Installation: 

Our Range of Aluminium flat plate inserts are designed to be rebated into your step or floor surface. When installed onto a steps edge they are usually grouped in at least two or three strips per step to delineate the steps edge. They are designed for use in internal setting in dry environments where the direction of foot traffic should be perpendicular to the strips inserted.

  1. Remove material or pre-cast your rebate as required for your chosen insert profile, we recommend you obtain samples or your order prior to creating rebates as there can be some minor variation in size between batches. Ensure enough room is left to allow for adhesive, the strip should sit approximately 2mm above the surface of the step once installed.
  2. Ensure the rebates are clean and dry then apply a suitable adhesive, such as our Multitread Rapid Curing Adhesiveallowing enough to cover the base and up the sides of the insert without it overflowing to the surface once the strip is inserted.
  3. Firmly press your aluminium flat plate inserts into place, and apply downwards pressure with a roller to ensure full spread and transfer of the adhesive.
  4. Allow time for the adhesive to fully cure before opening to foot traffic.
