I have a short stairwell inside my townhome currently carpeted. The stairwell leads up and into the main living space. I looked under the carpet and the stairs are just pine wood. Rather than replace the carpet, I thought I would consider wood stairs. SInce the cost of hardwood is high, I wanted to see if anyone has had or could advise on using pergo flooring to cover the stairs.
I have plenty of left-over flooring left from the kitchen/living room that is in good shape. I wanted to see if I could use this to cover our stairs. My in-laws recently had a new pergo or floating floor put in their kitchen and the carpenter did the stairs leading to the basement as well. I noticed there was an end-cap on the edge with some moulding to fill in the corners. Apparently the carpenter used an adhesive to hold the "pergo" in place.
Does anyone have any insight, experience, or advice on such a job. I also should mention that there is a significant temperature change at the base of the stairs since there is no heat moved down there at the opening of the home. In the winter it can get quite cold.
