looks good

Reinforced double sided flooring tap works the best for installing nosing's and transitions, it sticks instantly and its almost impossible to remove.

Your tutorial is the best I've seen so far. It makes me feel confident that I can tackle my stairs. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

Rather than cutting the nose off my treads could I put the riser board at an angle eg this way ---/ obviously level with the top of the tread ???

Replacing my carpet with vinyl flooring and stairs is the one I'm worried about. After watching about 3 how-to videos, this is the one where I understand each step with all the details I needed. Thank you sir, good job!

Great video, short, no time wasted. Thx

Thank you for explaining everything you’re doing. I can’t tell you how many videos I watched and the person just assumes we all do this for a living

After watching numerous videos this one showed me exactly what I was looking for.

Doesn’t it reap off during contraction n expansion when fit tightly?

What if the left side of the stairs is open??

nice job explaining the whole process, appreciate it

Thanks god bless

👍 спасибо за инструкцию

I did not see you glue down the treads. Do we need to remove the underlay backing?

U are the man my man! U do great work!

I compiled a set of 10 steps that helped me after watching this video to help me better understand what to do. 1. Start with some mdf sheets, preprint them before cutting anything, and wait until their nice and dry. A cabinet finish paint would be fine. A semigloss would be good because it'll take some hits from feet and not be easily damaged like matts 2. Using a special tool call a Treadmaster, or just a normal tape measure, measure then cut the mdf into place. The video details how to use this special tool, but isn't necessary for onetime jobs or where tight finishes aren't a huge deal. 3. Before installing the riser, dry fit it to see if it fits and that the riser comes flush with the tread, or even a little lower. Also, put the ugly edge facing up, because the stair nosing will cover it. 4. Then, place some construction adhesive in a www pattern on the piece and mash it back into place, and shoot some pins along the top part where the nosing will cover and some more on the rest of the riser to hold it in place while the glue sets up. 5. Measure the depth of the tread using a tape measure, and the width of the tread using the tread master or tape measure. 6. Transfer the measurements to your planks that are clicked together and cut off BOTH ends of the plank if you're using one plank to span the stair. In the video, he covers 3 different method for patterns. Use a knife or saw to cut the planks down. 7. After dry fitting the tread, apply a full layer of construction adhesive to cover the entire tread. And press it into place. Continue these steps till all stars are covered. 8. For the nosing, measure and cut each stair to length, then, while dry fitting the nosing, hold it back about ¼" and mark a line along the nosing. This is where you'll sand the plank to give it a rough surface for glue. 9. Before applying glue to the nosing, sand down the inside of the nosing aswell with 120 or harsher grit. 10. After sanding both inside the nosing, and where the nosing will go, apply a generous amount of construction adhesive to the inside of the nosing, staying away from the edge. And roll the nosing on away from the stair, so that the glue-squeeze-out doesn't pass the nosing. With some blue tape, tape the nosing in place till the glue sets (usually 24 hours). Yay!

FBSB - this tutorial was absolutely amazing! Every detail was included and explained proficiently in layman's language that I could understand. Keep up the great work and Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

My bullnose broke off I'd like to get the old glue off of the bullnose so there will be a smooth surface to reglue it. How do you recommend me getting that glue off I've just been taking a razor blade to it carefully

I have watched so many tutorials that left me still feeling uneasy about tackling this project. You explained this so well I actually feel like I can do this now having watched this, thank you.

Great video! About to tackle 13 steps for the first time!

Great tutorial video! Especially for beginners thanks!🙏🏾

Thank your Sir, You are a master of your trade. My best video on youtube so far. Thank you.

So nice to see such QUALITY work and craftsmanship!!!

Thanks for the video. Much appreciated! ✊🏽

Pretty thorough, much appreciated

Great video this will be my next project to do this weekend.

Love this video ❤super helpful. Trying to decide how I want my stairs done ✅ this is great

This is a great tutorial no lie

Thank you so much for this

Such an underrated channel!!!!

Pro tip for measuring the width: Stretch ya tape 10 inches from one side and mark it, then send it from the other side to your mark for sure measurements. Don't forget to check for square and measure the front and back of each tread

Very nice video and great explanation!

great video

Ive done many rooms before but im about to do almost 800 sq feet with some stairs involved. Thanks for the video!

Very informative, thank you sir.

Excellent video, great tips!!

Thank you SO much for this video!!! My husband and I used your method on our stairs today. We appreciate you!!!

thanks so much

Thank you for the thorough video.

Should be using a stair tread gauge

Thanks for publishing this - just what I needed!

What a great instruction. Thank you, okay?

Good job boss

Extremely helpful video thanks a bunch.

Good job!!!

I really appreciate you taking the time to do this demonstration. Im doing my stairs to my basement this weekend. Wish it was only 3 stairs lol. But you've helped me alot with the video. Thanks again.

Helluva video. Thanks a lot. This was super thorough.

I'm just being honest man! I'm just so excited you said INK PIN. I was starting to believe I was the only one that still called it that. LOL Thank You! Oh yes! Great Video! I love it!

Thank you sir! Great video

Do your stairs all have to be sand and even correct someone i hired really messed my stairs up and I’m left trying to fix it your video was very helpful

Do I have to scrap off the foam underlay before I glue?

My secret weapon is a heat gun...I live in Canada so it's cold....throw a heat gun on high for 25 30 seconds back and forth with a fresh blade, will cut like butter. Door jambs , heavy risers, full length width cuts anything you wish!

Thank you! Fantastic demo!

Great tutorial thank you

Thank you for the video

Great work old school best work totally pro work.

Thanks for the professional tips and tutorial videos🙏🙏

Awesome video, man. Very helpful and will be referenced many times when I do my own stairs. Cheers.

"Have fun with these steps" 😂 These stairs will be the bane of my existence for the next 2 weeks sir

Great video. Thanks for it.

Great video. Thanks for great tips . Appreciate your hard work ...

You are awesome 👏

Seen a bunch of videos. You came out on top. Great job

Nice video. Really step by step. The stair nose part is excellent.

I love your videos and truly think they are very helpful. Watching you do the three different steps have given me the confidence that I can do it. I do have one question. I did not see you leave an expansion gap. Is it necessary?

Definitely a great informational video. Sanding the inside of the nose piece and plank should be a common sense thing, but I didn't even think of that. Great job, sir! I noticed you used a mitre saw to cut them. My top step leading into the kitchen goes around the door, and I'm trying to figure out what to use to cut it to fit around the door jamb... 🤔

It looks really good but personally I perform cap_ a treat stair casing because overall looks seamless .

Any recommendations for open riser stairs?

Do you have video making staircase or stairs? Thank you for wonderful videos.

Landing?

Are this treads not supposed to have some play? They look like floating boards.

This is video is by far the best I have seen on installing vinyl planks on a stairway. I notice you that you kept the cork backing/underlayment when glueing them to the treads. Most new planks come with a synthetic underlayment layer attached. Is it still ok to use polyurethane adhesive with those? Thank you!

Thanks you so much for your detail careful demo which is excellent. However after watching several different demo on lvp stairs, I'm thinking and waiting for LVP manufacturers to make one piece of thread including nose so that there no joining pieces together. It's so much easier and time saving- just measure length and width for fitting for simple straight identical stairs.Gapping may show up over time as the stairs takes heavy beating with thread joining planks. Curving stairs may not be so easy to do.

Hey great video man thank you for the useful info your videos are by far the most helpful! Quick question i am looking to install vinyl planks on my wooden steps but i am concerned about the noise in my tenants apartment below. Can I use an acoustical underlayment to deaden the sound? If so how would i install these? Not sure if they glue down or not.

Wow, this tutorial was awesome 👏🏻. Great video

Thank you for this video one of the best of KZfaq! Couple of questions: 1 - Do I need to purchase the Treadman Stair Scribe, as I would a speed square, flat edge, tape measure for measurement and scoring with a blade? It's $300 and I'm just a DIYer for my home. 2 - What kind of Liquid Nails can I substitute for the adhesive? I live near a big box store. Thanks again!

What's a Hieth? Lol. Do you mean Height?

Okay? Okay?

Thanks for details, just wanted to know, I need to put riser as well. Can you explain that when risers should be installed. Before the step or after the steps. Thanks

Should not need perfect measurement on riser and tread width. Nose cover will hide edge if come up a bit short, but looks like your a perfectionist so we'll done! 😊

This video is amazing. You make it look so easy. I will be starting this project because of you. Thank you. Where did you buy the San Andreas Oak flooring. I love the colour.

Your videos have been incredibly helpful, but I've run into a problem that I haven't seen you address. I have vinyl plank in my room and I have stairs leading down to our basement. The stairs are no problem except for the top one. All of the stair moldings call for gluing the molding down. That's not a problem for all of the other stairs, but doesn't doing that on the top stair lock in the vinyl plank (shared with the room) since it can no longer move because the molding will hold it in place? I've been very careful to leave gaps around the floor and don't want to mess something up now.

Do you have any videos on how to install LVP on concrete floors

I’d buy you a lunch for this tutorial if we met bro thank you

Okay? 😂

Where can I get the nose for stairs? And the correct name please to order it. Thanks

Is there a reason you wouldn't shoot pins in the flooring to hold it in place while the glue sets up?

Like the idea, thanks for the share. Can I ask how would you fit a the bull nose right or left?

This is an extremely helpful video thank you. What’s confusing me about stairs is, isn’t an expansion gap critical for LVP? Why fit the vinyl tight to the stairs here? I prefer the look but am nervous.

Great video Southern Boys. Enjoyed the details. I wonder why you didn't use that handy scribing tool to measure the mdf for the riser tho.

You took your time with every step and made it perfect! But, I’m wondering are you not using baseboards? Also, how come you didn’t use weights?

I've seen mdf stairs with linol where it was all swelled and some how exposed to water at some point. Yet, for some reason, my boss told me to clean it up nice and keep going. If it was my job, I would have torn that stuff out and charged extra.

This is awesome! But Im trying to use a slightly more budget tool for the measuring part. Do you know of any other tool that would work similarly?

Any recommendations on how to transition from a top step which meets LVP that is running perpendicular with the stair treads? It would be great if I could have the nosing on the top step butt up and look flush next to the perpendicular planks on our second floor. Any ideas?

Great video on vinyl plank on stairs. My home has floating steps and I want to have vinyl planks installed. Is this something not typically done? I have not seen any videos on how this should be done.

I wish my floor guy watched this video before messing up my stairs

Great Video! How do I measure the stairs for flooring ?

Question: When you glue the vinyl for the tread, do you remove the foam backing off first? Do you need to?

Thank you for the helpful instruction. Our LVP stairnose is squeaking when we use the steps. The bottom of the stairnose appears to be rubbing against the riser. Any recommendations on how to fix this problem? Should the stairnose even touch the riser? We just installed LVP to the landing, so we'd like to know how to avoid the problem when we finish installing LVP on the rest of the staircase. We are using Smartcore Pro LVP.

Instead of using MDF on the risers, could you do tile? Have you done this before and do you have any recommendations?
