A floor covering designed specifically for use on steps, typically long and narrow, and often affixed to the center of each tread. The color of this particular type of stair protector is a shade of blue. Examples include coverings with navy, azure, or teal hues, each offering a distinct aesthetic within the broader spectrum of blue tones.
The use of these coverings offers several advantages, including enhanced safety by increasing traction and reducing the risk of slips. They also provide acoustic dampening, minimizing noise from foot traffic. Historically, such coverings were a sign of affluence and served to protect the underlying stair material from wear and tear, extending its lifespan while adding a decorative element to the home.
