Merbau LD4 Laminate Stair Nosing (NEW)

Merbau Stair Nosing 

The Merbau Stair Nosing sits across the front edge of each stair tread, protecting it from wear. It gives each step a clean, defined finish and is part of the LD4 Laminate Range from All-In-All. Made from MDF with a laminated top layer, it carries a deep reddish-brown mahogany tone with wood grain detail. In particular, this rich colour sits well alongside darker laminate and wood-effect floors throughout the home.

At 54mm wide and 16mm deep, it covers the tread edge fully without creating a lip that catches underfoot. Each bar is 1.2m in length, cutting down to the width of each tread with a clean edge. The laminated surface is hardwearing and holds up well underfoot on a busy staircase.

Where to Use the Merbau Stair Nosing

The Merbau Stair Nosing is the right choice wherever laminate flooring runs up a flight of stairs. It prevents the floor from lifting at the nosing point and reduces wear at each tread. As well as protecting the tread from wear, it also covers the raw exposed edge left by the laminate. Overall, it removes the ugly unfinished edge and gives the staircase a professional finish.

However, the stair nosing is not always the right choice at a laminate-to-carpet transition on stairs. In this situation, both surfaces can end up with a nosing, creating an awkward double nosing effect. The Merbau LD4 Laminate Ramp Bar is often the better option here. It ramps smoothly from the laminate down to meet the carpet, handling the height difference without creating a second nosing profile. For matching beading, the Cherry LD32 Laminate Scotia Beading is the closest colour in the beading range.

Fitting the Laminate Stair Nosing

Apply strong bonding adhesive to the back of the nosing and the top of the tread. Press it firmly into position and hold for a moment to let the adhesive grip. Once in place, pin through the nosing into the tread using a pin gun to lock it down fully.

Cut to the width of each tread using a chopsaw, jigsaw, or handsaw. Additionally, score the laminate surface lightly before the full cut to reduce the chance of chipping at the edge.

Lengths and Colour Matching

The LD4 colour code runs across the full All-In-All laminate accessory range. As a result, the nosing, door bars, and beading can all match through the same installation.
