Factors that help determine the materials include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How much traffic the stairs get<\/li>\n<li>How much the flooring materials cost<\/li>\n<li>Safety<\/li>\n<li>Aesthetic appeal<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Carpet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Experts believe that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/carpet\/\">installing new carpet<\/a> is the safest type of the flooring options for stairs. Carpet comes in a wealth of colors and patterns. It&#8217;s woven of materials such as nylon, wool, wool blend or polyester.<\/p>\n<p>If a homeowner doesn\u2019t want the expense of carpeting the entire staircase, they can install a carpet runner. A runner not only adds traction but can be color coordinated with the material beneath it and even with other areas of the house.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3713\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/carpet-on-steps.jpg\" alt=\"carpet options for stairs\" width=\"775\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/carpet-on-steps.jpg 775w, https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/carpet-on-steps-300x155.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hardwood<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3714 alignright\" style=\"padding-left: 7px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/wood-floor-stairs.jpg\" alt=\"hardwood floor stairs\" width=\"350\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/wood-floor-stairs.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/wood-floor-stairs-233x300.jpg 233w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/>Hardwood products make a beautiful <strong>idea for stair flooring<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Hardwood is the wood of deciduous trees such as maple, oak, and birch. Hardwood isn&#8217;t necessarily harder than softwood such as pine or spruce, but tends to be denser. It&#8217;s unsurpassed when it comes to elegant beauty.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/hardwood\/\">high-quality hardwood installation<\/a> on a\u00a0staircase can last as long as the house and is easy to clean. The one caveat is that hardwood is slippery when it\u2019s wet and slippery to walk on in stockinged feet. Softwoods are also excellent to use as stair flooring.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Laminate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Laminates are made of materials pressure glued together. Nowadays, laminate can be made to mimic many other materials including wood and tile. It\u2019s inexpensive and can be installed over a staircase easily.<\/p>\n<p>You can find <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/laminate\/\">quality laminate flooring and installation<\/a> for an affordable price. This makes it more desirable than natural hardwood since it costs much more than laminate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Glass<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>People are surprised to learn that glass is a perfectly acceptable material for stairs. Of course, the glass that makes up stair treads is tempered, which means it\u2019s made in a way to make it tough and shatterproof.<\/p>\n<p>Glass staircases give a home an airy sort of beauty, and ones with open risers can seem to float. It\u2019s also reflective and adds brightness to the area.<\/p>\n<p>Glass comes in a rainbow of colors and glass tiles can be arranged in patterns for added interest.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3716\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/glass-steps.jpg\" alt=\"glass stairs\" width=\"775\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/glass-steps.jpg 775w, https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/glass-steps-300x155.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Stone such as marble or granite can give a staircase a spectacular, luxurious look. However, stone is heavy and hard and can be expensive.<\/p>\n<p>Most stone needs to be sealed every two years or so to protect it from spills and stains. It\u2019s best to use stone stairs with a runner in a complementary color.<\/p>\n<p>A homeowner shouldn\u2019t be scared of mixing materials. For example, a hardwood tread with a riser made of ceramic tile or stone can be very aesthetically pleasing.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/marble-interior-stairs.jpg\" alt=\"interior stone stairs\" width=\"775\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/marble-interior-stairs.jpg 775w, https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/marble-interior-stairs-300x155.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"padding-bottom: 7px;\">Get your Stair Flooring with The Carpet Guys!<\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to flooring options for stairs, carpet, hardwood, and laminate are our specialty.
