Protecting Stairs? We've Got You Covered.

Customers are often reaching out to us in person about protecting all sorts of finishes, no matter how big or seemingly tricky. One common household feature that ticks both of those boxes is stairs. Heaps of great options are available for floors of every type, yet some people believe that few products for stairs exist. Fortunately, two great options are available; Adhesive Felt Max and RamBoard Stair Armor. 

Our new Adhesive Felt Max has proven to be an extremely versatile finish protection. Because it is so good at protecting so many different surfaces, it has become a local hit for protecting stairs among our local custom homebuilders. 

This material has a soft textile top layer bonded to an adhesive plastic base; allowing it to be both soft to the touch and durable all while staying securely in place. Stairs, tubs, countertops, appliances and more are all commonly protected with Adhesive Felt Max protection. Rolls are available in 39" wide by 82' sizes, totaling 267 square feet per roll. 

Another popular option for protecting stairways is RamBoard's Stair Armor. Stair Armor is made from a durable paper based material like RamBoard and many other comparable protection products. This makes it affordable and easy to trim to size if needed. Stair Armor only requires tape for installation (such as 14 Day Edge Tape), and is offered in packs of 6 tread protectors per unit. Stair Armor is 34" wide, ensuring hat no cutting is needed on standard residential staircases.

Stair Damage? Try Our Hard Surface Films

Stairs are some of the most difficult finishes to protect. The vast majority of floor protection products struggle to protect stair treads because they cannot stay attached to the backs of stairs without a laborious process of cutting and taping. While this method works well for protecting stairs and we have had many customers rely on this method with CoverGuard and RamBoard, it is very time intensive.

To save time protecting stairs we recommend using Hard Surface Films. Films feature adhesives which allow them to quickly roll onto and stick onto stairs. Hard Surface Films offer 3-mil protection from dust, boots, and light equipment. While not as strong as plastic or fiber based floor protection products, films make up for it in their ease and versatility of use. Vertical surfaces, undersides of finishes, and a wide variety of finishes can be protected by films. Films can protect tile, wood, granite, rubber, linoleum, and most other solid surfaces.

We offer Hard Surface Film in 24" x 200' rolls and 36" x 500' rolls. Films are rated for 45 day use. If needed for longer, films can be quickly removed and reapplied, ensuring that finishes are protected for the duration of a project.

Specially designed for stairs in mind, stair carpet film is regular wound making it easier to apply to the vertical surface on stairs. Whereas standard adhesive surface protection films are reverse wound, regular wound stair carpet film is designed with stairs in mind. Regular wound film allows the user to quickly push the film down the vertical stair treads, ensuring better adhesion to the backs of stairs.

Carpet film for stairs in available in 32" x 200' lengths, covering up to 533 sqft of carpeted stairs. Carpet Film is 3.0 mils thick, which offers more protection than discount 2.0 mil films do. Each roll is $63.00.

Use 10 Mil CoverGuard for Floors, Carpets, Stairs, and Nearly Anything Else

We now stock 10 mil Orange Economy CoverGuard, an ideal and cost effective floor protection solution. At 10 mils thick, it is 40% the thickness of standard 25 mil CoverGuard. Because standard CoverGuard is so strong and durable, for many light duty projects it is essentially overkill - making it unnecessarily strong and heavy for the task at hand. While 25 mil CoverGuard is suited to handling heavy equipment and tools, it may be excessive for foot traffic and light use. The new 10 mil CoverGuard then fills the surface protection niche or being reusable and cost effective on a price per sqft basis.

This new updated CoverGuard is already being used by our customers to protect high end carpeting in custom home projects. Because is it stronger than standard films and because it is reusable, 10 mil CoverGuard can be a cost effective solution for carpet protection. The same can be said in regards to RamBoard, whose composite fibers don't hold up as well over time as the plastic-based CoverGuard can. Stairs, tile, hardwood, concrete, countertops, and any number of other hard surfaces can all be reliably and safely protected by 10 mil CoverGuard.

CoverGuard Economy 10mil is sold in rolls of 36" x 393', totalling 1180 sqft. Each roll is currently discounted and retails for $200 on our website, a savings of $27 off of MSRP. Given that 10 mil CoverGuard is four times the length of RamBoard, Economy CoverGuard's cost per square foot is actually lower than RamBoard's.
