  • the invention relates to a finishing for a staircase or a step, which can be realized starting from floor panels.
  • this relates in particular to floor panels which can be floatingly installed, such as, for example, laminate panels, prefabricated parquet, veneer parquet, or solid parquet.
  • floor panels which can be floatingly installed, such as, for example, laminate panels, prefabricated parquet, veneer parquet, or solid parquet.
  • Such floor panels usually are provided at their edges with mechanical coupling means allowing to lock two or more such floor panels together at their edges, without herein implicitly requiring the use of glue. They may, however, also be provided with traditional tongue-in-groove couplings, which then preferably indeed are glued into each other.
  • Decorative strips allowing to form, together with such floor panels, a finishing for a staircase or step, are known, for example, from document EP 1 681 402 and DE 43 25 998 .
  • a decorative strip is applied, which forms at least the stair nose and cooperates with a floor panel provided on the step.
  • this respectively concerns a so-called "flush” finishing, wherein the step is free from height differences between the respective decorative sides of the decorative strip and the floor panel.
  • the decorative strip is in each case adapted, for example, in thickness, to the floor panel with which it has to cooperate and further does not allow any variation in finishing.
