Installation Guide

Surface Preparation
Ensure the areas that are to have Richco Aluminium Stair Nosings fitted are clean, dry and free from loose and friable material. Any dished or damaged surface areas should be patch repaired to provide a reasonably flat and consistent surface.

Dry fit all Aluminium Stair Nosings and ensure that they fit freely and that they sit flat to the surface. If required Richco Aluminium Stair Nosings can be trimmed onsite to suit using an industrial jigsaw and appropriate cutting blades.

Application
Drill the fixing locating holes in the Aluminium Stair Nosings.

Whilst mechanial fixings are all that is required to secure Richco Aluminium Stair Nosings, wherever possible, the application of an appropriate high strength gap filling adhesive will provide a secondary fixing in the event that the mechanical fixings should fail.
Apply a 6mm bead of high strength gap-filling adhesive around the periphery of the Aluminium Stair Nosing and in horizontal stripes at approximately 200mm centres. Immediately press the Aluminium Stair Nosing firmly to the substrate to ensure adequate transfer of adhesive. A firm bond will be achieved in about one hour under normal circumstances and conditions. Secure with the mechanical fixings and allow the adhesive sealant to cure before allowing excessive traffic to use the area.
