Latham Australia does not recommend the use of adhesive alone for the installation of stair tread nosings as the bond can not be guaranteed without mechanical fixings.
When using Latham Titazel Thixotropic 2 Part Epoxy Adhesive for fixing Asbraloy and Asbrabronz Stair Tread Nosings and Inserts to flat and level substrate, it may be possible to increase the distance between the screw fixing locations, the maximum span that should be considered in 1000mm.

Once this has been done proceed Basic Stair Tread Installation Details. *Insert Treads are considered not suitable for carpet installation by Latham Australia, although there is not a problem with Stair Treads, see the information below.
ST Series Treads can be installed over concrete, tile, pavers, stone, timber and other solid surfaces. After ensuring the surface is of good finish and even (if not refer to information on repairing damaged or worn surfaces) proceed to Basic Stair Tread Installation Details. When the Stair Tread* is being installed in conjunction with carpet, see reference to carpet and vinyl installations below.
SB Series Treads are designed to be installed on concrete or timber applications as a surface mounted profile, where vinyl or direct stick carpet is being installed. The 3mm straight edge combined with the 2mm x 45º bevel ensures a smooth transition from the floor finish to tread.
If levelling or packing is required, see the details under S Series Treads and Inserts. Once this has been done, proceed to instructions in Basic Stair Tread Installation Details.
ST Series Treads can be installed over carpet providing the carpet is firm and the substrate is good and a secure fixing can be made. Obviouslywhen a tread is being installed over carpet, adhesive can not be used. The following installation methods should be followed, although it is advisable to use a carpet punch to punch a hole through the carpet in the location where the hole is to be drilled, this will helpto ensure that the carpet is not pulled by the spinning drill. To carry out this installation it may be necessary to shave the carpet pile or to install continuous solid packers under the back edge of the tread. This style of installation generally can not be used on treads where carpethas underlay.
S Series Treads are designed to be installed into a preformed recess or on a packer in a carpet and underlay application, please see the attached detail; the timber packer should be securely fixed to the substrate.
