Professional Installation Guide for UK Contractors

Pre-Installation Preparation

Measure stair width accurately and select appropriate nosing length. Clean stair edges thoroughly, removing debris, old adhesives, and loose material. Ensure substrate is dry, level, and structurally sound before proceeding.

Positioning & Alignment

Position the aluminium nosing flush with the stair edge, ensuring the rakeback profile aligns correctly with the tread surface. Mark fixing hole positions using the pre-drilled holes as a template. Verify alignment across the full width before drilling.

Substrate Drilling

For concrete stairs: Use 6mm masonry bit, drill to 40mm depth. For timber stairs: Use 4mm wood bit, drill to 30mm depth. For metal stairs: Use 5mm HSS bit with cutting fluid. Ensure holes are perpendicular to the stair surface.

Secure Fixing Installation

Insert appropriate fixings for substrate type (concrete plugs, wood screws, or metal fasteners). Position nosing and hand-tighten fixings from the centre outward to prevent bowing. Torque to manufacturer specifications – typically 4-6 Nm for optimal clamping without deformation.

PVC Insert Fitting

Clean the aluminium channel thoroughly. Press the PVC insert firmly into the channel, working from one end to the other. Ensure complete seating along the entire length with no gaps or raised sections.

Final Inspection & Quality Check

Verify all fixings are secure and flush. Check PVC insert is fully seated with no movement. Test edge alignment and ensure no trip hazards. Clean installation area and remove debris.

Maintenance & Care for Maximum Lifespan

Routine Cleaning Protocol

Clean weekly with pH-neutral detergent and warm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may damage the anodised finish. For high-traffic UK facilities, increase cleaning frequency to maintain optimal appearance and slip resistance.

PVC Insert Inspection

Inspect quarterly for wear, damage, or loosening. The PVC insert should maintain firm seating and high-friction surface. Replace insert if grip performance diminishes or visible wear exceeds 2mm depth.

Fixing Security Checks

Conduct annual inspections of fixing security, particularly in high-vibration environments. Re-torque loose fixings immediately. Replace any corroded or damaged fasteners with equivalent specification components.

Long-Term Performance Optimisation

Document installation date and maintenance activities. Monitor performance in high-traffic areas across your UK facility. Plan PVC insert replacement every 5-7 years in commercial environments, 10-15 years in residential applications.
