Flooring options for stairs

You'll have a lot to consider when shopping for new floors for your stairs. But, first, you have to consider style; after all, they're usually the first thing when people walk into your house.

Other things to consider are durability (people and pets run up and down all day), easy maintenance, and a non-skid surface.

Hardwood

What a great first impression this would make! Imagine walking into a house and seeing this natural beauty!

Hardwood is warm, charming, and elegant. It’s also easy to keep clean with dry mopping and periodic vacuuming.

Some add stair runners to make a stunning design statement and add protection from high traffic. The flooring store staff can advise you further.

Tile

Used on stair risers, these can add extra pizazz to your home. Please be sure your stairs can withstand the weight of tile.

Luxury vinyl plank & tile

It's almost impossible to tell these affordable alternatives from the real thing. They have knots, grains, swirls, and veining variations.

The material is cut into planks or square, tile-sized pieces. They are also durable, waterproof, and easy to clean.

Low pile carpet

Carpeting is warm and comfortable and insulates from noise. Low pile easily wraps and is more durable and easy to keep clean.

Our flooring company has a wide assortment of styles and fibers. They all come from well-recognized names like Dream Weaver.
