Step 2 · Prepare Stair Nosing Surface

Before mounting the aluminum channels, thoroughly clean the surface of each stair nosing. Use a degreaser or rubbing alcohol applied to a clean cloth to wipe down the area where the channel will be installed. This removes any dust, grease, or old adhesive residue, ensuring a strong bond for the mounting adhesive.
