Description
The flush-mount
stairnose, or "step down" as it is sometimes referred to; 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 flush-mount stairnose is also referred
to as a step-down, step-nose, nosing, or landing tread,
especially in the 5" wide version.

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 tongue of the flooring only - do not
install the top lip over the floorcovering
-
The
stairnose must be installed so the flat section on the
rear underside of the piece is resting squarely against
the vertical transition or riser
-
Only the
"bullnose" portion of the stairnose should overhang and
be visible from the next lowest elevation
