Hartwell Hickory NeXgen Stairnose, 94" FINAL PRICE: $49.99 + Tax

Record the stair geometry

Measure the treads and the relationship between each tread edge and riser. Include the finished floor material in the drawing rather than measuring only the existing bare stair. Those details give the installer a basis for checking the actual stairnose profile. Do not assume a nominally coordinating trim piece will fit every stair shape or every flooring system.

Plan separate edge runs

Use the listed 94-inch length as a starting point when counting individual stair-edge runs. Identify where pieces will be cut and ask how the profile should be fitted at walls or exposed ends. The number of pieces depends on the actual stair widths and cut plan. Keep that plan separate from a simple linear-foot total so each edge is accounted for.

Check the finish together

Compare the actual Hartwell Hickory flooring and trim in the light that falls on the stair. The stair edge can remain visible from several viewing angles, so consider it alongside the risers, rail and adjacent floor. A coordinating name helps identify the intended scheme but does not establish the complete color range or a perfect match to another material.

Compare stair widths before using total linear feet

For a nominal example with four 36-inch stair edges, one listed 94-inch piece can contain two 36-inch lengths, leaving 22 inches before saw cuts and fitting allowances. Two pieces could provide the four unbroken lengths if the actual usable stock and required details permit. With four 50-inch edges, one 94-inch piece cannot contain two full lengths.

Although 200 total inches divided by 94 rounds up to three, four pieces would be the base count if every edge requires one unbroken length. The example does not approve a particular join or fit; it shows why edge-by-edge planning matters. Use actual tread widths and the installation instructions before ordering.

Keep the finished stair profile on the drawing

Show the tread surface, front edge, riser face and adjoining wall or exposed end in a small side-view sketch. Record measurements from the proposed finished assembly, including the flooring and any layers its instructions require. Bring that sketch and an actual flooring sample when checking HH-SM's profile. The color name and 94-inch length do not establish whether the profile is flush, overlapping or compatible with a particular floor thickness.

Ask the installer to resolve those fit questions before using the nominal cut example. Identifying the precise profile also makes it easier to review how the exposed end should look alongside the riser and railing.

Get the exact profile information

Ask for the product drawing and the installation instructions that apply to HH-SM. They should identify the profile configuration and the method used with the intended stair assembly. This listing does not supply those verified details, so no fastening, adhesive or overlap instruction is inferred here. Have the actual piece assessed before installation materials are purchased.

Retain the model reference

Keep the trim identification with the flooring records and the installer's finished layout. Those references are useful for future replacement and care questions. Follow the actual product and flooring guidance for cleaning and maintenance. The reducer from the same color scheme is a different profile and should not be used as the source of stairnose dimensions or instructions.

What is the listed length?

HH-SM is listed as a 94-inch stairnose. Confirm the actual piece and how it will be cut for the individual stair edges.

Is it flush or overlapping?

That configuration has not been verified. Check the actual profile and product drawing before selecting it for the stair assembly.

Is 10mm compatibility confirmed?

Not for this stairnose. The reducer's public 10mm reference should not be transferred to HH-SM.

What installation method should be used?

Use the exact stairnose and flooring instructions with the intended assembly. No adhesive or fastening method is established by the current evidence.
