- Stairs
- Luxury vinyl plank
- Overlap tread
The forgiving alternative to a flush stair nose: an overlap profile that laps over the cut edge of a floating LVP or laminate tread, hiding the plank end and expansion gap in one color-matched piece. It installs more easily than a flush nose because the tread need not butt perfectly, at the cost of a small raised lip instead of a seamless step line.
Pros
- Overlap lip laps over the cut edge of a floating LVP tread, hiding the plank end and expansion gap in one piece
- Color-matched to Zamma's large range of vinyl and laminate lines, so it blends with common floors
- More forgiving to install than a flush nose because the tread plank does not have to butt perfectly to it
Cons
- The overlapping lip creates a small raised edge instead of the seamless flush look
- Only fits stair tread edges, so it is useless as a floor-to-floor transition
- At about $42 for a 94 in stick, a full staircase adds up quickly
