nosing be cut to fit smaller stair widths?
Yes, the nosing is supplied in 2.44m (2440mm) lengths and can be cut on site with appropriate tools to suit the exact width of each step.
Is this stair nosing suitable for both carpet and hard floor finishes?
The square aluminium profile can be used with a variety of floor coverings, including certain carpets, vinyl and laminate, provided it is correctly specified and installed. Always check the floor build-up and seek guidance if unsure.
How do I choose the right insert colour?
Consider the contrast between the tread surface and the insert. A higher contrast colour, such as Hazard, Red or Premium Black against a lighter floor, can help improve visibility of the step edge. For a more subtle look, choose insert colours that complement the surrounding decor, such as Mid Grey, Beige or Dark Grey.
