Finishing Thicker Flooring at the Stair Edge

This 0.9m stair nosing is designed for steps fitted with flooring measuring between 14mm and 16mm thick. It creates a defined transition where the flooring reaches the front of the step, helping the completed staircase look more consistent and properly finished.

The oak-design surface allows the profile to coordinate with many wood-effect floors, while the underlying aluminium construction provides a structured edge. It is suitable for renovation work as well as new flooring installations where a compatible stair profile is required.

Designed Around a 14–16mm Flooring Depth

Flooring thickness is one of the most important measurements when selecting a stair nosing. This profile is intended for finished flooring between 14mm and 16mm, making it more appropriate for thicker boards than profiles designed for standard 8mm or 10mm laminate.

The full installed depth should be checked before ordering. Flooring boards, attached backing, adhesive and underlay can all affect the final height at the edge of the step. Measuring the completed build-up helps confirm whether the flooring will sit correctly within the profile.

A profile that is too shallow may not accommodate the flooring properly, while an oversized profile can leave an untidy gap. Accurate measurement supports a cleaner transition and more consistent positioning across the staircase.

Oak Appearance with an Aluminium Core

The visible surface has an oak-style design intended to complement wood and wood-effect flooring. The trim itself is made from aluminium rather than timber, allowing it to retain a clearly formed shape around the stair edge.

This combination is useful where a plain metal finish would contrast too strongly with the surrounding flooring. The oak appearance creates a more coordinated result while the aluminium base maintains the modern, defined look of a manufactured stair profile.

Oak-effect flooring is available in many shades and grain patterns, so an exact colour match should not be assumed. Compare the profile with the installed flooring and surrounding interior before completing the installation.

Preparing the Step for Screw-Down Installation

The stair nosing is designed to be secured using a screw-down installation method. The step must provide a stable base for mechanical fixing, and the profile should sit flat against the flooring and stair edge before any holes are marked.

Dust, loose flooring, damaged material or uneven sections should be corrected before installation. Fixing the profile over an unstable surface may prevent it from sitting evenly and can affect the final appearance.

Place the nosing in its intended position and check the alignment from both ends of the step. Once the location has been confirmed, use fixings that are appropriate for the construction of the staircase. Fixings are not listed as included in the supplied product information.

Measuring and Adjusting the 0.9m Profile

The supplied profile measures 0.9m, or 900mm, in length. Each stair should be measured individually because widths may vary slightly across the same staircase, particularly in older properties or renovated interiors.

Where the profile needs to be shortened, it should be marked carefully and cut using equipment suitable for aluminium. Protect the oak-design surface during cutting and smooth any sharp or uneven edges before fitting.

Dry fitting the profile before drilling allows the length, flooring depth and alignment to be checked together. This reduces the risk of positioning the nosing too far forward or leaving an inconsistent gap along the step.

Where This Stair Nosing Can Be Used

The profile is suitable for indoor steps and staircases fitted with compatible 14mm to 16mm flooring. Its modern oak appearance makes it particularly relevant for hallways, landings and residential staircase projects where wood-effect flooring continues towards the steps.

One stair nosing is supplied in each pack. A separate profile will normally be needed for every stair edge, so the total quantity should be calculated according to the number of steps being completed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What flooring thickness is this stair nosing designed for?

The profile is intended for flooring between 14mm and 16mm thick. Measure the complete fitted flooring depth before ordering because attached backing, underlay or adhesive may increase the final height at the stair edge.

Is the stair nosing made from oak wood?

No. The stair nosing is manufactured from aluminium and has an oak-design finish. It provides the appearance of a wood-effect profile while retaining the formed structure of an aluminium stair-edge trim.

How long is the profile?

The profile measures 0.9m, which is equivalent to 900mm. Measure each step before purchase because staircase widths are not always identical, even when the steps appear to have the same dimensions.

How is the stair nosing installed?

It uses a screw-down installation method. The profile should be positioned on a stable, level stair edge before the fixing points are marked. Suitable fixings should be selected according to the material and construction of the staircase.

Are installation screws supplied?

The supplied information does not confirm that screws are included. Suitable fixings may therefore need to be purchased separately based on whether the underlying step is made from timber, concrete or another material.

Can the aluminium nosing be cut to a shorter length?

Yes, the profile can be shortened using equipment suitable for cutting aluminium. Measure and mark the required length carefully, protect the decorative surface and smooth the cut edge before installation.

Will the oak finish match all wood-effect floors?

An exact match cannot be guaranteed because flooring manufacturers use different oak shades, textures and grain patterns. The profile should be compared with the installed flooring before it is permanently secured.

How many pieces are included in one pack?

One 0.9m stair nosing is included. Most staircase installations require one profile for each step, so count the stair edges that need finishing before calculating the total quantity required.
