Waterproof Vinyl Stairs, Finished With Nosings That Actually Match

Stairs need to be waterproof, scratch-resistant, and quiet all at the same time, and vinyl is really the only material that checks all three boxes. For households with kids, dogs, or basement stairs that see snowmelt and grocery bags every day, it holds up longer than hardwood or carpet without ever looking worn.

Above Grade Flooring installs luxury vinyl plank stairs throughout the South Denver Metro using the same plank going down in the adjoining room, so the staircase reads as one continuous floor rather than a separate project bolted on.

Vinyl stair jobs usually fail one of two ways - planks lifting at the nosing from weak adhesion, or every step squeaking because the substrate wasn't prepped properly. We use a polyurethane construction adhesive along with hidden mechanical fasteners behind the nosing, and we skim-coat and level every tread before the plank goes down. The staircase ends up feeling as solid as hardwood, without any of hardwood's upkeep.
