Staircase LVP installations involve more than just laying planks. Each step must be prepared as a rigid sub-structure. You must use specialized nosing profiles that provide the required overhang and secure fit for the leading edge of the stair. The planks should be glued down using a high-quality, permanent adhesive rather than relying on floating installation methods, which can shift under foot traffic. Professional assessment of the existing stair structure is vital to ensure that the LVP installation remains safe and stable.
