Technical Specifications

5 Key Benefits

• Superior Anti-Slip Performance — The surface features precisely engineered grooves and an ergonomic mechanical design that provides maximum grip under wet and dry conditions. Significantly reduces the risk of slips, trips, and falls on domestic and commercial stairs.
• Instant Self-Adhesive Installation — Pre-applied ultra-strong adhesive tape means installation takes seconds per step. Simply peel, position, and press. No drilling, no screws, no special tools or skills required.
• Widened & Thickened Profile — The generous 40mm width and robust 3.5mm thickness provide excellent edge protection, absorbing impact from foot traffic and preventing chip damage to step edges over time.
• Flexible & Easy to Cut — The flexible PVC material allows the nosing to conform slightly to curved or uneven step edges. Cut to any required length with ordinary scissors or a utility knife — no specialist equipment needed.
• Dual Colour Options — Available in Black and Grey to match a wide range of interior stair finishes. Discreet, professional appearance that enhances rather than detracts from your staircase aesthetic.

Applications & Where to Use

• Domestic Staircases — The primary application. Protect wooden, laminate, vinyl, tiled, or carpeted stairs in homes, bungalows, and flats.
• Commercial Premises — Offices, retail outlets, restaurants, hotels, and other commercial spaces where floor safety compliance is essential.
• Care Homes & Schools — Where the safety of elderly residents, children, or individuals with reduced mobility is paramount.
• Ramps & Inclines — Effective on external and internal ramps, entrance steps, and inclined walkways.
• Corner Protection — The L-shaped profile can double as an edge and corner protector on furniture, shelving, and storage units.
• External Steps — Suitable for external steps in garages, outbuildings, porches, and garden features (check specific adhesive performance in wet conditions).

Installation Step-by-Step

1. Clean the Surface — Thoroughly clean and dry the stair edge where the nosing will be applied. Remove any dust, grease, wax, or old adhesive. For best adhesion, wipe with isopropyl alcohol and allow to dry completely.
2. Measure & Cut — Measure the width of your step and cut the nosing to length using scissors or a sharp utility knife. The flexible PVC cuts cleanly and easily.
3. Peel the Backing — Remove the protective backing from the self-adhesive strip, starting from one end.
4. Position Carefully — Align the nosing with the front edge of the step. The L-shaped profile should hook over the edge, covering both the top surface and the vertical face of the step.
5. Press & Bond — Press firmly along the entire length, applying strong pressure for at least 30 seconds. Pay extra attention to the ends to prevent peeling over time.
6. Allow to Cure — For maximum bond strength, avoid heavy foot traffic for at least 24 hours after application. The adhesive bond strengthens significantly over the first 72 hours.
7. Flatten if Needed — The nosing may arrive slightly curved from the roll. Leave it in a warm room for 30–60 minutes before installation to relax the material and improve bonding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will the self-adhesive hold on carpet?

A: The self-adhesive backing bonds most effectively to smooth, hard surfaces (laminate, tile, vinyl, wood, concrete). On carpet, we recommend securing with additional contact adhesive or cable staples along the edges for a permanent installation.

Q: Can I remove and reposition it?

A: The adhesive is designed for permanent installation. While repositioning is possible immediately after application, once cured (after 24–72 hours) removal will be difficult and may require a heat gun or adhesive remover.

Q: Is it suitable for external outdoor steps?

A: It can be used on external steps, but adhesion may be reduced in prolonged wet conditions. For permanent outdoor installations, supplement with additional adhesive or mechanical fixing (staples or screws through the backing flange).

Q: What if my stairs are wider than 40mm?

A: This 40mm-wide nosing covers the step edge profile. For wider step surfaces requiring more grip coverage, combine with anti-slip tape on the main step surface alongside the nosing.

Q: Does it come as one continuous length or multiple pieces?

A: It comes as a single continuous roll of your chosen length (5m or 10m), which you cut to the required lengths for each step. This gives you the flexibility to use it on any number of steps of any width.
