Installation Guide
Adhesive or Tape Installation
- Measure the width of the stair carefully.
- Mark the required length on the 1.18m PVC profile.
- Cut the nosing neatly to size using a suitable cutting tool.
- Allow the profile to reach normal room temperature before fitting.
- If the PVC is cold or stiff, gently warm it as appropriate to improve flexibility.
- Make sure the stair surface is sound, level, clean and dry.
- Remove dust, grease, dirt and loose material.
- Test-position the profile over the stair edge before applying adhesive.
-
Apply a suitable adhesive or adhesive tape to the upper section of the profile only.
- Do not bond the lower vertical section, as the supplied installation guidance requires it to remain flexible.
- Position the profile accurately over the stair edge.
- Press the upper section firmly against the tread to achieve good contact.
- Check that the bullnose section sits neatly around the stair edge.
- Allow the adhesive to set fully according to the adhesive manufacturer's instructions before using the staircase.
The adhesive or tape should be compatible with both the PVC profile and the stair substrate. Porous, uneven or contaminated surfaces may require additional preparation.
