Wood floor on stair... HELP?

Question

Can I install wood floor on stairs?

Is there any how to so I can take a look at?

Thanks a lot,

Answer 1

You can get stair caps made from the same hardwood as a wood floor. But, they are very expensive, because they have to be custom made. You're looking at more than $100 (depending on size and shape) per step and that doesn't include installation.

Here's a price list from a hardwood step company:

This site has a few pictures at the bottom of installed hardwood steps.

Answer 2

you need new stairs with treads to match the wood floor. you can't add wood flooring to the existing stairs. the first step would be 3/4 inch higher than the rest

Answer 3

You may need to remove the existing tread, you may also have to remove the skirt board that runs along the wall, and you may also have to cut the bull nose - See more at: http://www.miconstruguia.com/en/how-to-install-hardwood-stairs/
