Stair Flooring Installation

STAIR FLOORING & FINISHING

Stair flooring requires careful consideration of the existing stair structure, selected flooring product and finishing details. JUMA Flooring installs flooring on stairs as part of residential, commercial & multifamily flooring projects, with the installation approach determined by the specific product and project conditions.

Depending on the project, stair flooring may incorporate the same or a complementary flooring material used in adjacent areas. Proper preparation, accurate measurements and appropriate finishing components are important parts of achieving a finished stair installation.

Stair Treads

Stair treads form the walking surface of each step and can be finished using the selected flooring material or an appropriate stair tread product.

Stair Risers

Stair risers form the vertical portion of each step and can be finished according to the selected flooring system and design requirements.

Stair Noses

Stair noses provide a finished edge at the front of the stair tread and help create a transition between the tread and riser.

Stair treads are the horizontal walking surfaces of a staircase and are an important part of both the function and finished appearance of a stair flooring project. The appropriate tread solution depends on the existing stairs, selected flooring material and project requirements.

Stair Tread Installation

JUMA Flooring can install stair treads as part of a flooring project, with the installation approach determined by the selected product and existing stair conditions. Proper measurements, preparation and alignment are important to achieve a finished installation.

Flooring Materials for Stair Treads

Stair Tread Preparation

Before installation, the existing stair surfaces are evaluated to identify conditions that may require preparation. Preparation may include removal of existing flooring, surface correction or other work needed for the selected stair flooring system.

Stair tread installation is coordinated with the surrounding flooring and other stair finishing components to create a consistent finished result.

Stair risers are the vertical surfaces between stair treads and are an important part of the overall appearance of a finished staircase. The appropriate riser treatment depends on the existing stair construction, selected flooring material and project requirements.
