Laminate flooring on stairs

[slithytove]

Has anyone done this and does anyone have an idea of pricing?

You run the risk of slips......

I have wooden stairs and we have had to paint them with proper floor paint as tfey were so slippey
I've had laminate on a normal floor and found it very slippery

It will be the only area with carpet in the house so will definitely be changing it, just looking at an alternative to hardwood.
Quick step do a stairs range and presumably it’s passed safety checks.

Carpet is safer and quiet on stairs. But it's your money to waste.

Kardean might be ok.

I have oak stairs and they are no more slippery than carpet. Wear shoes!

So has anyone done it and has an idea of pricing?!

Don't do it! Noisy, slippy, and cold.

But surely THE NOISE

Ha ok! So what are my alternatives? Wooden flooring in downstairs hallway, mixtures of laminate and wood elsewhere, what on Earth do I have on my stairs?

Carpet. I'd have carpet in your stairs and landing.

My flooring guy said he always refused to put hard flooring on stairs. How about a plain runner?

Do you have neighbours? Do you care if you disturb them? If so, do NOT laminate your stairs! The noise for everyone within earshot will be horrific.

My Dsis had hardwood stairs and they were deadly in anything but bare feet!
She covered then in carpet within a few months!

Nice wood with a runner and stair rods. Look on Pinterest for ideas.

Honestly. Carpet. Maybe a runner and stair rods?
But having tried without, carpet is the only thing.

No - we did it in our previous house (pre Kids) and it was a slippy nightmare. Dread to think what it would be like with children....

Same dilemma here. Have EW all through downstairs and also want wood or laminate upstairs. think we will go with contemporary look carpet on stairs and landing and then wood in the bedrooms. there were some good photos in one of my magazines. Will post for you if I find them.

Photos would be good. Noise isn’t an issue for others as we are detached.

Oddly enough we had carpet in our bedroom and that was far far louder than the laminate with good underlay we have now.

A runner might be an option but not much point going to the expense.
