Hello,
I am preparing for installing hardwood flooring ( 3/4" x 3 1/4" Jatoba) in a couple of bedrooms and the stairwell bound by walls on both sides. I am preparing the previously carpeted stairs and making skirts for the walls.
I am going to use my planks for the treads and risers. I also have ordered bullnose pieces for the edges. I have read several different ways to install them on the stairs and it seems like a number of people angle nail the bullnose piece and adhesive. The planks are then hooked with the tongue and groove, adhesive, and the last piece before the riser is face nailed to be covered by the riser.
For all you stair experts does this installation method sound good and if so exactly what type of adhesive would you recommend?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Kyle
