Step 1 · Measure and Cut Aluminum Channels

Begin by measuring the width of the first stair nosing where the LED channel will be installed. Use a measuring tape and mark the desired cut length on the aluminum channel with a pencil. Repeat this for all stair nosings. Once marked, carefully cut each aluminum channel to size using a hacksaw or a metal-cutting saw. Ensure the cuts are straight and clean.
