Stair Flooring FAQs

How should I install stair flooring?

The best way to install stair flooring depends on the type you’ve chosen. Carpets are typically fitted using gripper rods and underlay, while laminate, LVT, and engineered wood require careful measuring and cutting. We can arrange installation with professional fitters, giving you peace of mind that you’ll get a safe, seamless finish. 

How do I install laminate flooring on a stair landing?

Laminate flooring can be installed on a stair landing just like it would be in any other room. Before fitting, make sure the subfloor is clean, dry, and level. You’ll then need to lay down your laminate underlay, and begin clicking your hallway laminate planks together. While laminate is largely DIY-friendly, professional installation is recommended for a seamless finish, especially if you’re continuing the laminate onto tricky areas like the stairs. 

How should I match stair railing with new flooring?

When choosing your new stair flooring, it’s important to think about how it will complement your railings as well as the rest of your home. Light wood flooring pairs well with natural oak railings, whereas a darker floor matches richer wood finishes. Then, you can bring everything together with coordinating wall colours, runners, and accessories. 

Which flooring is best for stairs?

Carpet remains the top choice when it comes to slip resistance on the stairs, and it’s also great for absorbing sound from footsteps. LVT is scratch resistant and easy to clean – consider textured slip resistant LVT to reduce trips and slips. When it comes to cheap stair flooring ideas, laminate is a top choice, as its budget-friendly, durable and easy to clean.
