Digmixfill Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I've almost finished with the joists for our landing area and P5 is next. We have minimal detail for our stairs other than the opening size, turns etc., so have been looking around at landing construction. I'm still unsure if I should lay the P5 to the edge of the stairwell trimmer or leave a gap at the edge for landing nosing and the like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 It can depend on your proposed floor finishes eg if you have wood on top you may want nosing in the same material. I guess you can always lay it to the edge and cut back if required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 It also depends if you want carpet on the stairs and how the stairs finish at the top, it’s all in the planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I left that last section of P5 to be fitted after the stair was in. Cut it over sized but don't glue it, and trim to size when you have the stairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut back if required and glue and screw the edge just before installing the handrail. I like this idea. 58 minutes ago, joe90 said: It also depends if you want carpet on the stairs and how the stairs finish at the top, it’s all in the planning. We've only looked a rough ideas for stairs. What we end up with will be heavily determined by how much budget we have left overspent 25 minutes ago, ProDave said: I left that last section of P5 to be fitted after the stair was in. Cut it over sized but don't glue it, and trim to size when you have the stairs. All of the P5 boards will be end on to the stair opening, and connect through to the adjoining rooms. If I went with this option I'd probably be better not installing the boards just yet. Thanks for the suggestions. I'll think about them whilst fitting the noggins.

The P5 adjoining the side of the stairwell, leave a little over size so it overhangs the edge slightly and trim in situ with a circular saw when you know where it needs cutting to.

Digmixfill Posted March 5, 2022 Author Share Posted March 5, 2022 This is our stairwell edge It's this kind of detail that has me thinking about the entire edge of the stairwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
