This self-adhesive stair nosing profile from Genesis is installed on an existing step. Thanks to the self-adhesive strip, mechanical fastening is not required. The different heights make it suitable for vinyl, ceramic, and laminate. This version is 10 mm high. The finish is matte brass.
Product & function
The profile is extruded from AA 6063 T6 aluminium and anodised according to DIN 17611. For outdoor use, the manufacturer recommends a powder-coated finish.
Application & compatibility
The profile is intended for existing stair treads in vinyl, ceramic, or laminate and is installed on an existing floor or step. Choose the version with the width and height that suit the transition. We do not supply corner pieces for this series. Cut the corner at a 45-degree miter; using a miter box will help you maintain a controlled angle.
Use & points to consider
- Clean the substrate thoroughly. Dirt and grease prevent the adhesive strip from bonding.
- The adhesive strip only bonds to a smooth, hard, and dry substrate.
- Determine the position, remove the protective film, and press the profile firmly into place along its entire length.
Aluminium is sensitive to alkalis. Cement-based materials become alkaline when combined with moisture, so remove adhesive and grout residues from visible surfaces and ensure the profile is fully embedded. In the event of chemical or mechanical stress, check first whether aluminium is suitable for the situation. No special maintenance is required. An oxide film can be removed with a standard polishing agent, but it will return. Damaged anodising can only be repaired by re-coating.

Frequently asked questions
Which profile thickness do I need? The thickness of the profile matches the thickness of your tile. Measure the tile and choose the version that fits; the profile must not protrude above the tile surface.
Can this profile withstand moisture? Aluminium is resistant to normal moisture exposure in bathrooms and kitchens. However, be aware of fresh cement and grout residues: they become alkaline when combined with moisture and can damage the surface. Wipe them away before they have hardened.
What does the adhesive strip bond to? The strip only bonds to a smooth, hard, and dry substrate. Clean the surface thoroughly first; dirt and grease prevent adhesion.
Can I cut this profile to size? Yes. Cut the profile with a fine-toothed saw and neatly finish the cut edge.
