Professional Installation Guide

Pre-Installation Preparation

Ensure stair treads are clean, dry, and structurally sound before commencing installation. Remove existing nosing profiles if present, and repair any substrate damage. Verify that tread dimensions accommodate the profile depth without creating trip hazards. Gather required tools: drill with masonry bits, screwdriver, measuring tape, spirit level, pencil, and appropriate fixings for your substrate type.

Measuring and Cutting

Measure the exact width of each stair tread, accounting for any variations in older buildings. Mark cutting lines on the aluminium profile using a permanent marker. Cut to length using a fine-toothed hacksaw or powered metal cutting saw, ensuring clean, square cuts. Deburr cut edges with a file to maintain the professional finish.

Positioning and Marking

Position the profile flush with the stair edge, ensuring the round edge overhangs appropriately. Use a spirit level to verify horizontal alignment. Mark fixing hole positions through the pre-drilled holes onto the stair tread substrate. For concrete or masonry stairs, mark pilot hole positions carefully.

Drilling and Fixing

Drill pilot holes at marked positions using appropriate drill bits for your substrate—masonry bits for concrete, wood bits for timber treads. Insert wall plugs if fixing to masonry. Align the profile precisely and secure using corrosion-resistant screws, working from the centre outwards to prevent distortion. Tighten fixings progressively to achieve even pressure distribution.

Final Inspection

Verify that all fixings are secure and flush with the profile surface. Check that the anti-slip insert is properly seated and free from damage. Confirm that the round edge creates a smooth transition without gaps or protrusions. Clean the installed profile to remove installation debris and fingerprints.

Maintenance and Care Instructions

Regular Cleaning: Clean the aluminium surface and anti-slip insert monthly using warm water and neutral pH detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may damage the finish or reduce slip resistance. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.

Periodic Inspection: Conduct quarterly visual inspections to identify loose fixings, damaged inserts, or substrate deterioration. Address any issues promptly to maintain safety performance and prevent minor problems escalating.

Insert Replacement: Monitor the anti-slip insert for wear, particularly in high-traffic areas. Replace inserts when slip resistance diminishes or visual contrast fades, typically after 5-10 years depending on usage intensity.

Fixing Maintenance: Check fixing security annually, re-tightening any loose screws. In corrosive environments, inspect fixings for deterioration and replace with stainless steel alternatives if necessary.
