Nosing guide

Stair Nose Molding and LVP Stair Nose From Your Vinyl Plank

An LVP stair nose finishes the front edge of each step where vinyl plank flooring ends. Tread Space makes LVP stair nose by hand from the flooring identified for your project, rather than a coordinating trim piece.

Vinyl stair nose vs stock stair nose molding

Stock stair nose molding is coordinating trim. Tread Space instead reviews vinyl stair nose made from the flooring identified for the project.

LVP, SPC and WPC do not naturally wrap a stair edge on the job site, so the edge is wrapped in our Columbia Falls, Montana shop.

Overlap and flush LVP nosing profiles

Overlap nosing

has a lip over the flooring edge and is commonly used over a sound existing tread.

Flush nosing

sits level with the plank on the tread.

The applicable profile is confirmed during review of your flooring and stair details.

What to send for an LVP stair nose quote

Send the brand, product or collection, color name and SKU from the box label; plank length, width and thickness; stair count and each width; open sides; and photos.

Pricing and turnaround are confirmed on your written quote.
