Lifeproof Stair Nose Doesn't Match? Here's the Fix

You finished the floor, got to the stairs, and found out the matching Lifeproof stair nose either doesn't exist for your color or looks a shade off. It's the most common call we get.

Why the factory piece rarely matches

Factory nosing is made in separate runs from the plank, often with a different print and an overlap profile that leaves a lip. Many lines don't offer one at all.

The fix: bend your own plank

Bring one plank per stair to Nampa or Idaho Falls. We heat it and form it in a bending brake, so the nose has the exact print, texture and wear layer of your floor. $35 a step, same or next day.

What else you'll need

Each step also gets a flat back fill and a riser, both straight cuts from the same flooring. Glue everything with Roberts 7350 Universal.
