Questions and Answers for Cap A Tread Coastal Oak/Silver Sycamore 47 in. L x 12-1/8 in. W x 1-11/16 in. T Vinyl Overlay to Cover Stairs 1 in. T

A:  I installed risers at the same time I installed mine. I started at the bottom stair and overlapped the riser from the next stair above to help create a seal as well as a little insurance to "help" hold the stair cap down. I used liquid nails to hold it down, and just used my weight to push them down, and I haven't had any issues. I installed them in the afternoon and by the next morning they were good to go. After I was done I used a small amount of caulk clear or white, whatever your preference, along all of the edges to help make the seams water proof. The cap a treads are a laminate type material and I don't think they are waterproof like the vinyl plank flooring they match. With that said, as to your question, I don't see why you couldn't start from the top and keep your current risers. I would caulk the edges though, just to create a seal. The other thing is the surface is very smooth, it doesn't have a texture, so if you have a worry about slipping, be careful.

A:  They will work with the noseless stairs, mine are installed on noseless stairs and I have had no issues. They are a different thickness than the LVP. I ended up having to buy one of the other options the sell that snaps in place for the top stair.
