Installing LVP on stairs is significantly different than a floor installation. Because stairs experience high force during use, planks must be bonded to the tread with a permanent, full-spread adhesive rather than relying on floating installation methods. Proper stair nosing is critical for both finish aesthetics and safety, ensuring there is no overhang or tripping hazard. The subfloor must be perfectly flat, and all edges must be sealed to provide a stable, long-lasting surface.
