Laminate Stairs Installation How to Install Stair Tread Riser Overlap Nose Tips Mryoucandoityourself

If you have a plan stairs remodel in your home, installing laminate flooring on stairs instead of carpet, you should know how to do laminate stair tread and riser installation. You can use any size laminate board for your stair risers. Please note: installing laminate stair treads you should use laminate boards that fit the whole length of the tread. We have two types of laminate stair nose - flat connection with tread and overlap. In this video, I am using overlap stair nosing. This overlap laminate nosing fits any type of laminate flooring.

Great presentation. Thank you for the time and effort you took to make this video and share it with us. Greetings from Croatia.

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

You’re welcome!

[@Michael_78]

I've found it a lot easier to work from the bottom up so that way the cut at the back of the tread is hidden by the riser. Also you can nail the tread at the back to keep it in place as the glue dries and hide the nails with the riser.

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

Hi, why I am doing stairs from the up to down, because the joints between rises and treads looks more finished and you can’t see the gaps between rises and treads when walking up and down. Also I don’t like stepping up on the fresh made stairs. But all types of installation works if you’re knowing what to do.

[@crawdad19141]

0:14 what is this tool called that you are using to get the precise size for the cuts. I have never seen one of those but that looks like it does an amazing job, especially since on my project i dont plan to install base at the stair areas

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

It’s called stair jig - amzn.to/2i3sLNG

[@brendapuryer]

This was helpful! Thank you. I also noticed that this seems to be a stairwell in a split level home where you did vinyl flooring on the top level. We bought stair nose to cover the edge from the top of the stairs to the exterior wall. Would it be installed the same way?

Question I have Lifeproof vinyl planks from Homedepot left over and I want to use it on my steps but the planks have backing (underlayment) on them.

Did u lay the bullnose on top of the vinyl and if so did u leave any type of gap?

[@cesar0610]

Great video, could you please let us know the brand and model of the nose?

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

Hi Cesar, you can find overlap nosing in Home Depot or Lowes. Also flooring stores sell nosing with flooring material as well. If you can't find overlap nosing, you can make it from the regular nose, just cut the bottom of grove. Thanks!

[@mazhariqbal1520]

[@nmcovert]

I am working on a stair project in my house, my stair nosing came with a metal track that it snaps into. Im wondering if i should use that or should I just glue it and use a brad nailer to fasten them down.

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

I never did with metal track. Maybe it’s working. I have to see it. Sorry

[@thejianina1]

You don't need the metal track you just glue the stair nose to the stairs and nail it to hold it while the glue drys.

[@nmcovert]

To avoid face nailing the laminate nosing i changed my plans and ended up making my own white oak treads. It seemed to me it was going to be the first failing point of the laminate treads. Thanks for the reply though.

[@LongtowerNyc]

Was there underlayment on the laminate? Or did you remove?

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

Hi, same laminate floor for riser and treads. Thanks!

[@Appoloimperial]

We have similar laminate as in the video, in a newly constructed house, and the nosing has a definite shiny appearance (and feel) compared to the treads. In one place what appears to be a protective film is coming away a bit where it must have been nicked by appliance moving or something. Is that really part of the nosing construction or did the installer forget to remove a protective film? Doesn't look like it would be easy to pull it all off (as you would for an appliance, etc.) and I am fairly sure it's there for a reason - to minimize wear on those edges. So I am guessing we live with those minor damaged areas which are only really visible in bright sunlight. Thanks for any insight on that.

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

I have never seen a film on laminated nosings.

[@xilerli7537]

Thank you very much for making these videos. By the way, where can i buy the laminate stairs measure tool like yours?

They have something very similar at Home Depot for $20

[@jenicethomas948]

So are u laying the Bullnose on top of the vinyl Flooring ?

This is overlap nose. Now we made square nose from the same material which can locks with treads.

[@NewShockerGuy]

I am doing our floor now with laminate in the basement. I am going to be doing the stairs and had a question. The manufacture that I went with makes both the stair tread, bull nose, and rise... Is there a reason why you did not go with a full stair tread? IE: It seems like it would be easier and faster to just put and entire stair tread on, rather than some laminate, then measure/cut... then put a the bull nose piece on the end of step... Just want to make sure I am not over thinking something here...

I have a few questions : 1- is it ok if i start with the installation from the bottom and install treads first then put the riser on top? 2- is a brod nailer for nailing the nosing and treads since it doesnt leave a big hole

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

Hi, good questions! First of all I would recommend installing risers and treads with nothing’s same time, because you can do more precise installation without gaps. Best installation from top to the bottom , because you don’t need to walking up and down over fresh stairs many times. And for second question: I used 23 Ga nails, holes not visible. Thanks and take care!

[@tylernettestad]

1. Yes. 2. Yes.

[@jamiegreen2351]

Is the bullnose a little bit higher than the laminate planks? This is how mine turned out (looks identical to yours). I'm worried about it being a tripping hazard with the small elevation differences in the products.

Hi Lou, I agree with you about overlap nosing, it's not comfortable. But, if we cut nose off it's make step less , I am not agree. You can cut or build out - step gonna be the same. Believe me, only build out cost much more. Thanks!

As a stair builder for over 30 years I would not recommend laminate floor planks for a stair tread application. I can promise you will get squeaks over time. Spend the money and get solid 1" treads. That is unless you want to use your stairway as an alarm system.

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.

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

I didn't buy this laminate flooring, just made the job. Noses are original and come with this floor material.

MrYoucandoityourself The reason I ask is because I cannot find the matching bullnoses and this guy told me that commonly they add a darker color to the bullnose to contrast the transitions between steps so no one mis-steps. Have you heard of this technique?

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

pcproff Yes, I used this technique. The stairs look wonderful if you make big contrast: light treads/risers + dark bullnoses or brown treads/risers and almost white bullnoses. The more contrast - the better!

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

Great!

No expansion gap needed?

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

Hi, no gaps needed for stairs.

[@stevenmarano834]

This looks like he put bullnose over top of plank. Aren’t they supposed to but flat. Not over top

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

God question! I installed overlap nosing.

[@dennishoffman5146]

The bull nose cannot be raised on a stair edge because it is a trip hazard and against the code. Always cut the stair covering short to let the bull nose settle level with the laminate so there is no raised edge.

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

Hi Dennis, this type of nosing is standard for a floating floor. You can send your questions to manufacturers and building departments to change the rules. Thanks!

[@dennisdesroches1748]

what glue?

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

+Dennis DesRoches Construction glue or PL400. You can buy it in Home Depot.

[@mathewhallstein5934]

Why did you shoot nails through a floating floor. You use adhesive on stairs because it allows for a little swelling. Nails can crack the west layer when the boards naturally react to changes in moisture. It’s fine while the house has active climate control. But let the power go out for awhile or the AC die. You will be replacing those treads.

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

Laminate flooring not affected by the moisture.

[@mathewhallstein5934]

@@MrYoucandoityourself are you serious? Laminate flooring is mainly pressed together wood held together with glue and a wear layer. When moisture intrudes it begins to swell. Many inproperly installed laminate laminate floors have buckled due to moisture. While you obviously have the skill to do the job, you lack the proper foundation of knowledge to do it correctly. I am a CFI certified flooring installer and I am letting you know that shooting nails through a floating floor is a recipe for disaster, but if your willing to warranty your work. You will find out soon enough. Good luck.

Hi Webster, all nosing for laminate stairs 8 foot length. Most of hardwood flooring stores supplying this nosings. Just ask them. Thanks

Bad ideal stair nose to small won't pass building code super slick bust your hip

[@MrYoucandoityourself]

I don’t want to argue with you because for floating floor top nosing should be overlapping floor. In this case overlap nosing on stairs same function and passing any building codes and safe as well. Thanks for watching and commenting!

No one should use laminate on stairs, it's to slippery and the nosing sticks up to high. I have been in a few homes that did this and it hurts your feet to walk on. if you were to wear work boots it would be fine LOL

[@rafals5113]

MrYoucandoityourself Yeah i just go create Video special for you... I want to say that this nails are not needed at all. Rest of the work looks good. When you share videos on KZbin have to be ready for people opinions. If you want to lear something new just TRY use only glue without nails. Simple and easy. Esthetics will be on the higher level, thats it.
