Carpet stair treads can be a beautiful addition to your home, adding a touch of warmth and style to your hardwood flooring. Hardwood stairs are a beautiful feature in any multi-level home, but they can often be dangerously slippery, especially for pets, children, and the elderly. They can also become quite cold in the winter months. The right set of carpet stair treads can prevent slippage, be attractive, and knock the chill off of your hardwood steps in the wintertime.

When selecting the best stair treads for your home, remember to consider the following:

1. Are the edges bound with color matching binding tape.

2. Price - remember that you usually get what you pay for.

3. Color and style - are you looking for something for out of the way basement steps, or a highly visible staircase. You will want to choose and spend accordingly.

4. The seller’s reputation and ability to list custom requested items - often sizes and number of treads can be very specific to your home. Some seller’s can create customized listings per your specifications. Also remember that the service provided by the seller is a large part of a satisfactory buying experience.

5. Size - will the length and width of the treads fit your stairs nicely while looking appropriate.

6. Can you purchase a matching runner for your foyer or hallway or does one come with the set?
