Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stair nosing be cut to fit shorter steps?

Yes. The 3.22m length can be cut to size using a suitable hacksaw or chop saw fitted with a blade designed for cutting aluminium. Always deburr cut edges before installation.

How is the nosing fixed to the stairs?

The profile is typically fixed mechanically using countersunk screws through pre-drilled holes. Depending on the substrate, appropriate plugs or anchors should be used. In some cases, a suitable adhesive may be used in addition to mechanical fixings for extra security.

Which insert colour should I choose for best visibility?

For maximum visibility, choose an insert colour that provides a strong contrast with the surrounding floor covering, such as Hazard, Red or a light tone against a dark floor. This makes the step edge more noticeable, particularly in areas used by people with reduced vision.
