Re: [DIY] finishing laminate flooring at the top of stairs

 

From: Charlie Rettberg
I am installing laminate flooring in new construction, 2-story. We are
laying the padding over the OSB underlayment, and then laminate on the
padding.

I'm not sure how to finish the flooring at the top of the stairs. It seems
to me that transition will create a trip hazard. What are my options?
--------------------

Look for a matching laminate stair nose. It's a narrow piece, like molding
or trim, but one edge is a stair/step nose. Basically, one trims off the
original nose of the stair tread and fits this piece in place. Brings the
stair and the new flooring to level, and no trip hazard. You may have to
special order it, but it's worth it to make the stair look nice and remove
that trip hazard.

Hope this helps.
