Vinyl Stair Treads vs. Aluminum

The difference between aluminum vs. vinyl stair treads comes down to whether you’re looking for a long-term or short-term solution. At Amstep Products, we make it easy to find the right stair treads material for your needs.

 

Vinyl stair treads can be found in common places where there’s heavy foot traffic. The problem is that the material wears down quickly, which can easily burn a hole in your budget. The material itself is popular for its looks, but is a poor choice for long term sustainability.

 

We recommend our aluminum non-slip stair treads because they are durable and outlast versions made from vinyl, carpet, and wood. Our star treads are made with an aircraft-grade aluminum base with a mixture of epoxy and abrasive materials.

 

Aluminum stair treads are one of the best solutions for busy, walkable areas. Plus, they also provide a more professional-look than vinyl. The latter can appear boring or cheap.

 

While it’s true that aluminum stairs may cost more than vinyl, we make sure you get an affordable modern option without extraneous teardown costs. Here’s a look at our stair treads:

 

SERIES 300 Stair Treads

series 300 stair nosings for manufacturersAmstep 300 Series stair nosings go over existing stairs and provide 3 to 5 inches of durable non slip surface superior to standard rubber stair treads. They can go over worn out existing embedded stair nosing or provide a new non slip front edge to a worn or slippery step. They can go over wood, metal and even vinyl stairs. They come in many colors and provide a visual contrast to the front edge of your steps. They are also available with Sightline and Glowline options for increased visibility even in the dark.
