Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stair nosing be used on both concrete and timber stairs?

Yes. The aluminium profile can be fixed to most common stair substrates, including concrete and timber, using appropriate screws and, where necessary, a compatible adhesive. Always ensure the surface is clean, dry and sound before installation.

Which insert colour should I choose?

Black and ice grey inserts provide a subtle, professional finish and work well where moderate contrast is sufficient. Yellow offers a higher level of visual contrast and is often preferred in areas where improved step edge visibility is important, such as public or commercial buildings.

Can the stair nosing be cut to fit my specific step widths?

Yes. The aluminium nosing can be cut to size on site using appropriate cutting tools for metal. Measure each step carefully before cutting, and de‑burr any cut edges to ensure a safe, tidy finish.
