For contractors, site workers, and project managers, using reliable stair protection prevents costly repairs and ensures surfaces stay intact during construction, renovation, or refurbishment. Protecting stair treads and risers also demonstrates a commitment to quality and safety, ensuring the project meets professional standards while safeguarding your investment and the worksite.

Frequently asked Questions
Adhesive films, nonslip mats, or heavy-duty coverings can protect stair treads from the ravages of foot traffic, dirt, and construction debris. If you are looking for more permanent solutions, you can use protective finishes like polyurethane or some specific coating. Before choosing the staining method, make sure it works for the material you’re staining, wood, tile, or concrete.
For most building codes, stair tread depth should be at least 10 inches and riser height not more than 7.75 inches. The staircase must keep both dimensions the same throughout for it to be safe and comfortable. Précise requirements are always prudent to consult local regulations.
Stair treads are required to bear weight and give stability to the horizontal surfaces you step on. The vertical sections between the treads are known as risers, which provide the staircase structure and make up the staircase aesthetic. A staircase is comprised of functional and visual elements.
Protect staircases with temporary guards like adhesive films or cushioned mats during construction or renovation. They are available in durable finishes and suitable for anti-slip coatings and protective stair runners. Integrity is also maintained through regular maintenance and cleaning of the staircase.
Protect stair risers from shielding against impacts, scuffs, and stains by adding adhesive guards, temporary barrier panels, or cushioned coverings. If they're painted or finished, apply a sturdy sealant or protective topcoat to keep them in good shape, looking, and withstanding the years.
Stair treads are perfect for a polyurethane or epoxy-based top coat, which is durable and scratch-resistant, particularly for areas of wear and moisture. As if that weren’t enough, optional anti-slip additives help make these coatings safer as well, making them perfect for both residential and commercial applications.
