Anti slip stair tread—All Around Protection for Pets and Homes!

Most of us cannot live without our furry companions, but that doesn’t mean we like everything that comes with being a pet owner. I for one detest having to constantly treat my couch with the lint-roller, trying desperately to control the fur that gets left behind. And for those of us with hardwood flooring in our homes the tedious pursuit of protecting our surfacing can take up so much time! This is especially true if your home happens to have, as its centerpiece, a beautiful wooden staircase that connects the lower and upper level. This sort of structure is expensive and becomes a point of pride for many homeowners. Often, a wooden stairwell is considered a considerable upgrade in brand new homes—which can cost buyers thousands of dollars. The price, however, is well worth the value and aesthetic elegance and beauty of a rising wooden staircase. But sharp and frenzied paws can quickly cause irreversible damage to wooden stairs and floors alike! Rubber treads are a great way to protect your sub-surfacing while also giving you and your beloved pets added traction and grip. Anti-slip stair tread are specially made to help safe guard all the members of your family from potentially devastating falls.  Available as decorative stair mats and also in industrial-chic designs, these treads will make a great addition to the inside or outside of your home.

Take a look at these 5 reasons why stair coverings are a great choice for your home and family.

  • Protecting Your Pets

The protection of your family probably ranks as one of your top priorities. Especially when you consider the statistics gathered by the National Safety Council! According to them, “falls are one of the leading causes of unintentional injuries in the United States, accounting for approximately 8.9 million visits to the emergency department annually.” That alone seems like reason enough to employ the use of anti-slip stair tread> in your home—but when you also consider that many of our furry companions are also at high risk of nasty falls then it makes even more sense to use these products. Rubber treads come with traction-rich raised designs, which paired with the materials naturally high coefficient of friction, produce an ideal slip resistant surface. This will ensure that both humans and pets have surer footing when their coming up and down the stairs!

  • A Durable and Resilient Material

Although you may think that your home doesn’t really get much foot traffic, you can never be too sure! We’ve all seen the adorable videos of cuddly pooches entertaining themselves while their owners are away by dropping tennis balls from the top of stairs and chasing after them. Maybe you’re dog doesn’t go that far, but animals tend to have a hard time sitting still for too long—especially when they’re very young! So again, you can expect those clawed paws running up and down your stairs quite a few times during the day. Rubberized stair coverings are often made from recycled and reclaimed automobile tires.

Because tires are the source material for eco-friendly treads it’s easy to see why this material is so resilient and durable! Automobile tires are designed and expected to stand up against some pretty harsh conditions such as corrosive sunlight, excessive moisture, and rough roads.

  • Sub-Flooring Protection

As previously mentioned, it is because of this materials resilience that decorative stair mats can also be employed as buffering source between expensive sub-surfaces and damaging forces—such as frenzied paws! Rubber can stand up to the abrasive treatment of foot and paw traffic, while also offering protection from falling objects. If you’re worried about the hardwood finish of your stairs, elastomer stair coverings are a great way to protect them!

  • Ease of maintenance

Unlike having to run a lint-roller over a fabric couch—taking care of your rubber treads is going to be a lot easier! Rubber is water-resistant, meaning it will require very little specialized cleaning. Most of the time, a good sweep of the broom will take care of any debris that’s hanging out on their surfaces. But if a more thorough cleaning is ever required a damp cloth or mop can also be used.

  • Ease of installation

Best of all, anti slip stair tread are very easy to install! Providing your family, both two legged and four, with added security is going to be a simple DIY project—something that can easily be overtaken in a single afternoon. Requiring very little technical knowledge, decorative stair mats are as easy to install as merely being laid out correctly. And should you want or need a more permanent fixture, double-sided adhesives are available to secure your treads to the surface of your stairs.

Our pets bring us a lot of happiness—and one way to return the favor is by making sure we give them a safe environment to live in as well as by avoiding getting upset with them when they behave the way they are meant to behave! By protecting your steps with rubberized stair coverings you’ll avoid having to have those long and uncomfortable talks with Fido and Fluffy about personal responsibility and accountability, because really, it always sort of feels like you’re just talking to yourself.
