Red Oak Golden Oak Landing Tread 72 in

A:That's a great question and a very common one as well. If you are installing laminate on the upper level of your home, we recommend using the flooring manufacturer's "stairnose" to use along the edge where your flooring meets the staircase. Our landing treads are designed to be used with standard 3/4" solid wood flooring. Laminate flooring typically requires a special overlap profile to secure the flooring and our standard 3/4" landing tread is not recommended. In short - if you are installing laminate, we recommend ordering a single stairnose or landing tread from your flooring supplier instead of this landing tread. As far as installing the flooring, you may find it easiest to run the flooring parallel to the stairnose because of the tongue configuration. Officially, flooring should be run parallel to the front of the house or perpendicular to the flooring joists. Unfortunately, we only have the landing tread or 3/4" nosing at this point in time - not the thresholds for doorways. Again, we recommend you purchase those transition pieces from the flooring supplier who should keep them in stock.
