flooring on stairs

[jeremy]

Hi all,

I'm looking to lay either hardwood T&G or the laminate click flooring over stairs. Currently the stairs are just plain wood. (Just installed).

My problem is that the tread overhangs the riser and has a rounded edge on it. How do I get around this?

What is the 'correct' way of laying flooring on stairs,

Cheers,
Jeremy.

You should prolly have specified what timber you wanted when you had them made.

I wouldnt put any sort of floating floor over stairs, its asking for trouble, as in, someone tripping down the stairs.

If you cover the tread what do you intend to do with the riser, look a bit odd doing just the tread methinks.

How you address the rounded overhang depends on what you do with the riser.
