We have laminate flooring in our entire house and i love it.
Carpeted stairs to laminate.

I don t think i ve ever seen a staircase done in laminate but it.
Carpet materials such as olefin and polyester are slippery.
Stain and clear coat your stairs to give them long lasting appeal.
If you do the carpet first then a solution needs to be found to cover the gap normally wooden edge beading which is not as neat as the first option.
Use a foam brush to apply the stain and wipe with a lint free cloth.
