Stair Trim

Choosing the Right Stair Trim for Your Project

Selecting the right stair trim depends on the function or style of staircase you’re working with. The perfect finishing touch to your project, trims are designed to create clean transitions, refine edges and complete the overall look of your staircase.

For timber or veneer-covered stairs, L-shaped and flat latt trims provide a smooth finish over joints, while bead and bead-nosed trims offer a smooth, rounded profile that neatly finishes exposed edges and helps achieve a consistent appearance. Landing nosing trims can also be used to create a defined edge where the staircase meets the landing.

It’s important to match the trim profile and material to your staircase to achieve a tidy finish. Your trim should also complement your stairs’ handrails, baserails and newel posts, so be sure to stick with the same wood type.
