Grooved Aluminium Edge for Wood and Carpet Stairs

This 900mm aluminium stair nosing is designed to provide a clean and defined finish around suitable wood and carpet stair edges. Its grooved profile gives the front of the step a more structured appearance while adding practical surface texture.

The aluminium construction offers a rigid yet relatively lightweight edge profile, making it suitable for modern staircase installations where a metal trim is preferred. It can be used to create a clearer transition between the stair surface and the front edge without introducing an oversized finish.

The product is supplied as a single 900mm length, so each stair should be measured before ordering to confirm suitable coverage.

38.5 x 19.5mm Profile for Defined Edge Coverage

The listed dimensions are approximately 38.5mm wide and 19.5mm high. These measurements should be compared carefully with the stair edge and flooring thickness before installation.

The supplied information also references a wide grooved 35 x 15mm stair profile. Because both measurements appear in the product details, checking the exact profile dimensions before fitting is recommended where precise sizing is important.

Correct measurement is especially useful when working with carpet or wood flooring, as the thickness and position of the floor covering can affect how neatly the nosing sits around the step.

Matt Grooved Finish for Modern Staircases

The aluminium profile has a matt finish that gives the stair edge a clean and understated appearance. Its grooved surface adds visible texture while maintaining a simple modern style suitable for a range of interiors.

This combination works well in hallways, landings and other staircase areas where a metal edge trim needs to complement rather than dominate the surrounding flooring.

The grooved profile can also make the stair nose more visually defined compared with a completely smooth aluminium strip, helping create a more deliberate finished edge across the staircase.

Supplied Fixing Screws for Straightforward Installation

Fixing screws are included with the stair nosing, helping simplify preparation before installation. The underlying stair material should still be checked carefully to ensure the supplied fixings are suitable for the intended surface.

Before fitting, the stair edge should be clean, stable and correctly measured. The floor covering should sit properly around the nose so the aluminium trim can be positioned evenly without unnecessary gaps.

Careful alignment across the full 900mm length helps create a cleaner result and keeps the profile consistent from one side of the step to the other.

Practical Placement and Simple Ongoing Care

This stair nosing can be used on suitable wood and carpet staircases where a modern aluminium edge finish is required. Its 900mm format makes it suitable for many standard stair widths, subject to accurate measurement before installation.

Routine maintenance is straightforward. Loose dirt and dust can be removed using a soft cloth or brush, while light surface marks can normally be wiped away with a slightly damp cloth.

Avoid harsh abrasives that could affect the matt finish. On frequently used stairs, periodically check the fixing screws and trim alignment to make sure the nosing remains secure and correctly positioned.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this stair nosing suitable for both wood and carpet?

Yes. The product is listed for use with both wood and carpet, making it suitable for compatible stair coverings. Check the flooring thickness and stair profile before installation to confirm a neat fit.

What is the length of this stair nosing?

The trim measures 900mm in length. This size can suit many standard stair widths, but each step should be measured before ordering to confirm the profile provides suitable coverage.

What are the profile dimensions?

The listed dimensions are approximately 38.5mm wide and 19.5mm high. The product information also references a wide grooved 35 x 15mm stair profile, so check the measurements before fitting.

Does this stair nosing have a grooved finish?

Yes. The profile is described as grooved, giving the aluminium surface added texture and visual definition. This creates a more clearly defined stair edge than a completely smooth metal trim.

Are fixing screws supplied with the trim?

Yes. Fixing screws are included with the stair nosing. Check the underlying stair material before installation to make sure the supplied screws are appropriate for the surface.

What type of finish does the aluminium have?

The stair nosing has a matt finish, giving the profile a clean and understated appearance. It can complement a range of carpet colours and wood flooring tones in modern interiors.

Is this stair nosing suitable for modern interiors?

How should the stair be prepared before fitting?

Make sure the stair edge is clean, stable and properly measured. The floor covering should sit correctly, and the profile should be aligned evenly before the fixing screws are secured.

Can the trim be cut if the stair is narrower than 900mm?

The supplied information does not specifically provide cutting instructions. If adjustment is required, use a suitable method for aluminium profiles and ensure the cut edge is smooth before installation.

How should the aluminium stair nosing be maintained?

Remove loose dust with a soft cloth or brush and wipe light marks with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, and periodically check that the fixing screws remain secure.
