Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stair nosing be used on carpeted stairs?

This product is designed for smooth, hard surfaces such as vinyl, laminate and sealed timber. It is not suitable for use directly on pile carpets. For carpeted stairs, a nosing designed specifically for carpet or carpet tiles should be used.

How should the surface be prepared before installation?

The stair surface should be clean, dry, smooth and free from dust, grease and loose material. Any cleaning agents must be fully removed and the surface allowed to dry completely before applying the self adhesive backing to ensure a strong bond.

Can the nosing be trimmed to fit shorter steps?

Yes, the PVC profile can be cut to length on site using a fine-toothed saw or suitable cutting tool. Measure each step carefully and cut from the ends to achieve a neat, accurate fit.
