Installation Steps1. Measure the tread width. Cut A50 to length using a metal saw or angle grinder if required.
2. Clean the stair tread edge surface.
3. Position A50 flush with the leading edge of the tread.
4. Mark fixing positions through the pre-drilled countersunk holes (200mm spacing recommended for standard commercial use; 150mm for heavy-traffic stairs).
5. Drill pilot holes appropriate for your substrate.
6. Fix with countersunk screws. Use stainless steel screws for outdoor or high-humidity applications.
7. Check that the nosing is flush and level along its full length.
FAQQ: What is the difference between the A50 and D50?
A: The A50 is a full aluminium profile with machined anti-slip grooves — no PVC insert. The D50 has an aluminium base with a clip-in PVC anti-slip insert in contrasting colours. The A50 is chosen where a clean all-metal finish is specified, or where the PVC insert is likely to be damaged by mechanical impact or industrial cleaning. The D50 provides a more visible colour-contrasting step edge and has a replaceable insert for low-cost maintenance.
Q: Is A50 compatible with chemical cleaning agents?
A: Yes. The anodized aluminium surface of the A50 is resistant to most hospital-grade and commercial cleaning agents. It is compatible with standard floor disinfectants, neutral cleaners and most industrial cleaning solutions. Avoid prolonged contact with strongly alkaline cleaners, which can affect anodized finishes over time.
Q: Can A50 be used on external outdoor stairs?
A: Yes. Use the powder-coated finish option for maximum weather resistance, and stainless steel fixing screws for outdoor installations.
