Hey nice job. Straightforward and instructional without a bunch of unnecessary commentary. Good job 👍🏻
Nice video, no that much talking, direct to the point. Very illustrative. Thanks!
This is great stuff. Helped me out a lot on some stairs that I am about to begin working on. Thanks man hope to see more videos of yours I just subscribed!!
He explained the process really well and didnt bore me
Good job well done guys
Thank you for showing. Love it.
Thank y’all I’m currently working on my steps was looking at videos.liked your tips.Aloha from Texas,my brother lives in Aiea.owner Of El Charro Mexicano restaurant..
I like your job. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Beautiful work!
Great video
Very helpful and informative
A big thanks
Nice job. I did pretty much the same thing. With same colors and stair nose.
Thanks for the info bro… time to tackle my stairs!
This was helpful. Thank you!
Looks good thanks for the video!
Looks great!
Incredible detail, my man! Thank you so much! 🙏 Excellent information and video!
Awesome job ❤
Looks good man
Very informative and helpful
excellent video!
Thank you so much sir, I learned a lot.
Great video!
THE MOST HELPFUL VIDEO !! Thank you for the details and information! And great video angles too. I appreciate you explaining what you did and why. Now I have confidence to try this out
Great Video TY!!!
Zamma has a stair tread system that I typically use, it is by far the fastest and easiest way (in my opinion). Especially if someone does not like the look of the transition from the plank to the nosing. Great video though, love it!
I’m going to try and tackle my stairs on a weekend project. Thank you for sharing I learned a lot from this!!
Thanks for this! I learned a lot
Awesome 💖
Thank you so much for sharing
Can you share the link for the vinyl floor cutter in the description too please! Thanks! Seems like everyone is asking!
Great job! I gave you a thumbs up and subscribed. Thanks so much! My suggestion is to add a link for all tools needed and how to do the landing with the piece against wall and tell us for 3200 sqf how many boxes of luxury vinal planks was used how many people did the job and how long it took. 😁😁💗💗 god bless u. You are awesome!
Im trying to figure out the way to do a top stair, and balcony finish with the nose tread
I would recommend peel off that rubber backing though prior to glue up for better adhesion
nice job
Good presentation
Nice video, great narration. Smooth video
do you have to remove the foam backing when gluing to the stairs?
How come you didn't show the bullnose install ?
The life proof vinyl planks I got have the underlayment underneath. I
purchased the stair nose and it came with tracks that need screwed down.
Can I still use the vinyl planks with the underlayment for my stairs
and risers? What adhesive do you recommend?
Just to be clear, you cut the male connector side off to have a clean edge on the bottom and then you trimmed (ripped) it to length (height) on the top edge of the riser and capped it off with the corner edge (nose) piece?
Hey Boss, great video! Our supplier said we can't do the stairs to match with vinyl plank. After seeing this video I say you proved them wrong. What is the material called that you used for the bull nose or to cover the corver of each stairs? Or maybe a link to one so I get the general idea? Thank you!
Very Nice Sir.
Please show us hpw to do first floor over concrete and 2nd floor bedroom and hallway as well.
Nice job. Can you share some info about this cutter. Thx
From the top edge of the flooring do you leave a space for putting the nosing? Should The flooring be finish first before the work on the stairs start? That’s why I need to know how much space from the edge of the flooring for the top nosing to be put?
How many boxes was used on the stairs, looks good -thanks for the tips I’m about to upgrade our ugly stairs
How do you install the nose edge on top?
impressive
Great video! What’s the name of the cutter you use. Thanks
Great job
How soon can you walk on it
@@miguelmurray6509 depends on the glue you get, but I recommend a least 12 hours. In the case of this video we let it dry over night.
Where u buy the stair nose Moulding Like that
Hello, do you also use glue when you want to put your vinyl on cement or pavements ?
thanks for this. but you never show how put the front edge on the steps
No andas ddgi
It's glued it's stair nose
Was thinking the same thing. Never showed putting down the tread either. How much space did you leave for the nosing. Is the nosing glued to the vinyl plank or the subfloor or both?
@@TheScandalTV glue a piece of flooring to the riser and then just butt the stair nose to it use a construction adhesive and done step on it till it's setup
@@crawlerx1818 ok thanks. So the nosing doesn’t overlap the vinyl plank on the tread?
Super👍
Hey what did you use for the bull nose on the thread I didn’t see that part
Using product that is fairly popular always had options for matching stair nosing and evening matching quarter round sometimes
Nice
What are you doing with the gap between some steps and risers ?
What model of vinyl cutter did you use?
damn, I wish I saw this video before using a mitre saw and table saw to cut almost all my plnaks. I have some gaps on the sides, a lot of mess to clean and vacuum and wasted pieces from making incorrect cuts. This method looks way cleaner, both in mess and precision and probably a lot faster too!
What is the band of the vinyl cutter? Nice work btw
I have VLP on my downstairs floor and I wanted to add it to the stairs. This is one of the best videos that I have found for what I want to do! Only difference is that I want to have white risers. I'm going to look for that template tool! Also, what is the cutting tool you used?
Thank you! I love white risers. It gives it a clean look! The tool you can find it in amazon as well. You can type Vinyl Floor Cutter. Recommend to get the one that has a curve. It allows you to make long cuts. Like the one you see in the video.
THANK U
Hello Kaimi Construction. What make/model is that cutter you are using? Thank you
Looks great! What did you use for the stair nose?
I have that same cutting tool but when I tried going longways like you it would crack the material at the end of the cut. 😩
where do the stair nosing come from
Great video. I just ordered the tools. Did you buy the nosed stair tread or did you make it?
How can you remunerate a job on stairs as they pay? I would appreciate your opinion
Do you have link for the vinyl cutter that you are using
NEVER WAS N NEVER WILL B A FAN OF QUARTER ROUND WHEN IT'S PERSONAL PREFERENCE BUT BASEBOARD SIT'N ON THE FLOOR'N LOOK'S ALOT KLEANER 🙋🏿♂️🙋🏿♂️🙋🏿♂️🙋🏿♂️
Agree!
How do you cover the edges of the stair. Would you mind do other video step by step especially the edges, thank you.
¹
Those are called bullnose. You order them to match the plank. They take about 4 to 5 weeks to be made sometimes.
You guys are really good. I didn't know they had a machine to cut it. I've been using chop saw for 7 plus years 😒
If he use the rigid core it doesn’t work though. I use a table saw
Doesn’t work as good when you get into higher quality products.
What tool do I use to cut vinyl or plastic stair nose?
@Kimi Construction Hawaii
What brand vinyl are you using please?
wy is the node piece taller than the floor plank??
Overall a good job. I think you should do another but be more methodical in your approach to the video so that you include the steps. I messed up when I did mine as I didn't realise I should keep that gap for the bullnose. You should have shown the bullnose going in. Also on the half landings why did you leave that bit of baseboard there - it would be better to have removed that and put it in place over the flooring - just saying. Great job though
This is a floating floor, and this material expands alot when it gets warm in the house then contracts small again when it's cool. Even when your gluing you should have a little space on each side do it can move. If iui t cant expand to vfc the sides when its warm, the only way to go is up. And can make the planks all come apart
Vinyl plank barely expands, nowhere near as much as wood, won’t have any problems with expanding and contracting
Lvp doesn’t expand if it’s spc or rigid. Wpc might a tad but it’s not wood. Your comment applies mostly to wood
He’s in Hawaii. It’s pretty constant year round, and always humid
Where did you purchase the stair nose to match the existing flooring color?
I purchased mine with the flooring
those stair nose hold up with just glue?
Starting this project now but having a problem with finding vinyl planks without a backing. Anybody know if you can still use glue even with an attached backing?
I would either peel the rubber backing off which is sometimes can be an easy task or belt sanded off with 60 grit
This provides better adhesion overall
Can you share the color & brand of the floor please
Can i make a suggestion that makes it faster. Instead of using a pencil, scribe with a sharp knife on both sides and break the ends after. You get a perfect cut
good video man. appreciate it - do one for the stair nosing too
How you did the stair nosing ?
What model laminate cutter did you use?
Great video, however, when installing the nosing, does it go over the tread and riser or butt up to it?
Yes it goes over the tread. It is an Overlap Stairnose. There are overlap and flush stairnoses.
I only use my measure tape , a square and dewalt knife to score it and then you just fold it and there you have it
How does it call the one that goes at the edge?
What are you using to score/cut the planks? I was thinking of doing miter saw but this looks like a much better option
You can definitely use a miter saw. But in this video I am using a vinyl flooring cutter. You can find some in amazon. there is a lot of different kinds. Vinyl flooring cutters have a better clean cut and less mess.
A utility knife will work too on vinyl flooring, it will be a little harder but you can crack it down pretty easy. Always use the proper protective equipment.
What was the total cost for this project?
How long did it take to complete project?
Thank you for the video. It is very informative! I will want to do my own stairs as it doesn't look that hard. You have great tools and I really like the template. What is that actually called so that I can find it on Amazon? Thank you 🙂
They are called stair scribes
Thank you!
What's the name of the cutter? Like that cutter on the floor?
Looks beautiful! Do you use a pin nailer for the vinyl planks on the stairs or only glue? thank you!
Only Glue. Sometimes I use finishing nails 18GA
they sell stair nose piece at home depot/lowes??
dont u need to leave a little gap at the edges of each step for expansion. Like they tell u to leave a 1/4 inch gap around the perimeter of a room if i am not mistaken
I believe since the steps are so small in length and width that it is not necessary plus they are glued. I'm not 100% but I had the same question and this is what I suspect.
No because it is not wood and synthetic doesn’t stretch plus it’s got its own glue on the back of the tile the extra he has put on probably so it doesn’t bubble
I don't think is necessary on this case. Plus there have been tests online that this vinyl flooring doesnot expand with time at all. I agree to that.
I also do this for a living and on steps you do not need expansion but in a room especially near a sliding glass door you need expansion because the heat from the sun makes this material expand its happen to me one time learned my lesson.
what about expansion?
Do you have to remove the foam on the back of the vinyl before gluing down?
No need.
If you leave the padding attached it will eventually breakdown and pull away from the adhesive. You should absolutely remove the padding (at least from the risers, the treads will probably stay put)
@@kaimiconstructionhawaii3229
Do I still need to use the template if I don't have a wall on one side? I have one step in living room that needs lvp. Step it's against one wall but no wall on the other side.
Just hold a board there flush against the step and measure to that. Then you can add a nose around that wide of the stair as well, and add a corner piece connecting the two nose sections.
The stair nose, it's bullnosed correct? Do you leave that bull nosed edge void? What I mean is, is there open space in the round edge? Does it move or flex when kicked with a toe or stepped on?
Shannon at houseimprovenents put a cut round piece of wood inside the bull nose to give strength and longevity
Here is my question. I am doing some stairs with this stuff is it normal for the floor to look like its separating from the stairnose trim?
Cuál fue el modelo de la cortadora de vinyl
Did you use the same glue for the stair nose overlap? do you need to use nails as well? Also, when you start a stair do you start with riser, then step then the stair nose so it can overlap? thank you again on a great video
Yes I use the same glue. Power grab. It is very good. You always do the risers first.
@@kaimiconstructionhawaii3229 if you start with a riser, how can the tread fit under it? Doesn't the riser sit on top of the tread?
I meant you always start with the tread. You are right o'connor
