The non-slip all-weather stair covering

The most popular stair coverings from WARCO for indoor and outdoor staircases
Stair covering for external stairs
The question often arises as to how the safety of use of a staircase can be improved. The main criteria are safe accessibility in all weathers and ease of installation. The aesthetics of the staircase also play an important role.
A stair covering from WARCO fulfills these requirements and much more. This is because it is made of PU-bonded rubber granules and has a rough, slightly grainy surface with a good grip. This makes it naturally non-slip. And that in both wet and dry conditions. This stair covering also drains water quickly and the surface dries quickly.
If someone does trip or fall on the stairs, the WARCO stair covering reduces the risk of injury as it provides fall protection.
Particularly advantageous: a stair covering from WARCO prevents impact noise. No noise is produced when walking on the stairs, even with hard shoes. The covering also dampens vibrations that can occur with wooden or metal staircase constructions.
Simply stick on new stair covering
A stair covering from WARCO can be easily installed on any staircase. The handy panels are cut to size directly on the staircase and glued to the existing stair surface. In the case of grating stairs, the cut-to-size panels can also be clamped. To achieve a uniform appearance, the treads and risers should be covered with the tiles.
WARCO offers two alternatives for bonding. Either the particularly strong PU adhesive OP, which adheres permanently elastic to almost any substrate.
Or ALLESDICHT as the best choice if the staircase is to be permanently protected against penetrating moisture. ALLESDICHT is the thick-layer sealant without harmful solvents, which dries after filling to form a rubber skin with an elasticity of over 200 %. The stair plates are simply pressed into the damp ALLESDICHT layer - and adhere.
Finally, a metal or plastic edge protection profile is glued to the front edge of each step. This protects the edge from excessive wear and conceals the joint between the tread and riser.
Stair covering made of rubber granulate - durable and easy to clean
WARCO stair covering is easy to maintain, durable and naturally weatherproof. Heat in summer, cold in winter, frequent changes between frost and thaw - this stair covering can withstand all this without cracking, bursting or breaking. Even ice and snow have little effect on the WARCO stair covering and it can be gritted with road salt or chippings to prevent slippery surfaces.
Small dirt particles, such as dust from the air, disappear all by themselves the next time it rains. This is because they are simply rinsed through the tiles. Coarse dirt can be removed with a broom, high-pressure cleaner or vacuum cleaner.
As a rule, ants do not settle under WARCO flooring because the tiles do not offer any protection from precipitation. Weeds and moss do not find any nutrients in WARCO tiles and therefore do not grow on or in the joints when used properly.
Ideas for staircase design
Two small, elegant steps lead into a backyard. Gray WARCO tiles were not only laid in the backyard, but also on the steps.
This results in a harmonious overall appearance. Now all that remains to be done is to cover the unfinished adjoining shoulder with appropriate tiles.
On external stairs made of grating, WARCO stair coverings dampen the annoying metallic rattling that is typical of grating.
The elastic covering prevents footfall noise and absorbs vibrations from the metal construction, thus preventing the propagation of structure-borne noise in the building.
This is not only advantageous for external stairs, but also for stairs in buildings.
A metal or plastic stair nosing should be glued to the front edge of each step. This protects the edge from excessive wear.

It also creates an elegant look that makes the staircase appear even more sophisticated.
Warco stair coverings are made of rubber granulate and can be easily machined, cut and sawn. And with conventional tools.
This makes it easy even for inexperienced users to lay them around railings or other obstacles.
Thanks to the wide variety of colors and designs in our range, you too can find the right shade to match your ideas.
