Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best flooring for stairs?
Carpet is the safest and quietest; hardwood and luxury vinyl are durable, finished options, often paired with a runner or stair nosing.
Is carpet or hardwood better for stairs?
Carpet offers the most grip and sound absorption; hardwood is more durable and classic. A hardwood stair with a runner gives you both.
Do I need stair nosing?
For hardwood and vinyl stairs, matching stair nosing finishes the edge safely. We carry coordinating trims for most flooring lines.
Are hardwood stairs slippery?
They can be. A runner or non-slip treads add grip while keeping the wood look.
Can you put luxury vinyl on stairs?
Yes, with matching stair-nose trim for a secure, finished edge. We carry coordinating trims for most lines.
How much flooring do I need for stairs?
Estimate about 18 inches of run per step (tread plus riser) times the stair width, then add 10 to 20 percent waste.
Buyer's Guide
How to choose stair flooring
Stairs see the most traffic in the home, so safety and durability come first. Carpet is soft, quiet, and the most slip-resistant. Hardwood is classic and often paired with a runner for grip. Luxury vinyl is highly durable and pairs with matching stair-nose trim for a clean edge.
Prioritize slip resistance and a coordinated stair nosing for a safe, finished result.
