I was not involved in the installation of stair and flooring but as far as I remember, the stair has a steel structure bolted to the floor. The floor is engineered timber so the expansion gap would be relatively small, just a few millimetres, and would work without any masking or filling with sealant. Sorry not to be more precise.
