FAQs

Can I use this with flooring other than 15mm?

This nosing is specifically designed with a lip for 15mm flooring. Using it with significantly thinner or thicker flooring will result in an uneven transition.

Do I need to sand the oak before finishing?

Yes, although it is milled, a light sand with fine-grit sandpaper is recommended to remove any surface debris and ensure the stain or oil absorbs evenly.

Is this product suitable for outdoor use?

No, this is a solid oak product intended for interior staircase use only.

What is the length of the product?

The product is 0.9 meters (90 cm) long.

Does it come with mounting screws?

No, fixings are not included. We recommend using a high-quality wood adhesive suitable for stair treads.

Why is there a grain variation in my piece?

As this is a natural solid oak product, grain and color variations are a standard characteristic of genuine timber.

Troubleshooting

Nosing appears uneven on the step

Check if the sub-tread is level. If not, use wood shims to create a stable base before applying adhesive.

The finish looks patchy after staining

Ensure the oak surface was sanded thoroughly with fine-grit sandpaper (240 grit) to open the pores before applying the first coat of stain.

Visible gaps between flooring and nosing

Ensure the flooring is cut squarely and fits snugly into the lipped groove; if gaps persist, use a color-matched wood filler.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, durable solid oak material
  • Tailored for standard 15mm flooring thicknesses
  • Supplied unfinished for maximum finish customization
  • Beautiful natural wood grain adds architectural value
  • Easy to integrate into existing staircase renovations

Cons

  • Requires finishing (staining/oiling) before installation
  • Natural wood grain variation means each piece looks unique
  • Standard 0.9m length may require joining for very wide stairs

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed using high-quality wood adhesive or secret nailing into the stair sub-tread. Before installation, it is highly recommended to apply your chosen protective finish—such as a hard-wax oil or lacquer—to all sides of the nosing to prevent moisture absorption and warping. For maintenance, treat the oak as you would any hardwood floor: clean with a soft, dry cloth or a slightly damp mop using wood-friendly cleaners. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive water, which can penetrate the wood grain and cause damage. Regularly check the attachment points to ensure the nosing remains firmly fixed to the step as the building settles over time.
