The step with the wood tread is just a display in our store to show how the stair options are installed. The stairs in homes here are built with plywood or osb, not actually hardwoods.
The critical error was also to not match the existing bullnose. Rounded gets rounded. The square edge still has a breaking point below. Never put a loaded dolly on it.
please I have a question regarding the stringers. my installers used glue down vinyl plank on the stringers then capped it with a metal capping on the corner seams. It looks so tacky. Is it not possible to cut the nosing be lengthwise and run it down the stringer? It would look so much better than a metal cap that does not even match in any way what so ever the plank. Also, they used a silicone on the steps at the side seams... would this not have a deteriate effect over time just as it does around the toilet and sinks?
Or, dont make the mistake of using those stair nosings, and get guys that fill that space with wood so that it is 100% unbreakable, that tiny rounded stair nosing doesnt fill the whole portion of the nosing in. More work to install, but a better, safer, more professional result.

Every foot of that flooring will need to be removed from the stairs to build out the front of each step with a spacer built on to recreate that nose. There is no lie there.
I feel like gluing a piece of wood on isn't good enough. The nosing has to be the extension of the tread itself or that joint is going to break. I built mine without nosing and now I want to replace the treads because I don't see any way to get a strong nosing with what I've done.
I meant that all of the steps had to be reinstalled for the entire staircase. The LVT had to be replaced on all of it with new stairnosese. I did not mean that the subfloor structure had to be replaced. Sorry for the confusion everyone!
how about you make a video claiming it has to be TOTALLY replaced & you to be a hero... whilst... ...If the client happens to recite-or perform any rites of OSHA sounding like, "safety safety safety (hazard) ...." ...its a CYA maneuver to possibly pin some (other) related liabilities on you. So CYA
All of the flooring was installed on the steps incorrectly. The flooring all had to be replaced. I did not mean the actual stair structure itself, I should have stated that more clearly.
Don't use these stair tread covers if you can avoid it. They're ugly and cheap looking. If it's for a rental property, it may make some sense, but not for your own home. There's no rule that says "the stairs must match the flooring". In fact, I think it looks better if they don't match. (Just my opinion) Also, there's no such thing as "Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring." It's either luxury, or it's vinyl... not both.
