Floora did you know, rubber stair treads are the guardians of your steps, offering both safety and durability in high-traffic areas. Ideal for schools, commercial buildings, or even at home, these treads protect against slips and falls while preserving the underlying stairs from wear. With their noise-dampening qualities, they also make every step quieter.

When choosing rubber stair treads, here are key points to consider:

  • Material Quality: High-quality rubber resists wear, offers excellent traction, and can withstand the rigors of heavy foot traffic. Look for treads that are also easy to clean and maintain.
  • Design and Texture: Rubber stair treads come in various patterns and designs. Some feature grit strips for additional slip resistance, while others have aesthetic patterns that enhance the visual appeal of your staircase.
  • Environmental Impact: Opt for eco-friendly options made from recycled rubber. Not only are these choices better for the environment, but they also contribute to green building certifications.

Buying Tip: Measure your stairs accurately before purchasing to ensure a perfect fit. Consider treads with a nose that wraps over the stair edge for extra protection and a polished look.

Thanks you Wally! Are you concerned about installation? Rubber stair treads can be installed easily with the right preparation:


  • Preparation: Clean the stairs thoroughly to remove any dirt or grease. The surface must be dry and smooth for the adhesive to bond correctly.
  • Installation: Apply a strong adhesive designed for rubber treads, and carefully place each tread on a step, smoothing it from front to back to prevent air bubbles.
  • Sealing Edges: For added durability, consider using a sealant around the edges of the treads to prevent peeling and to ensure a water-resistant seal.
  • Aesthetic Consideration: While the primary function of rubber stair treads is safety, they also contribute to the overall look of your space. Choose colors and patterns that complement your interior design.
