Flush Stair Nosing in Calgary

Elevate your stairs with precision-crafted nosings.

Our flush stair nosings are meticulously made from your chosen flooring material—be it hardwood, vinyl, or engineered flooring. This approach ensures a perfect match, creating a seamless transition from floor to stair. The result is a polished, unified aesthetic that enhances the overall appeal of your home.

The stair nose is the most punished piece of trim in the house and the most visible. Every step lands on it, and on an open staircase you see the full run of them from the room below. A stock nosing in a near-enough colour draws the eye to every single tread. One milled from your own flooring simply disappears into the staircase.

Why ours are different

  • Milled from your flooring for an exact grain and colour match
  • Flush profile — no raised lip and no trip hazard
  • Built for the daily impact a staircase takes
  • Overlap and square-nose profiles both available
  • Matching risers and stringers available on request

How To Order

Ordering stair nosing, step by step.


  1. 01

    Bring your flooring in

    Stair nosing uses more material than a vent does. Plan on roughly one plank per tread, and bring it all in one trip.

  2. 02

    Measure every tread

    Stairs are rarely identical, especially in older homes. We ask for each tread individually rather than assuming.

  3. 03

    We mill the profile

    Each nosing is shaped to your tread depth and flooring thickness, then finished to match.

  4. 04

    Install

    Collect the nosings from the shop ready to fit. Your installer glues and pins them in the usual way.

Common Questions

Questions we're asked about stair nosing.

Can you match flooring I bought years ago?

If you have leftover material, yes — that's the whole method, and it works no matter how old the floor is. Without offcuts, an exact match to a discontinued product is genuinely difficult, and we'd rather say so than sell you a near-miss.

What's the difference between flush and overlap nosing?

Flush nosing sits level with the tread for a continuous surface and a cleaner look. Overlap nosing sits on top of the flooring and is more forgiving of an uneven substrate. We make both and will tell you which suits your staircase.

Do you do the installation?

We manufacture. Most of our work goes to flooring contractors and installers who fit it themselves. If you need someone to install it, ask and we'll point you toward installers in the Calgary area who use our pieces regularly.

How many stairs can you do at once?

There's no practical cap. We regularly supply full staircases and multi-unit builds. Larger runs just need more of your material and a little more lead time.
