Frequently Asked Questions
Can this stair nosing be used outdoors all year round?
Yes. The GRP construction and medium grit surface are designed to perform in wet, frosty and oily conditions, making the nosing suitable for external staircases throughout the year.
How is the stair nosing fixed in place?
The nosing is typically installed over existing steps using a combination of a suitable high-strength adhesive and mechanical fixings such as screws. The substrate should be clean, dry and structurally sound before installation.
