Step it up with Black Stair Treads

Black stair treads are an excellent way to upgrade your stairs. Stair treads and rugs are great for improving the safety of your stairs by minimizing slippage. And they’ll protect your stairs from scuffs, stains, scratches, and other signs of wear from daily traffic.

We hope you enjoy our selection of black indoor stair treads. With multiple materials and patterns to choose from, you’re sure to find one that will work well for your home.

Using Black Stair Treads

Installing black stair treads doesn't just make your home look nicer. It makes it safer and better protected. But only if you install them correctly. Stairs are an inherently dangerous part of any dwelling, and you want any rugs or treads on them to stay firmly fixed in place.

How to Make Black Indoor Stair Treads Safe

To keep your stairs safe, add a rug pad to your order. Pads prevent sliding and extend the life of your new stair treads by protecting both the pile and backing. They also make your stairs safer. Unless you pick an option that has an anti-slip backing, buy a rug pad that matches the size of your stair treads.

Install the rug pad first, using strips of double-sided tape around the edges of each step to keep it from sliding. Next, install the black carpet stair treads. Use the same pattern of double-sided tape between the rug and the pad. Press down firmly on all steps to make sure the tape is secure.

Be sure to pick a high-quality double-sided tape that will keep you and your family safe. And replace it every year or two to ensure the quality doesn't deteriorate and lead to an accident.

Picking the Right Black Stair Tread Covers

Black is a versatile neutral color that can work well in any home. Many interior decorators feel that every home needs a touch of black for visual anchoring, and your stairs are an excellent place to add it in.

To soften the impact of this bold color, you might try black and white stair treads instead. The combination of black and white creates eye-catching contrast while minimizing the bold look of black on your stairs.

What’s Next?

By now, you’re probably eager to find the best stair treads for your home. The sooner you purchase your new black indoor stair treads, the sooner your stairs will be protected. But before you checkout, we recommend checking out the tips below to make sure you get exactly what you need:

• Measure Carefully: Guessing which dimensions you need can lead to costly mistakes. Measure your stairs carefully to determine what size of stair treads you need. If necessary, map out your chosen dimensions in masking tape to make sure it’s a good fit.
• Consider Durability: Read about the material your black stair treads are made from to determine if it’s durable enough for your home. Higher levels of shoe traffic, moisture, soil, and sunlight exposure require increased durability.
