Stairs are often used at home, but the surface of stairs is often smooth and easy to slip, especially for the elderly and children. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of family members, we can install floor mats on the stairs, which can increase friction and prevent slipping.
At the same time, stair step mats have other benefits, such as sound absorption and wear resistance. Let's introduce them in detail.
operation steps
1. measure the size of stair tread: before buying floor mats, you need to measure the size of stair tread to ensure the proper size of floor mats. You can use a tape measure or a ruler to measure and record the length and width of the stair step.
2. Choose a suitable floor mat: the material and thickness of the floor mat will affect its anti-slip, sound absorption and wear resistance. Generally speaking, the thickness of the mat is 1-2cm, and the material can be rubber, PVC and other non-slip materials.
3. Cleaning the stair tread: Before installing the floor mat, it is necessary to clean the stair tread to ensure that the floor mat can be firmly attached to it. Cleaning agent and wet cloth can be used for cleaning.
4. installing the floor mat: place the floor mat on the stair step, and adjust the position to ensure that the floor mat completely fits the stair step. If the size of the mat is not suitable, you can use tools such as scissors to cut it to ensure that the mat is suitable.
5. fixing the floor mat: use glue or double-sided tape to fix the floor mat on the stair step. If the mat is thick, you can use nails to fix the mat on the stair step, but be careful not to nail the stair step.
Benefits
1. Anti-skid: The surface of stair tread mat has anti-skid material, which can increase friction and prevent slipping, especially in wet environment.
2. Sound absorption: the stair tread mat can absorb the noise generated when the footsteps fall to the ground, reduce the vibration of the stair tread and make the home quieter.
3. Wear resistance: the material of stair tread mat is relatively wear-resistant, which can prolong the service life of stair tread and reduce the cost of maintenance and replacement.
