Schlüter-VINPRO-STEP and Schlüter-VINPRO-STEP-R are special stair nosing profiles made of anodised aluminium for the safe and visually appealing design of stairs with resilient coverings (e.g. LVT flooring). The profiles provide reliable edge protection for resilient coverings and significantly enhance user safety by making stair steps clearly visible.

The stair finishing profile VINPRO-STEP has a 7 mm vertical anchoring leg and a 6 mm or 10 mm horizontal anchoring leg to conceal adjoining coverings. The horizontal 6 mm anchoring leg also features a special anti-slip textured footer.

Attachment with screws

1. Select VINPRO-STEP according to the thickness of the covering.
2. Transfer the positions of the drilling holes to the substrate at the edges of the covering and drill holes with a diameter of 5 mm for the screw fixings.
3. Attach the profile to the step with counter-sunk screws, Ø 3.5 mm.
4. Follow the manufacturer’s specifications for installing the covering.

Attachment with installation adhesive

1. Select VINPRO-STEP according to the thickness of the covering.
2. Adhere the profile with the installation adhesive Schlüter-KERDI-FIX or an equivalent material at the edges of the covering. This installation method is especially suitable for areas where the profile cannot be screwed into the floor.
3. Follow the manufacturer’s specifications for installing the covering.
   Note: The substrate must be load-bearing and free from debris.

Schlüter-VINPRO-STEP is available in the following materials:

• ACGB = brushed chrome anodised aluminium
• ATGB = brushed titanium anodised aluminium (colour may differ from other Schlüter profiles in ATGB finish)
• ABGB = brushed antique bronze anodised aluminium

Material properties and areas of application

In special cases, the suitability of the profile must be verified, based on the anticipated chemical or mechanical stresses.

The information provided below is intended as a general guideline.

Anodised aluminium: The aluminium features an anodised finish that may be damaged by aggressive substances or abrasive stresses. Damage to the anodised surface can be restored with paint.
