Covering for stairs in the house. Anti-slip step coatings

Coatings for stairs should be durable and comfortable. This attribute is used daily in every home, so you need to do it with high quality!

When constructing a two-story house, it is important to take into account every detail, because, as a rule, such structures have a lot of elements that are not simple in design and require careful decoration and arrangement. One of these elements is the staircase. It can have a variety of forms and be built from the most various materials. But here the type of coverage is important, which we will talk about later in our article.

A prerequisite when choosing a coating for the stairs is to use the same coating that you selected when entering the room. The most natural and environmental materials for stairs are bamboo and cork. But when choosing flooring  other factors should be taken into account, such as safety, impact resistance, wear resistance, care and the shape of the stairs.

The most suitable coverings for the stairs

Each private house needs to create a cozy and comfortable environment, which is why every element should be decorated with taste. The staircase is a central attribute that catches your eye and is a kind of visiting card of each owner, which is why the choice of cover must be treated with great care. As a rule, there are two types of stairs:

• Closed stairs
• Open stairs
• Curved stairs

If done short review  the most suitable coatings for different types of stairs, it is worth noting that for traditional closed stairs, it is necessary to use a thin laminate, bamboo or ordinary wooden planks made of solid types of wood, which completely cover the whole step. In addition to these coatings, cork wood can also be used. This material is characterized by a host of advantages. Firstly, cork is an environmentally friendly, natural product that does not cause an allergic reaction and is completely safe. Secondly, when walking has a floating, soft effect. Cork is a worthy alternative to any other type of wood.

If we talk about curved stairs, then they can be either closed or open. For such a ladder, you need to apply wider planks of wood, which can be divided into several separate parts. Cork wood is also suitable for this type of staircase. But remember that this material is several times more expensive than ordinary wood.

Carpets for stairs

A separate type of coverings of stairs are. To date, the construction market has a wide range of products of this material, but it is worth considering the fact that these types of coatings have different specificities and properties. How to choose a practical and aesthetically attractive coating, we will describe further.

So, standard carpet paths of different shapes, sizes and style solutions can be used for staircases. Coatings are divided into several types: carpet paths and carpeting, which has a direct purpose for stairs. They can consist of a wide variety of materials, such as polypropylene, rubber and even aluminum. As a rule, almost all carpet tracks are made of synthetic fiber, consisting of a latex backing. They are of high quality and durability. In addition to these qualities, carpet floor coverings for staircases have excellent wear resistance and sufficiently high antisplash properties. They are also easy to care for and environmentally friendly.

Covering the steps with a non-slip effect is a unique product that protects passers-by. As a rule, their installation is carried out on stairs, due to which it is possible to create a safe coating on slippery surfaces. In winter, there is a special need for the installation of such coatings. After all, falling snow contributes to the formation of a high level of slip on the usual coating, which can lead to various injuries.

Coatings with anti-slip effect for the porch have unique properties. Thanks to this, it is possible to prevent slipping in the most adverse conditions (high humidity, slippery sole of the shoe).

Anti-slip coatings on the porch can be made of the following materials:

• thermoplastics;
• abrasive materials;
• rubber;
• rubber;
• aluminum.

If you install a non-slip coating of rubber, then the slip can be eliminated due to the natural properties of the material.

Such products can be presented in various versions:

• overlays for steps based on rubber crumb;
• rubber and rubber mats;
• coatings in rolls;
• self-adhesive tape.

The process of installing a street anti-slip coating is on the finished surface or steps.

Rubber products

Despite the wide range of street coatings for stairs, rubber is in great demand. They can be presented in the form of rugs and planks. But it’s not quite reasonable to use crusts on the porch stairs, so they resort to installing elastic rubber pads with an anti-slip effect.

Thanks to this device, it is possible to create a barrier for the tile and protect it from destruction. In addition, rubber pads can withstand significant temperature changes. Rubber profiles are very easy to clear of ice. High elasticity allows you to install anti-slip products on the stairs of the most non-standard shape.

The design of rubber products provides for the presence of two small metal elements that will remain under the trim stairs of the porch. As a result, reliable mounting on the steps is achieved.

Installation of anti-skid thresholds for the porch can be done before laying the finish, and after it. They have a base with an elastic plastic insert attached to it. If we talk about self-adhesive products, they are sold in rolls. Before gluing, they are cut into a strip of the required size and installed on the edge of the street treads. A similar product will delight its owners for a long time.

Rubber

Equal anti-slip rubber coatings are equally popular. Rubber is an excellent material for the manufacture of coatings with anti-slip effect. Due to its light weight and strength, it can be installed on the most different kinds  steps of the porch. The only drawback of such products is their low price.

Abrasive

Abrasive anti-slip tape allows to achieve a high degree of adhesion and maximum strength. The life of this product is 3 years. In addition to installing a porch on the stairs, the cover is mounted at pedestrian crossings, playgrounds.

The wrong side of the anti-slip abrasive tape is treated with adhesive and a protective film that protects it from drying out. To install the coating on the steps, just remove the protective film and stick the tape on the desired area. In the role of glue, a chemical composition is used that has high strength and water-resistant qualities.

Aluminum

The non-slip coating for the steps of the porch can be presented in the form of aluminum trim profiles. Their design involves the presence of special elements that prevent the formation of slip. Installation of the product is carried out using dowels and screws.

The main advantages of aluminum products include:

• efficiency;
• reliability;
• acid resistance;
• durability;
• ease of use.

The disadvantages of coating are their high cost compared to other anti-slip products.

Installation process

There are two ways to make anti-slip coating fasteners made of rubber: gluing and mechanical fasteners. Each method has its own nuances, which we will try to consider.

Gluing

This procedure is notable for its simplicity and speed. The action plan is as follows:

1. Walk on a hard surface on which the coating will be installed, with a primer or mastic. For preparation, you can use a composition of turpentine and polyurethane adhesive, taken in equal proportions.
2. The underside of the coating should also be treated with polyurethane adhesive and pressed firmly to the surface.
3. Make sure that the product is completely stuck to the step, and the glue particles did not get on the front side.
4. For complete drying of the tiles at temperatures above 10 degrees, it will take 24 hours.

Mechanical fasteners

The process of mechanical fastening of rubber products is carried out according to a standard scheme with the use of screws, self-tapping screws and screws.

The number of fasteners is determined taking into account the size of the mounted product. If its size is 0.5x0.5 m, then 4 screws are needed, if 1.0x0.35 m, then 6 pieces.

Self-tapping screws are screwed at a distance of 5 cm from the corners to a tight hold. If the work is performed on surfaces made of wood and metal, then in order to increase the pressure surface, a washer must be placed.

Manufacturers and prices

Today, it is not at all difficult to purchase an anti-slip coating for the porch. In any specialized store they are presented in a wide assortment. Consider in detail the most famous manufacturers  and the cost of anti-slip coating:

Glaze and mud makes owners of shopping malls, restaurants, cafes, large and small offices order large volumes of anti-slip coating. Almost all public institutions use rubber coatings for steps. Rubber coating is indispensable in multi-unit residential buildings. The new porch with the use of modern material in schools, kindergartens, theaters looks original.

Distinctive features of anti-slip
porch coverings

ABOUT PRODUCT. SET "DO THE FLOOR"

TO stairs  in modern homes are increasingly demanding. It is desirable that the steps were beautiful and it was pleasant to climb and descend on them. But more importantly, they are safe. By stairs  children often run, and adults in a hurry sometimes do not follow the rules of caution. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you take care of a high-quality floor covering that can withstand various loads, can easily be washed and at the same time remain non-slip even after wet cleaning.

After repeated tests, it turned out that the most reliable and durable are high-quality bulk floors that satisfy all of the above requirements. Their only significant minus is a rather high cost, and if it comes to arranging stairs in high-rise administrative and office buildings, schools, medical institutions and apartment buildings, the costs can be considerable. But there is an alternative, and it is really worthy! This is a unique Russian development based on advanced nanotechnology "".

The “Make FLOOR” kit costs five times cheaper than traditional bulk floors, but at the same time it allows you to quickly create a reliable coating on stairswithout involving the highest level specialists. This technology is also cheaper than laying tiles and linoleum, which also require more labor. In the nuances of the instructions offered on disk and in printed form, even a layman will quickly understand.

Before applying the composition, it is worth making sure that the surface is properly prepared and is smooth - without pieces of hardened cement, all kinds of tubercles, pits and large cracks. Wash the surface very thoroughly and allow it to dry completely. The moisture content of concrete should not exceed 4%.

Next, you just need to apply the composition to the surface with an ordinary paint roller, and only one layer is enough to create a wear-resistant coating. To give the floor aesthetics, and at the same time to ensure anti-slip properties, it is necessary to apply decorative acrylic chips, choosing the most suitable one from the proposed options. A few hours after coating, the staircase can be operated. The coating is not afraid of temperature extremes, or chemical or mechanical influences.

Epoxy and polymer components of the composition are selected in such a way that they are able to penetrate into any microcracks of the base, completely filling them. Thus, a stable waterproofing surface is formed, most often not requiring additional primer.

The Make FLOOR composition is offered in different packaging and, by and large, everyone can reliably equip their stairwell with it, making it beautiful and safe at the same time. The durability factor of such a floor covering also plays a significant role. Once you have arranged the staircase, you can forget about the need to repair it for many years.

Cleaning at the stairs  simple: just wash the steps with plain water with any detergent. You do not have to deal with the endless dusting of concrete, which is both annoying and harmful to health at the same time. By the way, the innovative composition allows you to create a quality floor, even on a wooden base and on many other surfaces.

It is worth noting that the “Make FLOOR” kit has passed a number of necessary tests and meets all sanitary and hygienic standards, therefore it can be used to equip stairs in children's and medical facilities.
