- 0:37–0:41 Install Stair Nose Trim
From How to Get a Hardwood Look on Carpeted Stairs, Step 8: Install Stair Nosing (if applicable)
After the laminate tread is installed, apply a bead of construction adhesive along the front edge where the new laminate tread meets the riser. Position the custom-cut stair nose trim piece, which provides a finished edge and extends slightly over the riser below. Press it firmly into place. Use the nail gun to secure the stair nose trim, typically by nailing down into the tread and potentially into the riser. Apply clamps across the newly installed stair nose to hold it tightly against the tread and riser until the adhesive has fully cured. Repeat the entire process for each stair, working your way down the staircase.

0:01 part five of upstairs upgrade where we are transforming my entire upstairs from the stairs it was the part of the product that I was dreading getting this laminate to work on my stair treads instead of altering the original tread in any way I just opted to lay the laminate directly over the tread this meant cutting a lot of trim pieces because this particular flooring doesn't come with a stair tread you have to cut down the laminate flooring and then add a trim piece my brain was like so many custom cuts we used a table saw and a miter saw to cut down all of the stair risers and the trim for the front of the stair bow nose so this is the tread and you can see that it's two different pieces of laminate that I have cut down to side every single tread took two boards of laminate that we custom cut and then glued to the stair once that was in place we added the stairnose trim to the front of the stair and glued and nailed it into place I added clamps just to make sure it was super secure and then let it cure before moving on to the next step and then I started slowly working my way down the stairs I ended
0:48 up batch cutting a lot of the pieces because it was just so complicated each stair was ever so slightly different there was about an eighth or a 16th inch difference for every single stair tread the last part of the project was finishing up the landing I needed to make
