Non Slip Stair Treads for Wood

Thedford Stair Tread

Winston Porter

What we like: Available in four colors and two widths

What we don’t: Some report inconsistent shading

Sold in a set of 13, these non-slip stair treads use a rubber backing for traction, preventing them from slipping. The carpet-like material is synthetic fiber (polypropylene) and provides a comfortable cushion under your feet. 

Stain, fade, and water-resistant, each tread is machine washable, although vacuuming is sufficient for regular maintenance. While there’s only one depth option, you can choose between two different widths, allowing you to decide how much coverage your stairs require.

There are several color options, including walnut, beige, black, and charcoal, to match the color of your stairs.

Pihu Stair Tread

Lark Manor™

What we like: Industrial-grade polyester construction

What we don’t: May shift under heavy use

Designed for indoor and outdoor use, these anti-slip stair treads are made from industrial-grade polyester, so they’re resistant to stains, mold, and mildew. To firmly grip the wooden stairs, these treads use a rubber backing to avoid sliding. 

If you need to clean these treads, you can rinse them with a garden hose or spot clean manually and then air dry. Although the rubber backing usually provides sufficient adhesion, some homeowners use double-sided adhesive tape for extra security. 

The treads provide ample traction to prevent slipping, regardless of what you’re wearing, and add a subtle decorative touch to your stairs with the modern geometric pattern.

Weinert Non Slip Carpet Stair Tread

Fleur De Lis Living

What we like: Sophisticated, classic appearance

What we don’t: Not suitable for outdoor use

Suitable for your wooden, tile, or marble indoor stairs, these non-slip carpet stair treads have an elegant, classic appearance that adds style and sophistication to your home. The treads are available in three colors — brown, navy blue, and red — ensuring you can find the perfect match. 

The carpeted surface is comfortable and warm on bare feet, and the synthetic-fiber material is resistant to staining and fading. Machine washable using cold water in front-loading washing machines, but don’t tumble dry or iron these treads to prevent damaging the backing.

Beaudoin Utility Peel and Stick Stair Tread

Tucker Murphy Pet™

What we like: Water-resistant peel-and-stick adhesive design

What we don’t: Size may be too narrow, depending on the width of your stairs

A novel alternative to traditional rubber-backed stair treads, these treads feature contractor-grade peel-and-stick adhesive, so they’ll attach firmly to the smooth surfaces of your wooden stairs.

Cut from commercial-grade carpet tiles, these treads are comfortable under your feet, easy to clean, and suitable for outdoor and indoor use due to their weather-resistant design. You won’t have to worry about mold or mildew growing on or under these treads — they’re resistant to both.

You can choose from three colors — beige, gray, and black — to find the perfect fit for your home.

Spohn Stair Tread

Fleur De Lis Living

What we like: Carpet tape for adhesion and wool blend for comfort

What we don’t: The high price

If you have hardwood floors, treat them well with these carpet stair treads, available in your choice of gray or beige. Not only will these treads prevent you from slipping, but they’ll also protect your stairs from scratches and scuffs and dampen noise.

Using carpet tape as an anchor, these treads adhere securely to both smooth and rough wooden surfaces. Made from soft, durable, and comfortable wool blends, these are the perfect addition to your home this winter to keep your feet cozy.

These treads are also the perfect size to ensure sufficient coverage for your safety. Maintenance is also easy — simply vacuum or machine wash as needed. 

Deloney Indoor Skid Resistant Red Stair Tread

Lark Manor™

What we like: Red floral design is attractive and vintage-looking

What we don’t: Does not attach securely to stairs, may need secondary adhesive

This set of seven anti-slip stair treads provide a traditional rug-like appearance for your staircase — almost like laying out the red carpet. Aesthetically attractive and comfortable underfoot, these treads adhere to your wooden stairs using rubber but don’t attach directly to your stairs. You can, however, use double-sided tape for additional adhesion if you have family members with limited mobility.

The simple yet elegant design with floral pattern should complement modern homes and apartments yet is versatile enough to match vintage-styled spaces. You’ll have no trouble maintaining the appearance of these treads because they’re machine washable (using front-loading machines only), but don’t iron them because the rubber backing could melt.

Conover Rubber Scrollwork Black Stair Tread

Fleur De Lis Living

What we like: Rubber scrollwork design is attractive and functional

What we don’t: Uncomfortable on bare feet

These heavy-duty non-skid stair treads feature a traditional scrollwork design for high-traffic stairways and are made entirely of rubber for added traction and durability. Due to their rubber construction, these treads are ideal for outdoor or indoor applications. They’re resistant to rain, snow, and mud and easy to clean. The scrollwork is both functional and attractive, resembling traditional iron. The open design prevents dirt, mud, and snow from pooling on the stair surfaces.

While the rubber and texture are sufficient to keep these treads in place, you can also use wood screws to attach them more securely.
