Frequently Asked Questions
Is this stair nosing suitable for use on outdoor steps?
No, this nosing is designed specifically for indoor use. For external applications, a nosing manufactured and rated for outdoor environments should be used.
Can it be fitted over existing floor coverings such as vinyl or laminate?
Yes, this PVC stair nosing can typically be installed over common indoor floor coverings, provided the substrate is sound, clean and level. Always ensure the nosing sits firmly on the step edge and follow appropriate fixing methods.
How do I cut the nosing to size?
