Hard-surface stairs
Wood or coordinated hard-surface components can create continuity with halls and living areas when suitable for the stair.
Connecting every level

The service
A stair is both a surface and an architectural connection.
Stairs sit between materials, levels and major sightlines. Their flooring should relate to the hall and main floor while responding to concentrated foot traffic, edge details, comfort and safe use.
Courneya Flooring coordinates stair flooring as part of appropriate flooring projects. The exact construction, existing stair and desired finish determine what solutions can be considered.
What is considered
Three coordinated stair directions
The strongest approach depends on the stair construction, adjoining floors and project scope.
Fully carpeted stairs
Carpet can add softness, acoustic control and a visually continuous surface from tread to riser.
Carpet runners
A runner introduces textile comfort while allowing the stair edges or underlying finish to remain visible.
Nosings & edges
Profile, compatibility, wear and the transition from landing to first tread require precise planning.
Colour continuity
The stair can match, bridge or intentionally contrast the floors above and below.
Wear & maintenance
Traffic patterns, households, pets and cleaning expectations help shape material selection.
A considered sequence
Connect the stair to both levels.
Stairs are reviewed as part of the circulation path, not as an isolated strip of flooring.
Assess
Review stair construction, current finish, shape, landings and visible edges.
Coordinate
Compare material and colour with the hall, main floor and upper level.
Detail
Confirm nosings, runner width where relevant, transitions and project-specific finishing scope.
Install
Sequence the stair work with connected flooring and household access.
Clarity before work begins
Stair-specific questions matter
Broad stair flooring and coordination are within scope; specific refinishing or ancillary work is only included when expressly confirmed.
- Open or closed stair construction
- Treads, risers and landings
- Runner or full carpet
- Nosings and edge profiles
- Upper and lower flooring
- Access during installation

Questions before the project
Clear answers, defined scope.
Can stairs be included in a flooring project?
Yes. Courneya Flooring handles stair flooring and coordination where it forms part of the project, subject to the stair construction, materials and agreed scope.
Should stairs match the main floor?
They can match, but they do not always need to. A coordinated tone, carpet runner or deliberate transition may connect levels more effectively than an exact material match.
Can carpet be installed on stairs?
Carpet can be considered as a full stair covering or runner. Fibre, construction, edge treatment, pattern and the existing stair all influence suitability.
Does Courneya Flooring refinish existing wood stairs?
Do not assume refinishing is included. Courneya Flooring coordinates stair flooring as part of flooring projects; any refinishing or additional finishing work must be specifically reviewed and confirmed.
How are stair nosings selected?
Nosings must work with the chosen flooring, stair profile, finished height and visual direction. Exact options depend on the material system and stair conditions.
