Laminate on stairs
Q: I am having laminate installed on my stairs and the stair treads. I have been told that for the sides I can get oak veneer, stain and varnish it to match the laminate, then cut the laminate to match the sides of the stairs, but also have been told that it is nearly impossible to do a good job cutting a 8 ft pice to fit on the sides because every stair will have to be measured separately and most stairs are not perfect. The house was built in 1980. We live outside Edmonton. Do you have any ideas of an easier way?
A: Honestly, I wouldn’t install laminate on stairs. I would either cover them with 3/4 thick hardwood or new slabs. I would recommend hiring a stair professional for this job.
