Stair threshhold

[robbie77]

Hi

I need to add a stair threshhold to bridge the height difference of the floor and stairs. The floor is engineered and I bought a thresh when I bought the floor but wasn't sure what to get so took a punt.
So can I / should I use the purchased threshold strip of get something more suitable?

It looks like I can tack down the white plastic rail and slide the cut down thresh onto it. But to get it to fit I am going to have to remove most of the green fibre on the straight edge and somehow come up with a pretty joint!? The thresh must need to sit on top of the floor but only a small part of it so there is only a small ridge?
The floor has some bounce as I put some thin foam sub layer underneath it so will need to be fixed down but understand it needs to move. If it's easier / neater to buy something else then I will do that? Any suggestions.. Thanks

Looks like you have purchased a reducer profile instead of a stair nosing that would fit over the lip of the existing stair nose. A reducer in that area I would think could potentially be dangerous and cause a slip issue?

Agreed. Thanks. I will go to the timber shop and get some stair nosing. Would you just nail it to the subfloor or glue it?

Ideally both, but many glue for aesthetic reasons.

Toor roght it would. The nosing must be the same height as the grest of the finished floor
