Professional Installation Guide

Tools & Materials Required:

Electric drill with masonry/wood bits (appropriate to substrate), screwdriver, tape measure, spirit level, pencil, appropriate fixings (screws and wall plugs for masonry, wood screws for timber), hacksaw or aluminium cutting tool, safety equipment (goggles, gloves).

Step-by-Step Installation Process:

Step 1: Surface Preparation
Ensure stair tread edge is clean, dry, and free from debris, loose material, or previous adhesives. Remove any existing nosing if replacing. The substrate must be structurally sound and level.

Step 2: Measure & Cut to Length
Measure the exact width of your stair tread. Cut the aluminium nosing to length using a hacksaw or aluminium cutting tool, ensuring clean, square cuts. Deburr cut edges with a file.

Step 3: Position & Mark Fixing Points
Position the nosing on the stair edge with the rakeback section sitting flush against the tread. Use a spirit level to ensure perfect alignment. Mark fixing hole positions through the pre-drilled holes onto the substrate.

Step 4: Drill Pilot Holes
Remove the nosing and drill pilot holes at marked positions. For masonry substrates, use appropriate masonry drill bit and insert wall plugs. For timber, drill pilot holes slightly smaller than screw diameter.

Step 5: Secure the Nosing
Reposition the aluminium nosing and insert fixings through pre-drilled holes. Tighten screws progressively from the centre outwards to ensure even pressure and prevent warping. Do not over-tighten.

Step 6: Final Inspection
Check that the nosing is securely fixed with no movement, sits flush with the tread surface, and the PVC insert is properly seated. Verify alignment across the full width.

Professional Tip: For optimal results on long runs, fix from the centre outwards to prevent bowing. On concrete substrates, consider using construction adhesive in addition to mechanical fixings for enhanced bond strength in high-traffic areas.

Maintenance & Care Instructions

Regular Cleaning: Clean with mild detergent and water using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or wire brushes that may damage the anodised finish. For healthcare environments, use approved disinfectants compatible with aluminium.

Periodic Inspection: Conduct quarterly visual inspections to check fixing security, PVC insert condition, and overall integrity. Tighten any loose fixings immediately to prevent further movement.

PVC Insert Care: The non-slip PVC insert requires no special treatment but should be kept free from debris build-up. Vacuum or brush regularly to maintain optimal slip resistance.

Damage Assessment: Inspect for impact damage, particularly in high-traffic areas. Minor surface scratches do not affect performance, but significant deformation or loose sections should be addressed promptly.

Longevity Tips: Avoid dragging heavy equipment directly over the nosing edge. Use protective mats during renovation work. The anodised finish provides excellent protection, but avoiding harsh chemical exposure extends service life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Is this aluminium stair nosing suitable for outdoor use?

A: This product is designed for internal and covered external applications. Whilst the anodised aluminium offers excellent corrosion resistance, we recommend our dedicated external-grade stair nosing for fully exposed outdoor environments subject to direct weather exposure across the UK.

Q2: What fixing centres are recommended for secure installation?

A: For standard commercial applications, fix at maximum 300mm centres. In heavy-duty or high-traffic environments such as hospitals or shopping centres, reduce fixing centres to 200mm for enhanced security and longevity.

Q3: Can this nosing be installed on existing stairs without major renovation?

A: Absolutely. The rakeback design allows retrofitting to existing staircases with minimal preparation. Simply ensure the tread edge is sound and level, then fix using the pre-drilled holes. No specialist tools or extensive renovation required.

Q4: How does this product meet DDA compliance requirements?

A: The high-contrast PVC insert provides the visual definition required under the Disability Discrimination Act and Building Regulations Approved Document M. The contrasting colour creates clear step edge identification essential for visually impaired users in UK public and commercial buildings.

Q5: What is the expected lifespan in a high-traffic commercial environment?

A: When correctly installed and maintained, this heavy-duty aluminium stair nosing typically delivers 20+ years of reliable service in demanding commercial environments including schools, hospitals, and office buildings across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

Q6: Can the PVC insert be replaced if it becomes worn?

A: The PVC insert is designed for long-term durability and typically outlasts the expected service life of the installation. However, in extreme high-traffic scenarios, the entire nosing unit can be replaced more cost-effectively than attempting insert replacement.

Q7: What substrates is this stair nosing compatible with?

A: This versatile aluminium nosing can be securely fixed to concrete, timber, plywood, chipboard, and metal substrates. Use appropriate fixings for each material type—masonry fixings with wall plugs for concrete, wood screws for timber, and self-tapping screws for metal.
