Stairs For Flooring Taken To The Next Level In Safety And Durability

Have you ever gone up stairs that were worn down? Absolutely nothing will bring on vertigo more quickly. Your mind tries to adapt to the worn stairs, and of course you begin to worry about falling down. Granted it’s even worse going down the worn stairs, because then your eye sees the worn steps and multiplies the danger by each step remaining. Mostly it is all in your mind, but it’s still a very harrowing experience. As you can see flooring for stairs is of extreme importance. It cannot be easily worn away, and most importantly it cannot be anything but slip resistant – ever!

They sell carpeted stair treads today that come with double sided tape, but my mind reels at the thought of such a thing. I do not wish to chance walking on such flimsily attached stair treads.

The use of laminate flooring also raises the hairs on the back of my neck. Even the directions state that one should not glue the flooring to stairs if using the foam underlayment that comes with the laminate flooring. This basically reminds me of the “warning” posted on some stepladders “Danger of Falling with Use.”

Today one can have stairs made of linoleum, hardwood, tile and just about anything one wishes for, but commercial flooring on stairs is of supreme importance of course, as the safety of those using the stairs must be taken into account.
