Stair Nose Vinyl

Find just the right color and look of Stair Nose Vinyl materials to ensure extra safety & durability for your busy staircase. Stair Nose Vinyl products overhang the top of the stair tread and also give some added space for foot-falls. The edges stay protected from any damage and the repetitious wear-and-tear on stairs. It is a good idea to use on any stairs, especially those that have treads under 11 inches since building codes often require it. Because the front surface of steps see the most action, Stair Nose Vinyl installation can save money in the long run because it would be more expensive to replace flooring or carpet than have this protective measure in place from the outset. A great choice for any home or business owner.

Stair Nose Trim

Install Stair Nose Trim for user safety and less overall maintenance. This vinyl product has a bull nose that lets it attractively conform to the form and shape of stair risers, and it’s often used on steps for both safety and material protection. Stair treads need Stair Nose Trim in strong, reliable vinyl to keep it in great shape even with high daily traffic. It can minimize wear-and-tear, scratches, scuffs, and other potential damage. A longer lifespan with stairs that look pristine—that’s the benefit of Stair Nose Trim products.

Stair Nose Strip

The simple, streamlined choice for stairwells is Stair Nose Strip. Constructed with high-end vinyl and meant to last through years of wear and tear, tough Stair Nose Strip is placed along the front edge of each tread for an added layer of protection. It provides a safe ridge for footfalls, and keeps the edge from getting worn down as swiftly as it would without the durable strip. This is a subtle yet effective tool for protection. The color can be matched with stair flooring materials or use a slightly different tone for a unique look.

Overlap Stair Nose

Where the foot hits the stairs in each step, there should be an added level of protection for both the walker and the wear-and-tear factor for the home or facility. Overlap Stair Nose vinyl products are the answer, as they offer sturdy, effective support. Overlap Stair Nose placement means there is a nice, steady transition to the edge of the step where flooring meets the change, by overlapping the flooring material on the back portion. This is an excellent choice, rather than having the materials remain flush because it naturally allows for more secure stepping. These are especially helpful in places that need a boost of extra support, like walking outdoors into patios or down into sunken spaces.

Flush Stair Nose

Looking for a smooth edge to your stairs rather than something more obvious or bulbous? In many cases, especially on often-used stairs that do not require extra safety measures for users, you can choose Flush Stair Nose products with thin yet durable vinyl construction. A Flush Stair Nose creates an elegant, smooth finish at the edge of each step. The Flooring meets the transition with a strong, flush edging. Flush Stair Nose is a popular choice in colors that match the stair flooring materials and blend in seamlessly for a handsome look.

What is Stair Nose

Most stairs are required to have at least 11 inches of length in each tread. If they do not meet this requirement, a Stair Nose is recommended. Even for treads that meet that number, many people still choose to install Stair Nose products for added safety, protection, and material longevity. Stair Nose can offer extra steadiness for walkers, and it can reduce maintenance costs in the long run, as edges are less likely to encounter damage or fast wear-down. Stair nose overhangs top treads on stairways to give a steady step ridge and extra space to walk upon. It’s an oft-used product for stairs using vinyl and all other flooring materials. Many designers and others highly recommend using Stair Nose options in homes and offices.
