Can I Use a Metal Edge on Stairs?
Updated: 15.07.2026
✓
Yes, if it is compatible with the assembly and properly installed without sharp transitions.
Detailed answer
A metal edge can be used on stairs if it is securely fixed and concealed within the structure without sharp transitions. On stairs, mechanical edge protection makes more sense than relying solely on the microcement. The most common profiles used are galvanised or stainless steel. We recommend a galvanised angle, or alternatively stainless steel.
Common mistakes
- covering active cracks without repair
- unreinforced or poorly protected edges
- loading too soon after application
