Compact A37 Profile for Carpet and Wood Stairs

This A37 aluminium stair nosing provides a neat and practical finish for suitable carpeted and wooden stair edges. Measuring 900mm long with a 35 x 20mm profile, it creates a defined transition around the front of the step without introducing an unnecessarily bulky edge.

The aluminium construction provides a firm yet lightweight profile suitable for modern staircase installations. Its non-slip design makes it particularly useful where a clearly finished stair nose is required alongside carpet or wood flooring.

With a matt surface and modern styling, the trim can complement a wide range of interior floor finishes while adding a structured metal edge to each step.

35 x 20mm Coverage with a 2mm Aluminium Build

The stair nosing measures 35mm wide and 20mm deep, with an aluminium thickness of approximately 2mm. These dimensions should be checked against the intended staircase before installation, particularly when working with thicker carpet or different wood flooring profiles.

Its 900mm length suits many standard stair widths and can provide consistent coverage across individual steps. Measuring the full stair width beforehand helps determine whether the trim can be fitted directly or requires adjustment.

The compact dimensions make it a practical choice where a slim stair-edge profile is preferred over a larger commercial-style nosing.

Flexible Fixing Options for Different Stair Surfaces

The supplied product information lists screw fixing, glue-down and nail-down installation methods. This provides flexibility when matching the nosing to different stair bases and flooring arrangements.

The most appropriate fixing method should always be selected according to the underlying stair material. A clean, stable and level surface helps the aluminium profile sit correctly along the stair edge and reduces the likelihood of movement after fitting.

The product is also listed as suitable for installation over different subfloors, although the compatibility of the chosen adhesive, screws or nails should still be checked before installation begins.

Hard-Wearing Features for Everyday Stair Areas

This stair nosing is described as hard-wearing, moisture resistant, mould resistant, frost resistant and noise resistant. These characteristics make it suitable for a broader range of environments than a purely decorative stair-edge trim.

An AC4 commercial medium traffic rating is also listed, indicating suitability for relevant areas with regular foot traffic when the complete staircase installation meets the required conditions.

The trim can be considered for bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, conservatories, basements and mudrooms. Environmental conditions and the surrounding flooring should still be taken into account when choosing the final installation location.

Straightforward Care for the Matt Aluminium Finish

The matt aluminium surface is simple to maintain during normal use. Loose dirt and dust can be removed with a soft brush or cloth, while occasional marks can be wiped away with a slightly damp cloth.

Avoid abrasive cleaning pads or aggressive chemicals that could mark the matt finish. In moisture-prone areas, keeping the surrounding stair surface clean and dry where possible can also help maintain the overall installation.

Frequently used stair edges should be inspected periodically to ensure the nosing remains securely fixed. Any movement around screws, adhesive or nails should be addressed before it affects the positioning of the profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
