  2. Are you looking for the best anti-slip options for wood staircases in your home? Well, no one knows you better than yourself, which is why you should be the best judge when it comes to protecting your family from slip and fall accidents that result in bruises, cuts, and even broken bones. Fortunately, there are a variety of different anti-slip products that can be added to stairs to reduce the chance of injury and, if possible, to prevent serious structural damage.

  3. Let's take a look at a few of these options, and how they work. If you're concerned about durability, then Non-Slip Stair Treadsand risers are probably the best options. These products provide an excellent, non-marking surface that is highly resilient against both jagged edges and actual falls. To install them, simply secure them to both the railing and the tread, and then do your usual installation job, including attaching the handrails and stringing them through the turns.

  4. Once installed, you can easily forget they're there. Non-slip decking is also available for wood stairs. Unfortunately, since most decks are made out of solid materials, the decking has to be much more durable than the stair treads and risers will be. As a result, you'll likely end up spending more money on this type of product. However, like the treads and risers, they provide excellent traction as well as excellent anti-slip qualities.

  5. In fact, decking made from untreated wood usually provides a better grip than other decking materials, such as pre-grooved rubber, because it's not sealed and has been exposed to outdoor conditions. You can find non-slips decking at most home improvement stores. If you'd prefer to have the stair treads and risers with the treads and carpet as well, then you'll want to go with epoxy finishes. Epoxy finishes provide very good traction, are very affordable, and are resistant to many types of staining.

  6. Plus, if you ever need to get on top of a chair or table leg, just put on the epoxy first, grab the leg, and pull it back down. This way, the finish stays put. Epoxy finishes also offer a non-slippage quality. They're much less slippery than other finishes, which can make a huge difference when you're walking up and down those stairs.

  7. Stain-resistant floor finishes are also available, which can help you avoid stains from hardwood, tile, and ceramic tile surfaces. These floor finishes may be less durable than epoxy, but they offer a solid, non-dusting surface. These types of finishes can be found in both pre-stain and post-stain styles. Epoxy and stain-resistant finishes are excellent choices for a home with children, though the durability of these finishes may be a deciding factor in your choice. Adding Handrails.

  8. Many stair treads and handrails have a non-deteriorating quality that makes them ideal for homes with children. In fact, these non-deterspershing options can help prevent scratches from household items, which can happen with heavy furniture, especially if your stairway is in a child's room. If you don't already have handrails, consider purchasing a few extra handrails and install them throughout your staircase.

  9. Adding Anti-Slip Treads. Many manufacturers sell anti-slip treads for stair treads. These are typically used on hardwood or carpeted stairs, though they may also be recommended for use on wood or tile. An anti-slip tread is designed to provide traction between the carpeting and the stairs, reducing the potential for slips and falls. These treads will also add a non-scratch safety feature, so you'll be protecting your investment as well as your family.

  10. There are many other types of stair treads and handrails available, made from tougher, more durable materials, which may last longer than treads made from lighter, less durable materials. Look for finishes such as black oxide, red oxide, white nosing, brushed aluminum, brushed steel, brass, bronze, copper, and nickel-plated treads. Consider adding handrails and balusters made from rubber resins, too, to create a smooth, non-scratch surface. With quality products, you'll be adding stair treads and handrails that will last for many years.
