Custom Stair Nosing Made From Your Flooring
Match your LVP, hardwood, or laminate perfectly. No generic caps. No color mismatch. Fabricated local in Tampa Bay — ready in 3–5 days.
That "matching" stair nose from the flooring store isn't actually matching
Most flooring stores sell an "overlap stair nosing" — a factory-produced cap that sits on top of the tread edge. It creates a raised lip of ⅜″ to ½″ above the step surface. That raised edge is a trip hazard and catches heels.
The color is "close at best." Factory caps are made months before your floor was installed, from a different dye lot, from a different material layer than the click-lock plank you're walking on. Under certain lighting you can see the difference immediately.
The solution: cut the nose from your actual flooring material. Same plank, same dye lot, same surface texture. Fabricated flush so there is no raised edge. This is exactly what Flow does for custom stair nosing in Tampa and Sarasota.

"Victor fabricated the stair noses from our exact LifeProof planks. The color match is perfect — you genuinely cannot tell where the floor ends and the stair begins. 3-day turnaround in Tampa, exactly as promised."
"We had open-sided stairs with the right side exposed. Flow made the nose pieces with the mitered return caps — everything flush, no raw edge. Looked completely professional. Would not have known how to source that anywhere else."
"The store-bought overlap nose was sitting almost half an inch above our LVP floor — it was a trip hazard. Victor cut the nose from our spare Shaw planks. Flush, solid, and an exact match. Do not even think about the box-store version."
