Glueing metal stair nosing to wood

[jacoscar]

Hello, I've bought some aluminium nosing that I need to glue to my engineered wood to finish my stair makeover.
This is the nosing https://www.gradus.com/ar81r
The manufacturer reccomends Gradus grip https://www.gradus.com/gradus-grip which is 7.5£ per tube (I think I need 4) but also charge 25£ for delivery.
Does it sound like I could use something similar and readily evailable at SF or TS?

They mention misting the surfaces with water. That leads me to think that it is a polyurethane product (it uses the water as a catalyst).

Had I not see that, I might have recommended a MS polymer (eg CT1).

Other people sell their products, they may have cheaper delivery costs. eg

I'm surprised the recommend an adhesive - almost all the nosings I've fitted required a mechanical fixing (i.e. screws) as well as adhesive. I think a high quality D4 polyurethane would deliver similar results - but I'd have my doubts about using a polymer adhesive due to the possibility of it debonding over time

Fair play regarding MS polymers.

I had wondered if the OP could drill countersunk holes and then use 3mm screws but I can't tell if the anti slip insert can be lifted out.

These Noisings are designed for commercial installation to things like communal staircases and usually - bit not exclusively - are fitted to concrete floors. Traditional installation would be pre-drilled and plugged AND glued down but they can be ordered un-drilled.

Grip Fill and a heavy weight will glue to concrete but is a bit excessive for Engineered Wood, these will look ugly but a strong adhesive should do the trick.

A better option would for the OP to order the correct Stairs Nosing for Engineered floor - assuming the project is'nt too far past completion and that it could be incroporated into the installation, we would normally at least long pin the nosing into a wood subfloor for extra stability or, Grip Fill again should be ok as long as their is plenty of meat on the step to glue to.
