Is woven carpet the best for stairs?

Stair Carpets & Landings · Historic BCC Q&A archive

Woven carpets can be a very good choice for stairs due to durability, dense finishes and good traction, which helps reduce slipping and wear in high-traffic areas. They also tend to have fewer visible seams. However, suitability depends on stair construction, traffic levels and the look you want. Other weaves or pile types may be preferable in some cases. If you would like to see specific stairs options, the Taren Point showroom can show samples and discuss installation considerations. You can contact them on 02 9526 6421.
