These products are surface coverings designed to be affixed to individual steps on a staircase, commonly made of carpet material and available for purchase at a large home improvement retailer. They serve as a protective and aesthetic addition to staircases. For instance, a homeowner might select these to enhance the safety and visual appeal of their wooden stairs.
The use of these coverings offers several advantages. They enhance safety by providing increased traction and reducing the risk of slips and falls. They can also protect the underlying stair material from wear and tear, extending its lifespan. Historically, coverings for stairs were used to protect fine wood finishes and reduce noise; modern versions continue to serve these purposes while also offering a decorative element.
