Stair

3 questions answered

Can changing floor coverings on stairs cause compliance issues?
Yes, even small changes in floor coverings can throw stair measurements out of tolerance. Replacing carpet with a timber overlay can cause compliance issues with the National Construction Code dimensional requirements. FSA Network floor sanders understand stair compliance requirements and ensure all work meets code.
Are stair nosing profiles important for safety?
Yes, stair nosing profiles are critical for safety and compliance, requiring purpose-built designs with non-slip inserts secured with both adhesive and mechanical fasteners. Even small changes in floor coverings can throw stair measurements out of tolerance. FSA Network floor sanders install compliant stair nosing profiles that meet all National Construction Code requirements.
How do I master the art of sanding stairs?
Sanding stairs requires specialised techniques different from flat floor sanding, with specific attention to nosings, risers, and tight spaces. ATFA provides how-to video content on mastering stair sanding techniques. FSA Network floor sanders have the specialised skills and equipment needed to achieve professional results on staircase sanding.
