LVP Stair Nosing for Professional Installers: Tips, Lead Times, and Bulk Ordering

The Contractor's Stair Nose Problem

Every flooring installer has experienced this scenario: the floor is down, the client is happy, and then someone asks about the stairs. The brand the client chose doesn't have matching stair noses in stock at the local supplier. The job stalls, the client gets frustrated, and you lose margin chasing a solution.

FloorMatch was built to solve this problem for professional installers, not just homeowners.

How to Get Accurate Lead Times

Our standard catalog colors ship in 5-10 business days. For custom color-match orders (any color not already in our catalog), lead time is 7-14 business days. When you take a flooring job, you can pre-order stair noses at the same time you order the flooring so the trim arrives by the time you're ready to finish the stairs.

What Information We Need

For catalog products, just select the color and length. For custom orders: - Flooring brand and color name - SKU (found on the back of a plank or original box) - Stair width (for length selection) - Stair configuration (closed, left-open, right-open, double-open) - Quantity

Bulk Ordering

We offer volume pricing for orders of 10 or more stair nose pieces. Contractors and builders working on multi-unit projects should contact us at order@floormatch.com or call 925-257-2685 before placing large orders to discuss pricing and lead time scheduling.

Getting Consistent Color Matches Across Multiple Floors

If you're finishing 15 stair noses on the same job, order them all at once. Pieces from a single production run will have tighter color consistency than pieces ordered in multiple separate batches.

Tips for the Best Results on Every Job

• Order samples for new LVP colors before committing the client to a finish
• Pre-order stair noses when you order the flooring — do not wait until the floors are down
• Photograph the SKU on the back of a plank before installation for easy reference later
• Keep a running list of the LVP colors you commonly install so you can order stair noses immediately
