Frequently Asked Questions
What floor finishes is this stair nosing compatible with?
This profile is designed for use with vinyl, lino, and lightweight carpet floor finishes. The single-channel rakeback design sits flush against the stair riser, making it well suited to refurbishment and new-build projects using these materials.
Can this nosing be used on external staircases?
Yes. When fitted with an Exterior Grip insert — available in Brimstone, Coal, and Everest — this profile is suitable for external stairways, terraces, and access steps where additional traction is required. Always assess site conditions before installation.
What are the dimensions of this stair nosing profile?
The profile has a tread (horizontal) dimension of 56 mm, a riser (vertical) dimension of 32 mm, and a gauge (profile thickness) of 3.5 mm. It is available in stock lengths of 2.44 m (2440 mm), 2.75 m (2750 mm), and 3.22 m (3220 mm).
How is this stair nosing fixed to the stair?
The profile can be secured using mechanical fixings, a suitable adhesive, or a combination of both, depending on the substrate and site requirements. Cut to the required length on site using a fine-tooth metal-cutting blade.
