LVT Stair Nose & Trim

LVT moldings in two halves

The vinyl trim range splits exactly in two. Transitions are the profiles that work along a floor: where it meets a wall, a doorway, another floor or nothing at all. Stair nosing is the profile that goes down a step.

Nothing sits in both groups, which makes the first question easy. If the edge is on the level, it is a transition; if it goes down, it is nosing.

Two ways into the LVT trim range

Someone who has chosen a floor wants the trim that goes with it. Someone standing in a doorway wants to know what that doorway needs. Those are different questions and the catalog answers them from different directions.

This collection takes the first: start with vinyl, and everything here belongs to it. The flooring trim page takes the second, sorting by the edge condition regardless of what the floor is made of.

Matched to a specific floor

Vinyl trim is normally made by the maker of the floor, in the same print and finish, which is how a doorway ends up looking deliberate rather than approximate. A print is the reason it has to be that exact: two boards can share a color name and still show a different grain.

Why that makes the range so large, and why trim is worth ordering with the floor, is on the flooring trim page.

LVT molding thickness

Vinyl planks come in a range of thicknesses, and trim is made to sit against a particular one. A profile cut for a rigid core plank will stand proud of a thin dryback tile, and one cut for the thin tile will leave the edge of the thicker plank showing.

It is the reason trim is chosen from the same range as the floor rather than by color alone, and it is the thing most easily missed when the two are bought at different times.

Which profiles a vinyl floor needs

The same ones any floor needs: something at the wall, something at each doorway, something where two floors meet, and nosing plus risers on any stairs.

The flooring trim page sets out those conditions and which profile answers each. This page and its two halves are the same range filtered to vinyl.
