Rubber Stair Mats
Rubber stair mats can make a big difference in safety, on almost any stairway, except for stairs that are carpeted. One of the biggest problems with stairway safety is smooth stair steps and they can be slippery, especially when wet. You can easily solve this problem, by installing stair tread mats or other non-slip materials.
Rubber stair mats are usually used on the exterior of
the building, but can be used on the interior. If you have a
concrete
stairway that doesn't provide stairway users with a lot of traction,
rubber stair mats could be the answer to your prayers.
One of the best things about rubber stair mats is that they seem to last
for years. Some cloth, wool or carpet safety mats don't seem to hold up
well, to extreme weather conditions or moisture.
Internet Purchasing
If you're planning on purchasing any stair tread mats over the Internet,
it wouldn't be a bad idea to order a single stair tread, before
purchasing the rest. This way, if you don't like it, you can give it
away to a friend or send it back to the manufacturer.
Most of the time, you're going to be responsible for shipping and
handling, if you return any item, purchased over the Internet. If this
is the case, it's going to be a lot cheaper to send back one step
covering, instead of a bunch of them.
