Frequently Asked Questions

Is a calibration plank required?

Vinyl products: Yes, one full-length calibration plank is required.

Laminate products: Yes, three full-length calibration planks are required. (We run into more issues while calibrating laminate products, so we ask for at least 3 additional planks.)

Note: You will not be charged for the calibration plank(s). We cannot process your order without the calibration plank(s).

Can these stair nosings be placed side by side on an extra-long stair?

Yes, Finished Edge nosings can be attached together side by side, the click system remains intact on all sides and the nosings are made with the exact same dimensions so they will fit together perfectly.

Will the stair nose cover my entire step?

No, because these stair nosings are made from the flooring planks themselves, they will only cover roughly 6 inches of your stair tread. The customer will use an additional plank to click into the stair nose to create a seamless finish to each step. Please read through our installation instructions or refer to our youtube channel for installation videos.

Should I cut off my stair treads before installation?

Vinyl products: No, you should not cut off the stair treads. One of the benefits of our stair nosings is that they are designed specifically to wrap around the existing stair treads, saving you time on your installation.

Laminate products: Only cut off the stair treads if the nosing will not wrap around the tread. (Laminate products have a standard outside dimension of 2 1/4" and the thickness of the flooring will dictate the inside measurement. Laminate nosings are strong enough to tolerate the weight without support from the stair tread.)

What are the stair nose Dimensions?

Vinyl products: Our nosings are a universal fit, made exclusively with the interior measurements of 3/4″ and 1-9/16″

Laminate products: Laminate nosings are made 2 1/4" thick outside dimension, and will fit over a 1 1/8" stair tread with up to a 12mm flooring thickness.

The maximum length for our nosings is restricted by the length of the plank flooring provided for fabrication. 60 inches is the maximum length we will ship out-of-state.

Will the stair nosings work on the top step and the landings?
