Vinyl Stair Treads vs. Aluminum
September 23, 2022Adhesive Stair Treads vs. Aluminum
November 18, 2022
When it comes to aluminum vs. hardwood stair treads, the question of affordability has recently changed with the growing cost of lumbar in the United states.
We know hardwood stair treads are popular due to their looks. But not only can they be more expensive than aluminum stair treads, they can be more prone to wear and tear. That means replacing them sooner and spending more money in the end.
The life expectancy of hardwood stair treads is significantly shorter than aluminum, which is our most popular material. Aluminum stair treads may last the entire lifetime of the building. Some of the most common use cases for aluminum stair treads include public transit, parking garages, heavily used areas, and more.
At Amstep, our non-slip stair treads are made with an aircraft-grade aluminum base with a mixture of epoxy and abrasive materials. This proves a durable and long lasting solution. Aluminum also provides a sleeker, more up-scale look to your stairs than hardwood.
At Amstep, we make aluminum stair treads affordable for you. We provide a modern option without the extra teardown construction costs. We’re the right choice for you if you’re looking for something that won’t break your budget or disrupt day-to-day traffic.
