Stairs - before or after tiling?


Recommended Posts

Reaching that stage of thinking about the finishes. We need to install our own staircase and I have it designed and priced ready to call off. However, the hallway is to be tiled and the stairs will be open on the underside.

 

Do I tile the floor first or allow for tile and adhesive, install the stair and tile to it?

 

Thoughts on a postcard please........

I would tile it first, far easier and the stairs will rest on a solid base rather than estimating adhesive thickness.

100% before

We had no choice but to tile after as the original tiler let us down and then the locally made staircase arrived as he couldn’t store it and I didn’t want to keep it in the garage. However our staircase runs up behind the kitchen wall so it was easy for us to get the measurements right and only a small bit of cutting for the tiles. Under the stairs is a wardrobe so the tiling in there wasn’t so much of an issue. It would have been far harder if we had a more complicated staircase.

does this include if you are using  AMTICO SPACIA LVT SPICED TIMBER FLOORING (its only 2.5mm? Also thinking about using a metal staircase to stop squeaks , not sure how that would land on the floor. Will carpet it.
