Flush Stair Nose Installation Instructions 

Hello, For actual stairways, yes. You should be gluing down the planks as well, Most people do tend to use the same construction adhesive as they use for the stair nose piece though.

Really, an overlap stairnose is what would be recommended in that situation if one was available. Some companies won't warranty a flush done this way, but Shaw recommends you custom cut the planks to fit nicely against the stairnose and glue a section of the floor down to keep it secure. You lose your factory edge and bad cuts will be obvious, but it is really the only way to make it work.

@@znetflooring Thank you!! I greatly appreciate your suggestions.

Really they are designed to have the factory edge, but many installers do cut it on landings to be able to use the flush in those spots as well. Other wise you would need an overlap on landings and not match the other stairnose. Be aware, that not all manufacturer's will warranty using a flush on a landing piece or the top riser if going into a room with the same product installed. These floors are designed to be floating and to use a flush stairnose, the floor needs to be glued down. If use at the top riser going into an installed room, if using the flush stairnose, you would want to glue down a section of the flooring in front of the stairs. Please confirm with the manufacturer if you want to have your warranties retained.

Hi @markcloutier873, We unfortunately do not sell this particular stair nose anymore, but you can find others that are similar on our website znetflooring.com Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about the flooring, and/or ordering process :)

Is there a certain floor you are trying to coordinate with?

@@znetflooring Not yet. I would like a match between the nosing and the rest of the vinyl flooring however. Favoring a lighter tan color.

Hello, Those look like either exclusives or a renamed product for a large nation brick and mortar retailer.

@@znetflooring where can I find large selection of flush stair noses

@@delltek102 Are you wanting to bring a sample of your floor somewhere and physically try and match thickness and color? Flush stairnose might be hard to find a match, but many cities may have a company that buys closeouts, the best way to find those companies may be to ask local installers as that's where they would likely go when they fall short unexpectedly and need to finish a job. If you are in the Las Vegas area, I could point you in the right direction?

I am in queens, ny

Hello, This is a flush stairnose by Shaw or Coretec.

I would check with the manufacturer, some brands have a special glue, some ask that you scrap off the pad.

@@znetflooring It was pain in the ass to scratch up the attach pad🤦 I just thought if you glue it will hold up good.

@@hachiroku7443 Many people go against manufacturer's recommendations and glue them down with the pad still attached, I have not heard of issues. But officially I recommend following the manufacturer's guidelines.

@@znetflooring Yes mkst people with attached pad don’t have issues… I’m gonna install stair edging anyay so it will screw down and will add nail under hoping to add security👍 Thanks!
