Sound existing tread staying in place
stair nosing can be retrofitted over it: an overlap nosing sits on the existing tread and your flooring runs up to its back edge.
Stair remodel guide
Hard stair tread covers made from your own flooring
When a hard-surface floor replaces carpet, the stair can be finished with an overlap nosing over a sound tread or a full wall-to-wall tread. Tread Space makes approved LVP and wood parts by hand; laminate is limited to nosing only.
Made by hand for the existing stair
LVP and wood flooring are wrapped in-shop into stair parts made by hand in Columbia Falls, Montana. The shop-wrap outcome carries the flooring over the stair edge without publishing the proprietary method.
Start with what is under the carpet
No finished tread worth keeping
wall-to-wall treads and risers made from your flooring cover the whole step instead.
One or two open sides
add finished return nosings and risers so the exposed ends are wrapped rather than trimmed.
What to measure before asking for a quote
The flooring identity from the box label: brand, product or collection, color name and SKU.
Plank length, width and thickness.
For a retrofit: the current tread depth and thickness, so the build-up can be reviewed.
The number of stairs and each stair width, measured individually rather than assumed equal.
Which sides are open and need finished returns.
Preparing the stairs
For an overlap retrofit, the install guide covers removing the old carpet edge, scraping and vacuuming the tread flat, then fitting the nosing before the flooring field. Installation is done by you or your own contractor; Tread Space supplies the fabricated parts.
