Begin by taking a piece of the laminate stair nosing and placing it on the stair tread. Align it to determine the required length of the main nosing piece. Mark the point where the nosing meets the adjacent wall with a pencil. This mark will serve as the guide for a 45-degree miter cut. Next, use a tape measure and a scrap piece of laminate or the nosing itself to measure the length of the small side return piece, which typically wraps around the corner of the stair. This piece will also require a 45-degree miter cut to meet the main nosing piece.
