Installation without vertical
step
1. We recommend installing
from top to bottom.
2. To determine the
existing stair dimension, "click" the moderna stair planks into
position. (Fig #A)
3. Transfer the measured
width and length of the stair on to the back of the assembled
plank. (Fig #B)
4. Apply adhesive and install
the corner dowels. (Fig #D) If necessary, insert the end block
plane to the cut surface.
5. Apply adhesive
from back to front edge. (Fig #E)
6. Set
the assembled stair planks in place and press down tightly.

Installation with vertical step
Use one moderna Laminate Flooring Plank per stair as the
vertical step.
1-2. Same as without
vertical step
3. Mid 3/8" (10mm) to
the predetermined stair depth for the vertical step panel. (Fig
#B&C)
4-6. Same as without vertical
step
7. Remove the lower groove. (Fig #F)
8. With stair planks installed, apply adhesive
to the back of the vertical step. (Fig #G)
9.
Insert the upper vertical step. (Fig #H) Use moderna Color
Sealant to fill any gap between the stairnose profile and the
vertical step. (Fig #I) |
Finishing instructions
for both versions

enhanced appearance, we recommend that you glue or nail molding
to the edge. (Fig #J) Another finishing option is to seal the
joint with matching moderna Color Sealant. (Refer to Fig

slair edge profile can be touched up with matching moderna
