This MS Polymer Stair Nosing Adhesive is a professional-grade, fast-curing bonding solution designed specifically for securing stair nosings, trims and floor profiles. Formulated with modern MS polymer technology, it delivers strong, flexible adhesion to a wide range of common building substrates.

Supplied in a convenient 290ml cartridge for use with a standard sealant gun, this adhesive is ideal for both new installations and refurbishments in commercial, public and residential buildings. It helps achieve a durable, clean and reliable finish while reducing reliance on mechanical fixings.

Product Features

• Fast-curing MS polymer formula for rapid installation and minimal downtime.
• Strong, permanent bond suitable for most stair nosings, trims and profiles.
• High initial grab to help hold nosings in place during fixing.
• Flexible, non-brittle bond accommodates minor movement and vibration.
• Solvent-free, low-odour composition for safer use in occupied buildings.
• Suitable for use on substrates such as concrete, wood, metal and many existing floor finishes.
• Supplied in a 290ml cartridge, compatible with standard mastic/caulking guns.

Key Features and Benefits

• Fast installation – quick curing and good initial grab allow stair nosings to be fitted and brought back into use sooner.
• Reduced drilling and fixings – helps minimise or supplement mechanical fixings, saving labour time and limiting damage to substrates.
• Reliable long-term bond – tough yet flexible adhesive layer resists everyday foot traffic and impacts on stairs.
• Improved safety – secure bonding reduces the risk of loose nosings and trip hazards on busy stairways.
• Versatile application – adheres to a variety of common construction materials, making it ideal for mixed-substrate projects and refurbishments.
• Cleaner finish – cartridge application allows precise bead placement and a neat, professional result.

Specifications

*Always test adhesion on a small area first and follow surface preparation guidelines.

Applications and Ideal Uses

This stair nosing adhesive is suitable for a wide range of internal stair and floor edging installations where a strong, fast-curing bond is required.

• Fixing aluminium or PVC stair nosings in commercial stairwells.
• Securing edge trims and transition profiles between different floor coverings.
• Bonding nosings on timber, concrete or tiled stairs in residential properties.
• Refurbishing existing steps in schools, healthcare facilities and public buildings.
• Supporting mechanical fixings where extra bonding strength is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this adhesive be used on both concrete and timber stairs?

Yes. The MS polymer formulation is suitable for a range of common substrates including concrete and timber, provided they are sound, clean, dry and free from dust, grease and loose material. Always prepare the surface properly and test adhesion where necessary.

Do I still need mechanical fixings with this stair nosing adhesive?

This adhesive provides a strong bond and may reduce the number of mechanical fixings required. However, for high-traffic or safety-critical installations, mechanical fixings are often recommended in addition to adhesive. Always follow the installation guidance for the specific stair nosing and comply with relevant safety standards.

How much coverage will I get from a 290ml cartridge?

Coverage depends on bead size and substrate profile. As a general guide, a 290ml cartridge can provide several linear metres of adhesive when applied in a standard bead. For precise estimates, consider the recommended bead pattern for your nosing profile and calculate based on the number of stairs and fixings required.
