LVP can be used on stairs, but safety and durability are paramount. You must use compatible stair nosing to secure the edges and transition between the tread and riser. Adhesive must be applied to the entire surface of the tread and riser to prevent planks from shifting or separating. Ensure the sub-treads are flat and structurally sound before starting. Always follow the manufacturer’s specific instructions for stair installations to ensure a safe, lasting result.
