Specifications:

Designed for floating floors
Fit over a 5/4 thick tread (1 nominal)
Potential square nose version for up to 1-1/2 thick tread
Requires Mannington Triple StickTM adhesive

Product Usage Instructions:

Pre-installation Preparation:

Before installing the stair treads, ensure that the existing
flooring is removed down to the bare tread. Any paint on the stairs
must be scraped off to ensure a proper bond with Mannington Triple
StickTM Adhesive.

Installation Process:

1. Begin by acclimating the stair treads to the job site,
although it is not required for an extended period.

2. Install the stair treads over the designated 5/4 thick tread
following the provided installation instructions for floating
floors, ensuring proper expansion space is maintained.

3. Use Mannington Triple StickTM adhesive as recommended.
Alternative adhesives may void the warranty and bond coverage.

Additional Considerations:

– For steps wider than 48 inches, special accommodations may be
necessary.

– If a carpet tread/runner needs to be attached, ensure it is
securely fixed through to the existing step.

– When dealing with small landings, full glue them using Triple
StickTM or Ultra Spread EZ for a flush installation.

– Spindles should be removed and reinstalled after installing
the new stair treads.

– For rounded bottom steps, consider squaring or shaping them to
accommodate the nose profile.

FAQs:

Q. Can the top step be flush mount instead of overlap?

A. Not with any floating floors, because expansion space is
needed.

Q. Will this fit over a 2×10 existing tread?

A. No, our stair treads are designed to fit over a 5/4 thick
tread (1 nominal).

FAQs

SimpleStairs® Stair Treads FAQs

Q. Can the top step be flush mount instead of overlap? A. Not with any floating floors, because expansion space is needed (Per our installation instructions for
all floating floors, proper expansion space is required).
Q. If the nose is already cut off, can this be used? A. Yes, simply use our SimpleStairs® Stair Nose Filler.
Q. Will this fit over a 2″x10″ existing tread? A. No, our stair treads are designed to fit over a 5/4″ thick tread (1″ nominal).
Q. Will we make stair treads to fit thicker stair nose? A. We are looking into a square nose version that would accommodate up to 1-1/2″ thick tread.
Q. Is Mannington Triple StickTM required? A. As with our flooring, our warranty and installation instructions require the use of Triple StickTM. If you
choose to use an alternative adhesive, the bond warranty will be with your adhesive manufacturer, and we only recommend a urethane adhesive be used. We have tested multiple adhesives and found that Mannington Triple StickTM performs the best.
Q. Can you install over existing flooring? A. No, any existing flooring must be removed down to the bare tread prior to installation of the
SimpleStairs® system.
Q. Can you install over painted stairs? A. No, first the paint must be scraped down to bare stair to ensure best possible bond between
Mannington Triple StickTM Adhesive and the stair tread.
Q. What should be used as a riser? A. The coordinating ADURA® plank can be used to match the SimpleStairs®. Mannington also offers a white riser.
Q. Are they available in wider lengths? My bottom 3 steps are 5′ wide. A. We only offer SimpleStairs® 48″ wide. Mannington recommends the 94″ coordinating stair nose
for steps wider than 48″.
Q. Do the treads need to be acclimated to the job site? A. Acclimation is always the best work practice. However, the treads do not have to acclimated as long
there are not extreme variation in temperature from storage to jobsite (20°F or more).
