have no fear,it is anti-slip.the dutch product is directly glued to the old staircase,quick-step stair system is floating laminate planks.in both cases there is a few milimiters gap between floorboard and stair sides.

We used to install on many stairs in the UK. As the stair nosing is slightly higher than the laminate, this helps people get a firmer grip on the step. Also people take a little more care when going up & down as they know its not going to be the same as carpet.

quick-step recommends to use Unisound orCombi-Floor Plus underlayment.there is no need to use underlay for the dutch stair makeover product as the treads are directly glued to the old staircase.

it is also easier to clean compared to carpet

see videos of laminate flooring on stairs www.youtube.com/TheFloorfitter

We never floated the boards! They were always glued directly to the existing treads for safety
