It provides a more complete transition where wood, carpet, or another floor covering meets the step edge, helping the staircase look properly finished rather than leaving the flooring material visibly exposed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 900mm length is suitable for many standard domestic stair widths, although each tread should be measured individually before ordering or cutting. Staircases can vary between properties, and older installations may contain small differences from one step to another. Accurate measurements help avoid unwanted gaps and ensure the profile can be positioned evenly across the tread.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAluminium Construction with a Grooved Rubber Insert\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe main profile is manufactured from aluminium and finished with a modern matt surface. Aluminium provides a firm edging structure without creating the visual weight of a thick solid trim, making it suitable for staircases where a clean, contemporary appearance is preferred.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA black grooved rubber insert runs along the walking surface of the profile. This insert is intended to improve traction at the front of the step, where footwear naturally makes contact during ascent and descent. It should still be kept clean and correctly secured, as dust, grease, moisture, or poor installation can reduce the effectiveness of any anti-slip surface.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChecking the Profile Against the Existing Step\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe item specifications list an overall width of approximately 38.5mm and a height of approximately 19.5mm. These dimensions should be compared with the completed stair edge, including any carpet, underlay, laminate, wood, or other covering already installed. A suitable dimensional match allows the trim to sit naturally against the tread without leaving an excessive gap or interfering with foot placement.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe supplier’s model wording also refers to a 35 x 19mm profile, which differs slightly from the separately listed measurements. Where a precise fit is essential, the selected product variation or physical profile should be checked before drilling. This is particularly important when the nosing must align with closely fitted flooring or an existing staircase detail.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eConcealed Screw Fixings for a Cleaner Installation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFixing screws are supplied with the profile, allowing it to be mechanically secured rather than relying solely on adhesive. The concealed fixing design allows the screw positions to be covered by the rubber insert after installation, producing a cleaner finished appearance while keeping the main aluminium section firmly attached to the stair.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBefore fitting, the trim should be placed in position without drilling so its alignment can be checked. The stair edge must be stable, level, and capable of holding the selected fixings. Suitable pilot holes may be required depending on the underlying material. Screws should be tightened evenly without excessive force, as overtightening may distort the aluminium profile or damage the stair tread.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMatching the Trim to Wood, Carpet and Other Flooring\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe product is listed as suitable for different flooring types, including wood and carpet, but compatibility still depends on the condition and thickness of the finished surface. On wooden stairs, the edge should be solid and free from splits, movement, polish, or loose coatings. Any damaged timber should be repaired before the nosing is installed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor carpeted steps, the carpet and underlay must be firmly secured so the trim does not compress an unstable or folded edge. Thick, loose, or heavily cushioned carpet may prevent the profile from sitting evenly. The stair nosing should be treated as an edging and traction component rather than a method for repairing loose flooring or correcting structural problems in the staircase.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIs this aluminium stair nosing suitable for carpeted stairs?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt can be used with carpeted stairs when the carpet edge is firmly secured and the profile dimensions suit the finished tread. Thick, loose, folded, or heavily cushioned carpet may prevent the trim from sitting evenly. Measure the completed stair edge, including the carpet and underlay, before drilling or cutting the nosing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCan the stair edging be fitted to wooden steps?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYes, wooden steps are one of the intended applications, provided the tread edge is sound, level, and capable of holding the supplied screws. Loose boards, split timber, or damaged edges should be repaired before installation. Check for hidden wiring or pipework and select a suitable drilling method for the specific stair construction.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow is the concealed fixing system installed?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe aluminium profile is secured with the supplied screws, while the rubber insert is positioned to cover the fixing points and create a cleaner finished appearance. Mark and test the alignment before drilling, use suitable pilot holes where required, and avoid overtightening because excessive force may distort the aluminium or damage the step.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDoes the rubber insert make the stair edge completely slip-proof?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe grooved rubber insert is intended to improve traction at the front of the tread, but no stair edging can remove every slipping risk. Performance still depends on correct installation, clean footwear, lighting, moisture, and the condition of the staircase. Keep the insert free from dust, grease, and loose debris to preserve its intended surface grip.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat are the exact dimensions of this stair nosing?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe item specifications list a length of 900mm, a width of 38.5mm, and a height of 19.5mm. However, the supplier’s model wording also refers to a 35 x 19mm profile. Because these measurements are not identical, check the selected listing variation or physical profile before fitting where a precise dimensional match is essential.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAre the fixing screws included with the trim?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYes, the supplied product details state that fixing screws are included and that one stair nosing profile is provided in the pack. The suitability of those screws can still depend on whether the stair is timber, masonry, composite, or another material. Use compatible plugs or alternative fixings only when required by the underlying construction.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCan the 900mm aluminium profile be cut to size?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAluminium profiles can commonly be shortened with suitable tools, but the supplier information does not provide a specific cutting method for this product.
