Lifeproof Vinyl Plank Flooring - Installed on Stairs with Custom Formed Bullnose

This is an instructional video showing how to install Lifeproof Vinyl Plank Flooring on stairs and how to form a custom bullnose with the planks. This install is using Lifeproof Vinyl Plank, but it should be a similar process for other vinyl plank products. There are also some overall tips and tricks for remodeling stairs. This is an experimental DIY project and there is no guarantee it will work. I'm not a professional and simply want to share my experience with the install. Hope this helps some other DIYers out there, thanks!

Thank you for adding every step in this process. I've been watching videos also trying to find the best solution for my stairs. Your stairs look great and your process looks completely doable, for a completely in the dark renovator with minimum tools and knowhow. So for all of us with the ambition and desire but little how to. THANK YOU! {and I really like your cardboard jig} Cheers!!

Great video. I liked how you explained your thinking as you progressed through the project. It provided a good many new ideas for me as I think about my own project.

Great video this is what I needed

Good job man, I was about to put stain on my stairs but after I saw your video I’m going to try your idea 👀 looks more durable.

Thanks for sharing Using a new stair wood tread to use as a guide for the bullnose fold is Genius! I was planning to do it on the stairs but this is the way to go. I too agree this seemless look is BEAUTIFUL & your stairs look you paid a pro to do them I'm going to try this on my stairs with gluedown 3mm lvt which is more flexible than this. I will use loctite to glue them down as opposed to pressure sensitive glue which is what the flooring calls for

never thought of this, guy a genius

I tried doing it where I clamped the plank and bent the bullnose. Your way is much better where you clamp the bullnose and use the extra plank as leverage. Also I used a propane torch to heat it up quicker - a bit more risky but a few quick passes and it heats up well

good job and the cat matches the flooring

Have you had any problems with the steps? Guy at HD said it would peel when I told him I want to try.

I decided on overlap nosings even tho expensive. I tried them for the landings and liked the look. But the safety aspect sealed the deal - it's a pretty significant lip . A piece of trim at the top of the riser gives the narrow nosing more visual substance.

Great job.

[@anthonycaldi7056]

Great Video! I think you could have put a few light relief cuts on the back that would have helped bend it more easily.

Can u use the heat gun to remove the backing glue?
