Stair nose molding is used to provide a clean, safe, and finished edge where flooring meets the edge of stairs or step-downs. Here’s where it is commonly used:
1. At the Edge of Staircases:
- Installed at the edge of each step to create a smooth transition from the flooring to the stair riser.
- Enhances safety by reducing sharp edges and providing a slip-resistant surface.
2. Step-Down Areas:
- Used at step-downs or landings where there is a change in floor elevation, such as between a raised living room and a lower hallway.
3. Where Flooring Meets Staircases:
- Creates a polished finish where flooring, like laminate, vinyl, or hardwood, meets the edge of a staircase.
Benefits:
- Improves safety by reducing trip hazards.
- Protects the edges of stairs from wear and damage.
- Provides a professional, finished appearance.
Note: Stair nose molding is essential for ensuring durability and aesthetics when flooring is installed on staircases or elevated edges.
