How To Install Hardwood Flooring On Stairs With
Nosing

Fixing The Risers
First, get the staples out and the tack strip up,
and then tackle the risers. A lot of houses with
stairs covered with carpets have some pretty poor
performance under the carpet. Risers (and treads)
hAVE some pretty big gaps on either side and also
look pretty terrible if they are being planted
without being fixed. Instead of sanding
everything down, install new risers and cut them
down. It will give you the desired outcome.

Placing The First Boards
Take the first step, hook the new tread piece to
the present floor upstairs, and stuck it down
applying liquid nails. Most contractors suggested
using either Liquid Nails or a different type of
construction adhesive. Wood glues can also be
used. Glue it down with construction adhesives
and then cut and put the cove trim. Also, make
sure you tap them to keep them in covered places.

Dealing With The Stair Nosing
While that dried, the next challenging step is to
deal with the stair noising. Each stair step has
a lip or edge on it (nosing), and the replacement
hardwood flooring will not cover it. In such
cases, best is to hire professional flooring

use a cove trim underneath each step to wrap
things up. Trimming each step needs a lot of
patience and also requires an industrial-strength
noise machine.

Painting The Risers
Finally! after tread installation is done, paint
the risers. You're going to love the premium look
it gives but they will also initially slide like
crazy. Therefore, if you have kids at home, cover
them with a runner and provide kids something
stable to walk on.

Installing The Runner
Installing runners is pretty easy-peasy. Start
the runner and secure it with a few staples to
make sure it is centered. Next is to wrap the
fabric around the tread and pull taught. Also,
shoot some staples at the end of the fabric and
continue until you run out of fabric. Repeat the
runners again and again and ultimately cut clean
across the bottom and staple into place.

Finishing The Runner
A lot of tutorials present on the internet will
suggest wrapping the bottom of the runner below
itself so you have a pleasant, tidy edge. But if
the runners are extremely thick they will look
bad and bulky. The runners are soft and
comfortable under the foot. Also, we have zero
issues with fraying or scratchiness.
