Help with stairs
My father in law installed LVP on our stairs. When he installed, he cut the bullnose to shorten the tread and put a stair nose on that was raised. Eventually stair noses were popping off and in general hard to step on because uncomfortable and super loud. We removed all of them and are looking to replace the tread with a cap that includes the bullnose. Immediately walking up and down is nearly silent, but we need a wider stair. Are there any solutions that don’t include buying a new tread? Looking at the cost of treads available in store. How do we know if we can replace the tread that’s already there with a wider one and then cover with carpet? If we purchase a tread, we know we’d have to reduce the width of a new tread to match ours, but it should add width by extending a bullnose? Are there any less complicated solutions? Photo is current state Any help is appreciated! submitted by /u/Intelligent-Rice-906 [link] [comments]
