Laminate & Stairnose DIY Installation | Select Surfaces

[@michaelmondragon4487]

Too many professionals on here just because they look at all the KZbin videos. You did a great job on your stairs. Thanks for the video.

I'm the stair king in my county. Start at the bottom and work up the riser should sit on the tread. I don't use any nail either. Sika pro adhesive, and a commercial flooring hot melt gun . Never use that worthless track it comes with. Also use a stair stencil to get risers and treads to fit perfect. Very little caulk need. Nothing to hide. The hot glue will avoid you using tape that doesn't hold the entire lip of the nosing flush. Not criticizing your work. Job looks good. Just throwing out some elite knowledge. I've installed stairs for 21 yrs. Also depending on the product you will need to add a bead of adhesive directly behind the nosing otherwise you will have squeaks everytime you Walk up and down the steps. There isn't any need for expansion on stairs. Only the landing

Stair king, at 60 w/ 45 yrs in, 1/2 of that comment is BS. the industry has obviously taught you some bad habits and some that are just not true. starting from the bottom, risers go first and glue and screws (in the old days, box nails) from the back into the rear of the tread is correct. It put the joint straight down instead of straight in, which at some point will be at eye level. thats #1.

[@brodavidmandy]

hey do you have any videos to demonstrate all of this good advice please?

[@alexlonac5858]

Amazing ideas and amazing work DONE . Looks great 👍

[@vegasstrong617]

Always start from the bottom up. Install threads , pin nail both back and front for the xtra security then install risers and stair nose will cover nail holes on both sides. But that’s just me, but overall, beautiful job.

[@allenrobinson6181]

What a transformation looks so good.

[@shawn1869]

I think the overlapping stair noses are terrible...they squeak and click all over the place. Honestly, the flush stair nose is the ONLY way to go. I've learned this the hard way in our first home. I will forever remember how disappointed I was every time I stepped on those cheap feeling overlap stair noses. The only overlap stair nose that should be used the the very top of the stairs only to allow for movement if there is flooding upstairs also.

[@mosestorres6553]

The end result is stunning! Great job.

[@weekendhomeprojects]

Makes me want to do my stairs.

[@joeschneider8025]

Overlapping Stare nose What perfect speed bumps. Nice

[@parsaeskandari1705]

Perfect ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@wtdudley05]

Have you had issues with adhesion when leaving the padding on and if you're using a glue or sealant, won't that affect expansion? Oh last question. Does vinyl need room for expansion? Thanks! I enjoyed t he video.

[@LJ-ih3pp]

Thank you for this video instruction. You make this look very easy to do myself.

[@fredybenavides3104]

thank you so much brother am doing same exact stair laminate floor for the first time on the stairs and I kind had an idea cus I have seen so many times but your video will help me alot thank you god bless you bro

[@LinzseyslilPad]

Looks great! If treads are glued down, what exactly can expand?

[@0spanishfly0]

Looks great!! Love the two tone. Question…. I’m doing the same thing to my stairs. Did you leave gap spaces on each end for expansion? And how much if you did?? What did you use to cover the gaps??? Caulking??? And my flooring comes with a padding on the bottom. Is it good just to glue it to the wood of the stairs?? And last, what about the “Underlayment?” It’s not needed on satires and landings???

[@jdmb03]

Expansion is for floating planks. He is gluing them so no expansion gap needed.

[@lakemarine484]

Your stairs look great! Question: Why does vinyl plank flooring have to be installed to "float" but stairs can be glued down?

[@nickroth593]

Much smaller runs and less material to expand

[@jorgetrejo8254]

By setting the riser on the laminated it'll be more ease and holds better????

[@fenderguy5865]

No need to worry about leaving an expansion gap if you glue the planks down.

[@missgray1472]

It looks good but why not get pine or oak stairs then stain to match? I would only use the bullnose on top floor.

[@markm8995]

What is the brand name of the stair product your installing and where to buy?

[@lisarenz3002]

Can you please let me know what color your flooring is, would love to find this flooring for our upstairs.

[@-agent-47-80]

I wouldn't never recommend LVP for stairs...but great job... 👍...my question is why silicone for transition edge... why not glue? It's supposed to be permanent...why silicone? Wet environment? So many products out there would suggest using even an epoxy or polyurethane.... less chance of pulling out.

[@A-mechanics-review-4U]

Only watch this if you want to learn how to do it wrong

[@markm8995]

Does anyone know what is the brand name of the stair product he is installing and where to buy?

[@jeannelee3026]

Do you do the same on the top landing step

[@andymena3862]

Do you have any liner on under the planks?

[@garyrouleau4676]

A 1/4 inch subtracted from 2 5/8 is 2 3/8 !!!!

[@SargeAndTheHandyman]

Finally. I was hoping someone caught that too

[@AndrewRidley-m5o]

Working in mm instead of inches is far more intricate and reduces the chances of mistakes in calculations.

[@awtherfrd]

I really wish the stair nose was flush with the plank on the tred as I don't like the way it puts a raised lip on the edge of each step. Seems like it could be a tripping hazard????

[@Linda-un6xm]

Agree. I did this and we had to put a runner on the stairs so you wouldn't trip over that lip. Still looks good though.

[@weekendhomeprojects]

New fear unlocked, thanks, haha.

[@jdmb03]

Many companies make full stair treads now. No need for planks and separate stair nose.

[@franciscojavierestrada7585]

You vould cover the gapswith quarter round on the edge with riser

[@pammcdougald53]

Awesome job!

[@jamesjackson7616]

You can take another board and use it as a cheater. Butt it up to the gap and run it on top of another board with a marker. and the lock will give you your expansion gap. I never use tape measures on things like that and you get way more accurate cuts

[@АукционыСиэтл]

I like how you glue it with the pad not removed from the buttom of planks😅😅😅

[@cedricmukende233]

How can I get the materials please please

[@janjaf844]

Is this southern gray?

[@donn-nd3bs]

Little nose trims on end each step hazard could trip over rather paint steps white and throw on long carpet rug that sits in middle hammered it

[@richielittlewood867]

Gonna be some noisey stairs 😅😅😅😅😅 !!

[@Dwitt-fh8gq]

Luckily they didn't glue anything down. Unfortunately you didn't return the favor.

[@user-tb3ih9lt4f]

I knew this was gonna be bad the moment I saw someone taking up carpet from the bottom up instead of pulling it down from the top lol

[@135Ops]

5/8 less 1/4 isn't 1/8 😀

[@944CoyoteV8]

Does anyone in the US use metric measurements? I feel like it's an easy fix 🤔

[@Messerwon]

No… just… no… 🤦🏻‍♂️ If these stairs last 2 years, I’ll be shocked.

[@coriac77]

I bought these stair lips and they are the worse. It does not help that they use a plastic piece to hold it instead of metal.

[@weekendhomeprojects]

What would you use?

[@Messerwon]

@@weekendhomeprojects almost exclusively hardwood only. Stairs take a beating compared to normal foot traffic on flooring surfaces. That would be my first and pretty much only recommendation. You’d choose a wood and stain to match the rest of the flooring which don’t necessarily have to be hardwood to last. You could also consider tile but the expense and expertise level required for installing tile is usually cost prohibitive.

[@mrobvious1100]

Can you say rubber mallet

[@RikkieLeigh]

I hate edge caps/bull nose whatevers. We have those on our stairs from when we bought our house. One was cracked and broken when we bought it and few more have already broken, too. Horrible product.

[@tonylupo5230]

Why are you worried about leaving an expansion joint your gluing everything so it doesn’t move! ? lol

[@lavolpe5082]

Dont go down in socks, you'll break y ourneck

[@ugh3012]

I have those steps. Hurts to walk on it by barefoot.

[@weekendhomeprojects]

Why, cause they're so pretty and you leave foot smugs?

[@raymondchow8722]

Please be safe. I think Vinyl, Laminate, and hardwood are all dangerous on stairs. I know carpets are dirty. I think using a easily replaceable carpet runner may be the best way to go. You only have to fall down from a slippery stairs once to realize carpet is the safest option. Since permanent carpet is too hard to replace therefore I recommend a runner option.

[@frizzlol]

No

1 plank on a.stair isn’t gonna expand

[@mrobvious1100]

We make videos but we do not respond

[@johnleonard8918]

Problem I see with that installation is you are adhering that cheap ass underlayment that comes pre attached to the planks and is suspect to come off over time , so then it's glued to the tread and not the plank

[@ArthurRosian]

He did alot of things wrong. Don't install your stair like he did.

[@Umustbecrazy]

What till the roaches move in

[@altanaltay7040]

Nosings are not secured to the bullnose with fasteners (Headless pin). They will come out over time (Even trip hazard). Landing planks are not glued to the subfloor. They will squick and make noise. Overall poor job, I hope you are not a professional floor layer.

[@thiaguinhooitodois2211]

Lol this is just wrong

[@scottharrington6969]

All I can say is wow , and that's not on a good way sorry to say

Worst stair parts install I've seen in almost 50 years. I hope I didn't upset the KZbin police.

[@bigfootbbq7642]

You had the ability to make everything square. You clearly do not know how to build plum level square.
