Hi,

I shall be fitting new carpet on the stairs and Quickstep Eligna oak laminate on the top landing. What is the best way to join these two? Shall I fit the laminate to the edge of the landing and have the carpet go up the riser, or put some of the carpet on to the landing (about a tread's width) and then have the laminate meet up with it?

Which is best from an aesthetic point of view and won't cause a trip hazard?

Thanks in advance for any info and advice

Take the carpet up the riser, and over on to the landing, and then join the laminate. If you take the laminate to the edge of the stairs, then you have to add some 2 part filler to the bullnose of the stairs to support the edge of the laminate, and then you'll need an angle bead to cover the join, and that wouldn't be supported very well - unless you can get a good sized strip glued to the laminate, but it's still be questionable.
