Frequently Asked Questions
What are step edge strips?
Strips fitted to the front edge of each step. They're usually a contrasting colour so you can see where each step ends, and often have a textured surface for grip.
Do they go on every step?
Yes - all steps for consistency. Missing one causes more problems because your feet expect the same feel on each step.
What colours work best?
High contrast to your carpet or wood. Yellow on dark stairs, dark strips on light stairs. The more visible, the safer.
Are they slippery?
No - quality step strips have textured or rubberised surfaces for grip. They make steps safer, not more slippery.
