Floor & Decor Stair Nose Doesn't Match Your Flooring: Your Options

Short answer: Floor & Decor does not always carry a stair nose that matches your exact NuCore or DuraLux color. You can use generic trim if the color is close, look for a factory piece for your specific color, or request a custom-matched stair nose reviewed against your flooring SKU if your project fits.

What Stair Nose Options Does Floor & Decor Offer?

Floor & Decor sells several LVP brands, most notably NuCore Performance and DuraLux Performance, and COREtec is also sold there. The store does stock some stair nosing products, but coverage varies by color and collection, and the trim aisle may carry only a fraction of the colors in a line. Check the listing for your exact color and SKU before assuming either way.

Which Floor & Decor LVP Brands Need a Matching Stair Nose?

• NuCore Performance: the NuCore stair nose page covers colors, profiles, and stair tread options, and the NuCore stair nose guide explains how to match one
• DuraLux Performance: the DuraLux Performance stair nose page covers the same for that line, with a companion DuraLux guide

Your Options When the Trim Aisle Does Not Have Your Color

1. Use a generic piece. This is acceptable only if the color is a very close match and you are comfortable with a visible difference on every step.
2. Check for a factory piece first. Some colors have coordinating pieces. Search by your color name and SKU.
3. Request a custom-matched stair nose. StairMatch reviews your brand, color, and SKU. With your permission, the request is passed to our manufacturing partner, who makes the stair nose to match your flooring and contacts you directly with a quote. See how custom LVP stair nosing works.

How to Find Your Floor & Decor LVP SKU

The SKU is on the back of the plank, on the original box, or on your Floor & Decor purchase receipt. You can also look it up in your Floor & Decor online account.

Is a Custom-Matched Stair Nose Right for Your Project?

It works best for LVP floors bought at Home Depot, Lowe's, or Floor & Decor and for projects of 5 or more stairs. Laminate and engineered-wood floors from those stores are reviewed case by case. Smaller projects are welcome and receive a reply with options. You never need to send in flooring, planks, or samples.

If your color is not already listed in the NuCore and DuraLux catalog pages, request a quote for a compatibility review. Pricing and confirmed timing come in the manufacturer's quote.
