Frequently Asked Questions
Can this PVC stair edging be cut to fit shorter steps?
Yes, the 2.75 m length can be cut down on site using a fine-toothed saw to match individual stair widths. Always measure carefully and deburr the cut edge before installation.
Is this stair edging suitable for use on carpeted stairs?
It can be used with many low-pile carpets and some other floor coverings, provided the stair is properly prepared and the profile is securely fixed. Thick or heavily padded carpets may require a different type of nosing.
Can this product be used outdoors?
This stair edging is designed primarily for indoor applications. For external stairs exposed to weather, a nosing specifically rated for outdoor use is recommended.
