Solid wood stair nosings protecting the front edge of each tread, sized to match specific floor thicknesses, in unfinished, lacquered and oiled options from Tradition, Kährs and Xylo.
Getting the size right matters more than the finish — a nosing sized for the wrong floor thickness won't sit flush.
Sized to Your Floor Thickness
Tradition's solid oak nosings are sized specifically "for 10mm floors," "for 15mm floors," and "for 20mm floors" — the nosing needs to match your flooring's actual thickness to sit level with the finished floor, so it's worth checking this before ordering rather than going by length or finish alone. A Universal solid oak nosing is also available, offered across unfinished, lacquered and oiled options in one product line.
Unfinished, Lacquered or Oiled
Most of the Tradition range is supplied unfinished, letting you stain and finish it to match your exact floor colour — a more reliable route than relying on a close pre-made match. Lacquered and oiled versions are also available for specific thicknesses, useful where the floor's finish is already known and a matching pre-finished nosing saves a step.
Kährs Woodloc: Click-Compatible Nosings
Kährs' nosings are built specifically to click directly into 15mm Kährs Woodloc flooring, spanning species including walnut, beech, cherry, hard maple, oak and ash, in satin or matt lacquered finishes — or oiled, for pairing with Kährs Woodloc Artisan flooring specifically. These are tied to the Woodloc click system rather than being a universal fit, so they're only suitable alongside matching Kährs flooring.
Xylo Matching: For Xylo Click Engineered Flooring
Xylo's matching stair nosing is built for Xylo Click Engineered Flooring specifically, available in colours including Oak, Walnut Dark, Smoked Oak, White Limed, Grey Stained Oak and Honey Rose, or unfinished. It comes in both click and tongue-and-groove formats depending on length, and — like other brand-matched special order items — it's non-refundable, so it's worth confirming the exact colour and format needed before ordering.
Common Questions About Stair Nosings
How do I know which floor-thickness nosing I need?
Check your flooring's actual thickness (commonly 10mm, 15mm or 20mm) and match it to the corresponding nosing — using the wrong thickness means the nosing won't sit flush with the finished floor.
Can I use a Kährs Woodloc nosing with a different flooring brand?
No — it's built specifically to click into 15mm Kährs Woodloc flooring and isn't a universal fit for other click systems.
Should I choose unfinished or pre-finished stair nosing?
Unfinished lets you match the nosing exactly to your floor's finished colour. Pre-finished (lacquered or oiled) saves a step if the finish already matches what you need.
Is Xylo's matching stair nosing refundable if I order the wrong colour?
No — it's a special order item and non-refundable, so confirming the correct colour and format before ordering is worth the extra care.
