Covering staircase with engineered wood

[jacoscar]

We have installed 14mm engineered wood on our entire first floor and would like to use the same for the stair case.

The current tread is 22.5 cm (including round nosing) and the nosing is 2cm proud of the riser

We have thought of a few options:
1) remove the existing nosing using a circular saw and then glue the engineered wood to the tread and a white painted MDF panel to the riser, then use a 90 degree aluminium trim where the tread meets the riser
this is the easiest option but the tread would become 2cm shorter, from 22.5cm to 20.5cm
2) instead of cutting the existing nosing, add some thickness to the riser to bring it flush to the tread; the final results should be the same as 1), losing the same 2cm
3) glue some white painted 9mm mdf to the riser as 1) above but keep the existing nosing and use a profile like this one

This would allow not to reduce the tread length, but the profile doesn't completely cover the existing nosing (due to our floor being 14mm thick) (see picture)
4) instead of fitting 9mm MDF flat to the existing riser, I could fit it at an angle and then use the same profile as above to cover where it meets the tread

Any other alternative?

Do you have the wood already?
Could you cut the tread edge to 45° ? Then cut a tread's depth of engineered wood also at 45° to present a square edge that matches the tread? With or without squaring off the existing rounded edge?

If it was possible, it might be easier to make some premade units with mdf sub bases so you make a tread and overhang that can be fitted in one ?

Look on eBay for staircase cladding as it might be cheaper to buy a kit? Or it would give you ideas.
If you are using left over engineered wood you might find you are a bit short so you could buy a bit of hardwood to replace the edges and if still short possible add some of the same "new" hardwood to make a contrast decorative feature?

we have plenty of leftover boxes that we were going to use for the downstairs hallway (we are laying tiles instead)

I can cut at 45 deg using the circular saw, but I'm not sure what you're suggesting, is it building my own steps with nosing included like this?

More or less.
You could also remove the rounded edge (there is a minimum depth of tread) to just have a simple square edge with no return.
Or use a contrasting strip in place of the overhang/rounded edge

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES CUT THE TREAD NOSINGS - they are structural and you will potentially rob support from the riser, which normally locates in a groove on the underside of the tread
