Timber Staircase Covering

Timber staircase floor coverings offer a polished, architectural look that complements hardwood flooring and modern interiors. Whether you’re matching new engineered timber or updating older treads, we provide options that balance slip resistance with natural style.


These coverings are cut to size, covering the treads and risers and professionally finished to handle foot traffic without compromising visual appeal. From classic oak tones to warm Australian species, you’ll find a timber look that ties in seamlessly with the rest of your home.


Our team can guide you through slip-rated finishes, board widths and installation styles that work best for your staircase layout. Ask us how to match your timber stairs to your floors.

Carpeted Stairs for Comfort & Safety

Carpeted staircase coverings add a layer of comfort and safety that’s hard to beat. They soften the impact of each step, reduce noise across multiple levels and help prevent slips—ideal for homes with young children, pets or elderly residents.



You can choose full coverage across treads and risers or opt for a stair runner for a more traditional look. We offer a wide range of carpet types, including nylon, wool and polyester, with different colours, textures and pile heights to suit your home’s style and traffic levels.


Every installation is measured, cut and finished to fit your staircase perfectly, giving you a polished result that performs well over time. Chat with our team about tailored carpet options for your stairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Are carpeted stairs safer than timber?

    Yes, carpeted stairs generally offer better traction and cushioning, reducing the risk of slips and softening the impact of any falls. Timber stairs can be slippery, especially in socks or smooth-soled shoes, making them riskier for children, elderly people or anyone with mobility concerns. Carpet also absorbs sound, creating a quieter, more comfortable feel underfoot. However, safety also depends on proper installation—loose carpet can be hazardous. If you’re weighing up your options, consider both the safety features and the maintenance levels of each surface before deciding.

  • What’s the difference between stair runners and full coverage?

    A stair runner is a strip of carpet that runs down the centre of the staircase, leaving the edges of the stairs visible. It’s often chosen for style, allowing timber finishes to show through, and can be replaced more easily. Full coverage means the entire stair tread and riser are carpeted, providing maximum comfort, noise reduction and slip resistance. While both add traction, runners are usually more decorative, whereas full coverage focuses more on function and uniformity. The right choice depends on your aesthetic, budget and safety needs.

  • What materials work best for staircase coverings?

    The best materials for staircase coverings depend on your needs for safety, durability and style. Carpet is a top choice for noise reduction and slip resistance, particularly wool or nylon varieties. Timber provides a classic, hard-wearing finish that suits modern or traditional homes but can be slippery without non-slip treads or finishes. Vinyl or laminate can also work, offering a budget-friendly, easy-clean option. Stair runners combine aesthetic appeal with function by adding grip and visual interest. Ultimately, the right material balances safety, maintenance and how you want the space to look and feel.
