Affordable laminate stair installation in the Greater Columbus Area
Laminate stairs deliver the look of solid hardwood without the hardwood price tag, which is a smart trade-off on the busiest surface in the house. Burke Flooring installs AC4 and AC5 laminate stair systems throughout the Greater Columbus Area using matching nosings, padded risers, and finish trim that ties the staircase into the [laminate floor](/laminate-flooring) it leads to.
Because laminate's wear layer is built to take abuse, it's a particularly smart choice for rentals, second homes, basement stairs, and houses with kids or dogs underfoot.
Choosing the right laminate for stairs
Not every laminate plank belongs on a staircase. We only quote AC4 (heavy residential) or AC5 (commercial) products for stairs, since anything lighter will show wear at the nosing within a year. We also stick to 12 mm thicknesses wherever possible - thicker boards feel more solid underfoot and take the matching nosing more cleanly.
- AC4 and AC5 wear-rated planks only
- 12 mm thickness recommended for stairs
- Factory-matched stair nosings included
- Padded underlay reduces noise on each step
Special Financing Available*

Learn moreHow we install laminate stairs cleanly
Laminate is a click-lock floating floor in the main room, but on stairs it needs to be glued and mechanically fastened. We use construction adhesive plus hidden brad nails behind the nosing on every tread, glue the riser caps in place, and finish with color-matched caulk so there are no visible gaps. Done right, a laminate staircase runs quiet, resists scratches, and is hard to tell from real hardwood at a glance - and it's covered by our one-year installation guarantee.

Laminate Stairs - frequently asked questions
AC4 and AC5 rated laminates are built for high-traffic commercial use, so on a residential staircase they routinely outlast carpet and hold their own against hardwood for wear.
Yes - we use the same plank for both. The only difference is the matching nosing on the front edge of each stair, sourced from the same manufacturer so the color and grain line up exactly.
They carry similar slip resistance to satin-finished hardwood. We can add discreet anti-slip tape under each nosing if you have older relatives or active pets in the house.
Yes. We remove any carpet first, level the treads if needed, and install directly on top - no need to tear out the underlying staircase. See what the Greater Columbus Area customers say about the finished result on our [reviews](/reviews) page.
