D. Mason asks:

I am installing traficmaster flooring at my entry above the stairs and in my basement. I want to install it on my stairs. CAN I GLUE TRAFICMASTER DOWN TO THE TREADS AND RISERS OF MY STAIRS?

FlooringFx.com responds:

Normally we avoid installing Trafficmaster (laminate flooring) and engineered flooring on stairs. We stay away from this due to the high cost of moldings and trim as well as the safety factor of the slick laminate flooring.

We are seeing more often and some laminate flooring manufacturers are creating some molding that makes it easier and more cost effective to use laminate flooring on stairs.

What I don’t advise installing laminate flooring on stairs due to safety because laminate flooring tend to be slicker than many other types of flooring.

So yes it can be installed, but normally I would recommend going with hardwood, carpet, or at least installing a runner.

I have seen Trafficmaster glued down and it definitely worked. In this application it of course would be advised to be glued down.

Pergo.Blogtopper.com has done very well so I will be moving it fully to our new site FlooringFx.com.

While the site has done well we have been limited with the brand name Pergo in the domain name. We also outgrew laminate flooring thus FlooringFx.com will suite us much better and help us reach the entire customer base.

So if you can start transitioning your bookmarks and links to the new FlooringFx.com site it would be greatly appreciated.

We will also be beginning the new Flooring Forum that will help with people looking for flooring discounts, installers, tips and other ideas. This new forum will be on the FlooringFx.com website and be clearly identified when it launches.
