Installation Tips
- Measure Every Stair Individually
- Although many staircases have consistent dimensions, it's recommended to measure each step separately, especially in renovation projects.
- Include Landings if Required
- If stair nosing will also be installed on landings or platform edges, remember to include these measurements in your calculation.
- Add Extra Material
- Ordering an additional 5–10% is recommended to allow for cutting, installation adjustments, and unexpected waste.
- Verify Profile Width
- Different stair nosing profiles have different widths and fixing methods. Ensure the selected profile matches your stair design before ordering.
- Choose the Right Material
- For indoor projects, aluminum stair nosing is lightweight and economical. Stainless steel stair nosing offers greater durability for commercial buildings and high-traffic environments.
