What is stair cladding and what is it used for?

Stair cladding is a great option for transforming the look and feel of an existing staircase, without having to start from scratch and replace the whole thing. If you’re working on an older staircase that needs a refresh, or simply want to improve the look or the functionality of your stairs with minimal effort, staircase cladding is ideal for your project.

Stair cladding is a cover that fits over the stringer, stair tread and riser, giving the stair steps a new appearance whilst also providing extra protection and durability. Cladding for stairs can be made from various materials including wood, laminate, vinyl or carpet depending on your customer’s budget and preferences. Different styles of step treads can be used to either blend into the rest of the flooring in the home or create a contrasting statement piece to add character and texture to the space. They can also help to level out the surface of the steps and provide more grip and comfort for the feet, helping to reduce noise and even improve safety. The customisation possibilities and cost-effectiveness that stair cladding provides make it an ideal option for upgrading a staircase.

We’ve got an excellent range of stair tread cladding to suit the job at hand, with many of our treads and kits being very easy to install, with minimal disruption to the existing stair steps. Stair tread kits can usually be quickly secured to the staircase steps using adhesive or fasteners.

What types of staircase cladding kits do we have available?
