Some of our recent reviews
I bought these to protect our newly installed oak stairs from wear and tear whilst we still have tradespeople in the house who require boots to work safely. They stay in place well, and there has been many compliments on how good they look, and elderly visitor stated they felt much safer using the stairs than without them. Highly recommended

Great quality!! Really nice and easy to use, we removed our old carpet and painted the stairs but we have dogs and they didn’t like the stairs without any carpet as it was slippery, so we found the solution and really happy with it.

Once the stairs were painted these were a dream to use. Safer and cleaner than traditional stair carpet on such narrow stairs and I'm impressed with the appearance.

We love our wood stairs but needed to protect it from dog claws and give us some grip but without the huge expense of fitted carpets, which would also lose some of the wood effect. These are great and excellent for the price. I even had two extra so could fill in on some of the corner stairs to maximise cover as they are very easy to cut.

Still looking amazing. They do not move, hoover easily and have been washed in washing machine a few times. If I ever need to replace them I will definitely buy these again.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes. Most carpet stair treads are designed for simple DIY installation. The product uses peel-and-stick backings and adhesive strips. Ensure to always clean and dry the stairs first so the treads can bond properly.
-
Yes. Carpet stair treads are especially useful on wooden stairs because smooth or polished wood can become slippery. They add grip, comfort, and a softer walking surface while still allowing much of the staircase design to remain visible.
-
This depends on foot traffic, cleaning, installation quality, and the type of stair tread used. In normal home use, good-quality carpet stair treads can last between 1-3 years when installed correctly and maintained properly.
-
When installed and removed correctly, carpet stair treads are designed to be a practical, low-impact safety upgrade. However, adhesive products may leave residue or affect delicate finishes if removed incorrectly, so always follow the installation and removal instructions.
-
They work best on clean, dry, smooth, and stable stair surfaces such as wood, laminate, or similar indoor stairs. For unusual stair materials, heavily textured surfaces, damaged steps, or outdoor stairs, it is best to check product suitability before installation.
-
Yes. Our carpet stair treads are available in different colours and styles to match different staircases and home interiors. Choosing the right size helps ensure both safety and a neat finished look.
-
Yes. Most carpet stair treads can be cleaned with regular vacuuming and light spot cleaning. For spills, clean them as soon as possible to prevent staining and maintain the appearance of the tread.
-
Carpet treads are individual pieces fitted to each step, while a stair runner is one continuous strip of carpet running down the staircase. Carpet treads are usually easier to install, easier to replace individually, and allow more of the original stair surface to remain visible.
