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.
