Stair Nosings
A stair nosing, stair nose or stair tread nosing, is the horizontal part that extends beyond the riser for approximately an inch. Its purpose is to enhance the safety of the staircase by providing users more space for step on. Stair nosings or noses offered by manufacturers to match their hardwood, vinyl plank, laminate or cork flooring products are usually quite standard, meaning they can’t accommodate stairs with more complex designs.
While pre-manufactured hardwood stair nosings don’t suffer the same problems mentioned above, there are still reasons why you would want them custom made. Laminate and vinyl floorings can be manipulated and bent more easily, but hardwood is solid. So if you have stairs or landing that are irregularly shaped, curved or angled, these standard products offered by manufacturers won’t fit, at least not elegantly. We, on the other hand, make them just to fit your staircase. Any cut edge that’s showing will be stained to match to provide a fine finish.
Flush Vents
Floor mounted air vent covers are usually one of the things you’ll need to consider when getting new flooring. Depending on the flooring manufacturer you choose, they may not offer matching air vent grilles, and even if they did, chances are they aren’t flush mount ones.
Air Return Vents
We custom make our return air grilles out of solid wood instead of metal, which means they won’t bend when they’re accidentally bumped into. Not only can they be painted any colour you like, we can also stain them to give your home a more elegant, refined look. Since they are custom made, we can make them any size, shape and thickness you like. For example, take a look at the picture in the product gallery, where an oversized cold air return cover is custom fitted to blend into the wood flooring. There is no way that using standard, store bought return air grilles can achieve the same custom, designer home look.
Transitions
T-mould and reducer, unless you plan to install the same flooring throughout the entire home, you will need flooring transitions. Transition moldings are strips that cover the gaps between floor areas, and provide seamless transition between them.
