October 31, 20169 yr Author Why not use the laminate all the way up the steps and for the floor at the top? Everything would be nice and even. Good question Dan. When I purchased the flooring a couple weeks back I nearly did purchase the laminate treads. But when I asked them about the three open ended treads they said those would not be laminate, but plywood instead. When I asked about the bottom tread which has a return they said it would have to be custom made, also plywood. When I asked about the top step, that was also going to be unfinished wood. So I could see different looking treads and such not matching. Then I seen the retro pieces at Lowes. At least using these, they would all stain the same. Cal BTW - I got a reply from LL regarding the piece I posted above: My question - could I use that piece with laminate flooring? Answer: “Potentially yes however most laminates will have matching stair-nose.” Tech & Install from Lumber Liquidators
