Professional Installation Guide

Pre-Installation Preparation

Measure stair tread width accurately and order nosing to match. Clean stair edges thoroughly, removing debris, old adhesives, and loose material. Ensure substrate is sound, dry, and level. For timber stairs, verify structural integrity. For concrete, check for spalling or damage requiring repair.

Tools and Materials Required

Drill with masonry or wood bits (depending on substrate), screwdriver or impact driver, tape measure, pencil, spirit level, appropriate fixings (screws and plugs for masonry, wood screws for timber), safety equipment including eye protection and dust mask.

Installation Process

Step 1: Position nosing on stair edge, ensuring equal overhang on both sides. Mark fixing hole positions through pre-drilled holes in the nosing profile.

Step 2: Remove nosing and drill pilot holes at marked positions. For masonry, use appropriate masonry bit and insert wall plugs. For timber, drill pilot holes slightly smaller than screw diameter.

Step 3: Reposition nosing and insert fixings through pre-drilled holes. Tighten screws progressively, working from centre outwards to ensure even seating. Do not over-tighten as this may distort the profile.

Step 4: Verify nosing is level and firmly secured. Check PVC insert is properly seated in the aluminium channel. Clean any installation debris.

Step 5: Repeat process for remaining stairs, maintaining consistent positioning and alignment throughout the staircase.

Installation Best Practices

Install from bottom to top of staircase for safety. Use minimum three fixings per metre of nosing length. On high-traffic stairs, consider additional fixings for enhanced security. Allow adhesive sealants (if used) to cure fully before permitting traffic. Document installation date for maintenance records.

Maintenance and Care Instructions

Routine Cleaning

Clean regularly with neutral pH detergent and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may damage the PVC insert or aluminium finish. For heavy soiling, use soft-bristle brush. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry. The non-porous surfaces resist dirt accumulation and maintain appearance with minimal intervention.

Periodic Inspection

Inspect quarterly in high-traffic areas, annually in moderate-use locations. Check fixing security, looking for loose screws or movement. Examine PVC insert for wear, damage, or displacement. Verify aluminium profile remains firmly attached and shows no signs of corrosion or deformation.

Preventive Maintenance

Retighten fixings if minor movement detected. Replace individual sections if localized damage occurs rather than entire staircase. Keep drainage clear on external applications to prevent water pooling. Address substrate issues promptly to prevent nosing failure.

Long-Term Performance

With proper installation and minimal maintenance, expect 20+ years of reliable service in commercial environments. The durable materials resist degradation, maintaining slip resistance and compliance throughout the product lifecycle. Document maintenance activities for regulatory audits and insurance purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this stair nosing suitable for outdoor use?

The aluminium construction and PVC insert are weather-resistant and suitable for covered external applications such as building entrances and sheltered stairways. For fully exposed outdoor stairs subject to direct rainfall and extreme weather, consult our technical team for specific recommendations based on your location and exposure conditions.

Does this product meet UK Building Regulations?

Yes, our stair nosing is engineered to comply with UK Building Regulations Approved Document M (Access to and use of buildings) and Approved Document K (Protection from falling, collision and impact). The contrasting PVC insert provides the visual demarcation required for DDA compliance, and the slip-resistant surface meets safety standards for stairs in commercial and residential buildings.

How many fixings are required per length of nosing?

We recommend minimum three fixings per metre of nosing length for standard applications. High-traffic commercial environments or stairs subject to heavy loads may benefit from additional fixings at 250mm centres. The pre-drilled holes in the aluminium profile accommodate various fixing patterns to suit specific requirements.

Can I install this nosing myself or do I need a professional?

Competent DIY enthusiasts with appropriate tools can install this nosing on residential stairs. However, for commercial installations, building regulation compliance, or stairs in public areas, we recommend professional installation by qualified contractors. This ensures correct fixing, compliance documentation, and warranty validity.

What is the difference between this and cheaper rubber stair nosing?

Rubber nosing typically uses adhesive fixing which fails under traffic and moisture exposure, requiring frequent replacement. Our aluminium nosing uses mechanical fixings for permanent security. The aluminium construction provides structural support and decades of durability, whilst rubber products degrade rapidly under UV exposure and heavy use. Total cost of ownership over 10 years is significantly lower with our premium aluminium solution.

How do I determine the correct length for my stairs?

Measure the width of your stair tread from edge to edge. Order nosing to match this width, or slightly longer if you prefer to trim on-site. For stairs with varying widths, measure each tread individually. Our technical team can assist with measuring guidance and quantity calculations for complete staircase projects.

What maintenance is required to maintain slip resistance?

The PVC insert maintains slip resistance with routine cleaning using neutral detergent and water. Unlike some anti-slip surfaces that require specialist treatments, our nosing performs consistently with standard cleaning protocols. Quarterly inspection in high-traffic areas ensures any wear is identified early, though the durable materials typically maintain performance for decades.
