Frequently Asked Questions

Is this stair nosing suitable for all types of flooring?

This profile is specifically designed for use with vinyl and similar resilient floor coverings. It may also be compatible with some other thin floor finishes, but it is not intended for use with thick carpets or heavy tiles.

Can the 2.44m length be cut down to fit my stairs?

Yes, the 2.44 metre (2440mm) length can be cut on site using appropriate tools to suit the width of individual steps. Care should be taken to ensure clean, square cuts for a neat finish.

How do I choose the right insert colour?

When selecting an insert colour, consider using a shade that contrasts with the surrounding floor to improve visibility of the step edge. Options such as Hazard, Premium Black, Red or bright greens can provide strong contrast, while more neutral tones like Beige, Brown, Mid Grey or Dark Grey may better complement subtle interior schemes.
