Description
The overlap
stairnose is very similar to the
flush-mount stairnose as it transitions different elevations of floorcovering
where the floors are separated by a vertical transition.
The pleasing visual effect created by using this transition
gives the illusion of the wood floorcovering overhanging the
lower level. A great example of this is at the top of
a staircase. This stairnose allows a clean transition
and simulates an installed stairtread on the top landing.
The stairnose is also useful in landings and sunken rooms
where there is wood floorcovering installed on the higher
elevation. The primary difference between an overlap
stairnose and a flush-mount stairnose is the lip at the rear of
the profile that "overlaps" the wood floorcovering. This
lip actually covers the face of the floorcovering and provides
support for the terminating board of the floorcovering.
The overlap stairnose should always be installed so that the
piece is resting squarely on top of the floorcovering, an
improperly installed overlap stairnose can flex or break and
possibly create a trip hazard. As with other overlapping
profiles, the overlap stairnose is almost exclusively used in
floating floor applications. The floorcovering should not
be adhered to the overlap stairnose as to allow for the natural
expansion and contraction of the floor.

Finish
-
Machine finished in our facility
-
The finish has added UV inhibitors to reduce the
effects of ambering.
-
Moulding Solutions uses only environmentally friendly, VOC
compliant finishes. Our high solids, high build finishes are
machine applied and quick cured through various methods
including chemical reaction and energy based methods. The
result is an even coat along the entire length of the
product. Our finishes have an added UV absorber to prolong
the life of the finish and resist ambering, or
"yellowing"
of the product from age. The resulting product will last
for years to come.
Installation
-
Proper
installation is detailed in the image at the
top of this page
-
Be sure the lip
covers the surface of the flooring - this profile
provides structural support to the flooring system and
should cover the face of the board

CAD sheets are a 1:1 drawing in
Adobe .PDF format that allows you to view and print each
profile. This can be especially useful when comparing
different product profiles or determining product
suitability for a particular application.
