Installing luxury vinyl plank (LVP) on stairs is a common design choice, but it requires specific considerations for safety and performance. You must verify that the chosen LVP is rated for stair installation by the manufacturer. Securely bonding planks to the stair tread is mandatory, typically requiring specialized adhesives. Furthermore, proper stair nose molding must be installed on every step to cover the edge and provide a safe, flush transition. Always prioritize using products designed for vertical surfaces to avoid slippage.
