FINISHING LVP STAIR TREADS WITH TILE RISERS
When installing Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) on stair treads with tile risers, a clean and professional finish is essential for both safety and design. Here are recommended finishing options:
1. Stair Nose Molding (Best Practice):
- Use a coordinating stair nose to cap the front edge of the tread.
- Choose between overlapping or flush mount styles.
2. Schluter Edge Trim:
- Ideal for clean transitions between tile and LVP.
- Metal trims (like Schluter Rondec or Jolly) offer modern looks and durability.
3. Caulk and Paint Match (Budget Option):
- Use color-matched caulk to seal the edge temporarily.
- Not recommended for long-term durability.
4. Decorative Wood Trim:
- Adds character and softness to transitions.
- Works well with transitional and warm design styles.
Always ensure stair nose molding is used on treads for safety and to prevent wear.
