Frequently Asked Questions

Can the 3.22m length be cut to fit smaller stairs?

Yes, the 3.22 metre bar can be cut on site using appropriate metal-cutting tools to suit individual stair widths. Always measure each tread carefully before cutting and deburr edges after trimming.

Which insert colour should I choose for best visibility?

For maximum step definition, it is recommended to choose a high-contrast insert colour such as Hazard, Red or a contrasting grey compared with the surrounding floor finish. This helps highlight the step edge and can improve user confidence and safety.

Is this stair nosing suitable for use on carpeted stairs?

This nosing can be used with various floor coverings, including some carpeted installations, provided the build-up and fixing method are suitable. It is generally best suited to firm finishes such as vinyl, laminate or hardwood; for thicker carpets, a nosing designed specifically for carpet applications may provide a better fit.
