Just go slow. Make all your cuts nice a straight. Before you even begin with this project you should ask yourself. Do you have little kids running around wearing just socks? If so, you may not want to install laminate on your stairs. No doubt about it looks nice as can be. But is very slippery, to say the least.
OK, for the big bucks. The stair nosing that I used in this video was not cheap at all. When you go to buy the laminate floor of your choice ask them if they have “matching” stair nosing. Very important, you’ll be surprised by how many manufacturers don’t.
Hello! I have 3 landing stairs in the middle of my stair case and I am putting laminate with padding down. My question is do I need to remove the padding and glue it or float it?
Yes do not use padding at all. Unless they are really big stairs you can glue it. Otherwise you’ll have to pin it like adding trim
Hi, I was wondering how you covered the nails you Put on the stair nosing? Also what would you recommend to be placed if the wood moved and gaped a little bit? Great videos
Wood will move somewhat here and there and is normal. For the holes just use a regular wood filler putty.
You said if you have kids, don’t get laminated floors because it’s slippery. What would you suggest?
Back when I made this video you could only get smooth flooring. But now they have not so smooth and slick. Check some of them out and you’ll see what I mean.
