Does carpet flooring work well on stairs?

Carpeting is an excellent choice for stairs, and there are more ways to use it there than you might think. Choose options that cater to all your needs, from visual to performance.

Some carpet choices are better suited for staircase use, with a more durable rating. And you'll appreciate that durability in your busy household.

Why choose carpet for stairs?

Carpet looks great in this space, but it can also help protect against slippage and falling. With a more secure surface, these materials are safer for children especially.

The floor covering you choose will also offer outstanding visual appeal. And you'll find plenty of matching options for hardwood stairs and components.

What are stair runners?

Stair runners are carpet strips attached to wood or tile staircases to offer a safer surface. But they can also help protect the materials they are covering.

These are often installed, leaving a bit of wood or tile showing on the sides. And there are plenty of color and design choices that are a perfect match for your wood stain choice or tile color.

Putting these floor covering materials to work for you can also mean a longer lifespan for all materials. Ask about fibers that cater to your specific traffic levels, especially if you have pets.
