How To Install Metal Stair Nosing for Vinyl Flooring on Wood Stairs 

Brent, this is exactly the video I was looking for. I have the planks and I have the metal stair nose; now I can put them the stairs. Thank you for the easy-too-follow instructions and good video.

Great explanation thank you. I am using it on an awkward 'ledge' around my fireplace. 😊😊

Thanks I’m laying viynl planks on our stairs and was too intimidated to do metal stair nosing but i think I’m going to try now

Loved that you made it a point to say that it’s good to get the nail holes all even. It’s these small things that make the difference. The pre drilling is a good reminder, lol I have bent many a nails trying to hammer them in on such surfaces.

Thanks for this! I’m installing this myself tomorrow. If I wait for my BF to do it, I’ll be dead by the time he finishes!

Thanks for the clear video. The nosing was pretty easy to cut, and it fits perfectly.

That's what I was thinking of doing with my stairs also. My stairs use 2x10x35 3/4" treads and 1x8 risers nailed to the back of the threads. I need to replace the treads and risers so I'll cover them before I install. Since the metal nosings are 72" with the holes evenly spaced, I just cut from opposite ends, so I don't even need to be concerned with hole spacing. They will be not more than 1/4" from symmetrical all the way down, and I can replace one if necessary by simply cutting to length and the holes will line up perfectly. I was thinking screws, but I will consider using the nails that came with them like you did.

Great tips. Exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks for showing an easy way to install metal stair noses but I would have liked to see the finish product installed.

Nicely done sir!

Great video. Thanks!

I just installed mine today and spayed it last night. I don't like the color I choose. But it will do for now

Nice clean work. Good stuff bud!

Exactly what I was looking for

Hi Brent! Are you doing any other projects to this particular house? I feel like you’re taking us through the entire floor process (which is great!)

thanks for the tips!!

Hi Brent!! Your stairs look great.I am going to use the peel and stick vinyl planks on my stairs. I already ripped up the carpet! Can I use these metal stair noses over my rounded stair noses?? I’m trying to find a product that will work over my rounded stair noses. Thank you!!

Well explained 👍

Just so I understand because I have the same thing I'm troubleshooting. This nosing is essentially to hide and reinforce the seam of the lvp planks joining where the riser and tread meet? I installed glue down lvp flooring, no nose, 90 degree angle stairs and need a way to finish the edge. Nosing is so costly!

If I remove this, because the guy who did the job left the cut edge jagged. Can I put a new one down and put nails into same holes?

Are you doing just the landing ot the entire set of stairs? Do you have a video on gluedown stairs? Thanks

Great video, much appreciated, including the porn-y music, lol :-)

Great video..did you have to cut the wood nosing off the stair first before adding the steel nosing??

Where do you buy those nails I cannot find them in Home Depot

How do i remove aluminum nosing with nails that are flush?

Where can I purchase the metal stair nosing in this color?

How do you remove metal stair nosings??? Nailed down

Good

Nails like these have eaten my socks all the time. Lol. Serious question though, unfinished thread nose was not cut to flush to the riser and just left and covered by metal molding as is?

I saw a video that shows your predrilled hole should be twice the thickness of your nail. Allow for expansion ?

This is good. Thanks. ps nice socks, ha.

what is the size of your stair nosing?

I'm getting LVP on my stairs. So far, the carpet has been removed and there are 2x10 steps. I was told that stair tread boards (nosing) are needed in order to install the LVP. Can I add this to the bare 2x10 steps and then have them install the vinyl?

I thought you are not supposed to nail/screw such flooring. How they gonna expand?

What gauge tin snips did you use or minimum need to use

what about if I used this method on Laminate stairs?

You forgot the adhesive!

It would be helpful if you could mention what size and type of nail you used.

What nails did you use?

👍

Please be safe. I think Vinyl, Laminate, and hardwood are all dangerous on stairs. I know carpets are dirty. I think using a easily replaceable carpet runner may be the best way to go. You only have to fall down from a slippery stairs once to realize carpet is the safest option. Since permanent carpet is too hard to replace therefore I recommend a runner option.

So my step is 42” wide and this stuff comes like 36” and 72”... do you think it would be too noticeable (with harp edges) to alternate a 6” piece on each side or would you just go ahead and get the long one which is just short for 2 steps🤦‍♂️

How do I do this with a floating lvp? Can I nail the nosing too? If I do nail it, how will it contract?

#brentdalington how do I make a bend on a 135 degree with that nosing there?

Dumb question, why can’t it be glued? Nails are visible and ugly.

Please. No music. Struggling with it. Thank you. (Seen others say same😢😢😢). There are now videos about the difficulty hearing and how to mute 'background' music. Now seems that the music has become 'foreground'. I do know that young/old hear differently....might be that, but still very difficult to screen in your words.
