Professional Installation Guide

Step 1: Surface Preparation
Clean stair edges thoroughly, removing dirt, grease, and loose material. Ensure surfaces are dry and structurally sound. For concrete stairs, repair any spalling or damage before installation.

Step 2: Measurement & Cutting
Measure stair tread width accurately. Cut nosing profile to length using a fine-toothed hacksaw or mitre saw with aluminium-cutting blade. Deburr cut edges with a file for professional finish.

Step 3: Positioning
Position nosing flush with stair edge, ensuring the glow-in-the-dark insert faces outward for maximum visibility. Mark fixing hole positions through pre-drilled countersunk holes.

Step 4: Drilling
Drill pilot holes using appropriate bit for substrate material (masonry bit for concrete, wood bit for timber). Ensure hole depth accommodates fixing length plus nosing thickness.

Step 5: Fixing
Secure nosing using appropriate fixings (concrete anchors, wood screws, or metal fasteners). Tighten fixings progressively to ensure even pressure and flush fit. Countersunk screws should sit below nosing surface.

Step 6: Final Inspection
Verify nosing is securely fixed with no movement. Check that profile sits flush without creating trip hazards. Test anti-slip surface and confirm glow-in-the-dark insert is properly positioned.

Professional Tip: For external installations in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, apply silicone sealant along the rear edge to prevent water ingress behind the profile.

Maintenance & Care Instructions

Regular Cleaning: Clean nosing surfaces weekly using neutral pH detergent and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may damage the anti-slip texture or photoluminescent insert. A soft brush removes debris from textured surfaces effectively.

Glow Performance: The photoluminescent insert requires regular light exposure to maintain optimal glow performance. In areas with limited natural light, ensure adequate artificial lighting during occupied hours. The insert charges in minutes and glows for hours.

Inspection Schedule: Conduct quarterly inspections to verify fixings remain secure and nosing profile shows no signs of damage or loosening. Check that anti-slip surface maintains effectiveness and glow-in-the-dark insert remains intact.

Damage Response: Address any damage immediately to maintain safety standards. Loose fixings should be tightened or replaced. Damaged sections can be replaced individually without removing entire staircase nosings.

Winter Maintenance: For external installations across the UK, remove ice and snow buildup promptly. The anti-slip surface provides excellent grip, but accumulated ice should be cleared using plastic scrapers to avoid damaging the profile.

Long-Term Care: The aluminium construction requires no painting or sealing. The photoluminescent material maintains performance for years without degradation. This minimal maintenance requirement reduces lifecycle costs significantly.
