Professional Installation Guide

Step 1: Surface Preparation
Thoroughly clean the stair tread edge, removing all dirt, grease, old adhesive, and loose material. The surface must be completely dry and structurally sound before proceeding. For concrete stairs, ensure the edge is free from spalling or damage.

Step 2: Measurement and Cutting
Measure the exact width of your stair tread. Cut the aluminium nosing to the precise length using a fine-toothed metal saw or professional cutting equipment. Deburr all cut edges to ensure a clean, professional finish.

Step 3: Positioning and Marking
Position the nosing profile on the stair edge, ensuring the silicone carbide insert overhangs the tread nose appropriately. Mark fixing hole positions through the pre-drilled holes onto the stair surface using a pencil or marker.

Step 4: Drilling Pilot Holes
Using an appropriate drill bit for your substrate material (masonry bit for concrete, wood bit for timber), drill pilot holes at the marked positions. Ensure hole depth accommodates your chosen fixings with adequate purchase.

Step 5: Fixing Installation
Secure the nosing using professional-grade screws and plugs suitable for your substrate. For concrete or masonry stairs, use expansion plugs or chemical anchors. Tighten fixings progressively to ensure even pressure distribution and prevent profile distortion.

Step 6: Final Inspection
Verify that the nosing is firmly attached with no movement or gaps. Check that all fixings are flush or slightly recessed. Clean away any installation debris and inspect the silicone carbide insert for proper alignment and condition.

Maintenance and Care Instructions

Routine Cleaning: Clean the aluminium surface and silicone carbide insert regularly using standard floor cleaning solutions and equipment. The non-porous materials resist dirt accumulation and maintain their appearance with minimal effort.

Periodic Inspection: Conduct quarterly visual inspections to verify that all fixings remain secure and the nosing profile shows no signs of damage or loosening. Address any issues promptly to maintain optimal safety performance.

Deep Cleaning: For heavily soiled installations, use a stiff brush with appropriate cleaning solution to restore the insert's grip characteristics. Avoid harsh chemicals that might damage the aluminium finish.

Damage Assessment: If physical damage occurs from impact or excessive wear, assess whether localised repair is possible or complete replacement is necessary. Never leave damaged nosing in place as it may create a trip hazard.

Longevity Tips: Whilst our heavy-duty nosing is built to last, protecting it from unnecessary impact, using appropriate cleaning methods, and addressing minor issues before they escalate will maximise your investment's lifespan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes silicone carbide superior to rubber inserts?

A: Silicone carbide is an industrial-grade abrasive material that maintains consistent slip resistance regardless of temperature, moisture, or contamination. Unlike rubber that degrades, hardens, or loses grip over time, silicone carbide delivers reliable performance for years without deterioration, making it the professional choice for high-traffic UK facilities.

Q: Can this nosing be installed on existing stairs without major renovation?

A: Absolutely. Our 68×33mm aluminium nosing is specifically designed for retrofit installation on existing staircases. The straightforward fixing method allows professional installation without disrupting building operations, making it perfect for occupied facilities across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

Q: How does this product help with UK building regulations compliance?

A: Our non-slip stair nosing supports compliance with UK health and safety requirements by providing enhanced slip resistance and visual contrast that helps prevent accidents. The high-contrast insert aids visibility for individuals with impaired vision, supporting accessibility obligations under the Equality Act.

Q: What is the expected lifespan in a high-traffic commercial environment?

A: With proper installation and routine maintenance, our heavy-duty aluminium nosing typically delivers 10-15 years of reliable service even in demanding high-traffic applications. The premium materials and robust construction ensure your safety investment provides long-term value.

Q: Is the aluminium finish suitable for outdoor or exposed locations?

A: Yes, the natural corrosion resistance of aluminium makes this nosing ideal for both indoor and covered outdoor applications throughout the UK. For fully exposed exterior locations subject to severe weather, we recommend consulting our technical team to ensure optimal specification for your specific environment.

Q: Can I install this myself or do I need a professional contractor?

A: Whilst competent DIY installers can successfully fit our nosing following the provided instructions, we recommend professional installation for commercial facilities, public buildings, or locations where safety certification may be required. Professional contractors ensure proper fixing selection, substrate preparation, and compliance documentation.

Q: How do I determine the correct quantity needed for my project?

A: Measure the width of each stair tread requiring nosing and sum the total linear metres needed. Add 10% for cutting waste and future repairs. Our team can assist with quantity calculations for larger projects across multiple locations in the United Kingdom.
