A Longer Profile for Wider Staircases and Multiple Cuts

This 2m anodised aluminium stair nosing is designed to create a defined finish around the leading edge of a stair tread. Its extended length makes it suitable for wider steps or projects where a longer profile can be measured and cut into the required sections.

The champagne-coloured aluminium is paired with two black rubber inserts, producing a noticeable contrast across the top of the profile. This combination can coordinate with a range of neutral, wood-effect and darker staircase finishes without relying on the appearance of standard silver aluminium.

Before ordering, the full width of each step should be measured carefully. The 2m length may cover one particularly wide application or be divided into smaller sections, depending on the staircase layout and the accuracy of the cuts.

Champagne Aluminium with Dual Black Inserts

The anodised aluminium construction provides a rigid profile around the front of the step while presenting a finished champagne surface. Anodising forms part of the aluminium finish rather than acting like a separate decorative layer applied over the top.

Two black rubber inserts run along the horizontal section of the stair nosing. They provide contrasting contact areas and add definition to the front of the tread. The supplied information does not state a tested slip-resistance rating, so the inserts should not be treated as a guarantee against slipping in every condition.

The contrast between the champagne profile and black rubber can also make the stair edge easier to distinguish visually. Final visibility will depend on the surrounding flooring, lighting conditions and colour of the staircase.

Understanding the 35 x 19.5mm Profile

The horizontal section of the nosing measures 35mm, while the vertical section measures 19.5mm. These dimensions determine how much of the top and front of the stair edge will be covered after installation.

The profile should be compared with the tread depth, riser position and any existing flooring before purchase. A nosing that does not match the completed stair-edge dimensions may sit unevenly, leave part of the edge exposed or create an unwanted projection.

Measurements should be taken at several points rather than from a single step. Staircases, particularly older ones, may contain small differences in width or edge alignment that affect cutting and positioning.

Measuring and Cutting the 2m Length

A 2m stair nosing provides flexibility where multiple shorter sections are needed, but accurate planning is important before the first cut is made. Each required section should be measured individually and marked clearly on the aluminium.

Suitable equipment for cutting anodised aluminium should be used to create a controlled, straight edge. After cutting, the exposed end should be checked and smoothed so that no burrs or sharp sections remain.

The rubber inserts may also need to be trimmed to the finished length. They should sit evenly inside their channels without extending beyond the aluminium or pulling back from the cut edge.

The supplier information does not confirm that screws, plugs, adhesive or end caps are included. Required installation components should therefore be checked separately before fitting begins.

Preparing the Stair Edge Before Installation

The supporting stair surface should be stable, clean and level. Loose material, raised fixings or damaged sections can prevent the aluminium profile from sitting evenly against the tread and riser.

This nosing may help cover minor cosmetic imperfections within the area beneath the profile, but it should not be used to conceal structural damage. Cracked, loose or unstable stair edges need to be repaired before a finishing profile is installed.

The correct fixing method depends on whether the staircase is timber, concrete, laminate-covered or constructed from another material. As no fixing system is specified in the supplied details, compatible installation guidance should be obtained for the actual substrate.

Cleaning the Aluminium and Rubber Surfaces

Routine cleaning can help prevent dust and debris from collecting around the rubber inserts. A soft cloth, brush or suitable vacuum attachment can be used for regular maintenance.

A mild cleaning solution may be used when necessary, but abrasive pads and harsh chemicals should be avoided. Aggressive cleaning products may alter the appearance of the anodised champagne finish or affect the condition of the rubber.

The inserts should be checked periodically to ensure that they remain correctly positioned within their channels. Any movement, lifting or damage should be addressed before the stair continues to receive regular foot traffic.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the dimensions of this stair nosing?

The profile measures 2000mm in overall length, with a 35mm horizontal section and a 19.5mm vertical section. The dimensions should be checked against the finished tread and riser before purchase. Flooring thickness, underlay and existing edge coverings may all affect how the profile sits after installation.

Can the 2m profile be cut into two smaller pieces?

The aluminium may be cut into shorter sections using equipment suitable for anodised aluminium. Each stair should be measured separately before cutting because widths can vary. The cut ends should be smoothed carefully, and the two rubber inserts should also be trimmed accurately to match the finished aluminium sections.

Are screws and plugs included with this product?

The supplied item details do not confirm that screws, plugs, adhesive or other fixing accessories are included. Required components should therefore be checked before installation. The correct fixing system will also depend on whether the supporting staircase is timber, concrete or covered with another flooring material.

Do the dual rubber inserts make the nosing slip-resistant?

The two rubber inserts provide additional contact areas across the top of the profile, but no independently tested slip-resistance classification is provided in the supplied information. Their performance may be affected by moisture, dirt, footwear and installation quality, so normal staircase safety and maintenance remain important.

Is this profile suitable for a wooden staircase?

It may be used on a wooden staircase when the 35 x 19.5mm dimensions match the step and an appropriate fixing method is selected. The timber must be stable enough to hold the profile securely. Loose boards, damaged edges and uneven surfaces should be repaired before the nosing is measured and installed.

Can it be fitted over laminate or other floor coverings?

The profile may be considered for covered stairs when its dimensions are compatible with the total finished height of the flooring. Laminate, LVT, carpet and other coverings vary in thickness, so suitability should be confirmed through measurement rather than assumed. The edge should sit evenly without creating a raised or unstable transition.

Will the champagne finish match every staircase?

Champagne aluminium provides a warmer appearance than standard silver, but an exact match with existing flooring, trims or metalwork cannot be guaranteed. Lighting and surrounding colours may change how the finish appears. Comparing the product with the intended interior is advisable where precise colour coordination is important.

How should the stair nosing be maintained?

Dust and loose grit should be removed regularly from both the aluminium and rubber sections. A soft cloth and mild cleaning solution can be used for deeper cleaning. Abrasive pads, strong solvents and harsh chemicals should be avoided because they may mark the anodised surface or affect the rubber inserts.
