Flooring Design Dilemma

Anyone use luxury vinyl stair treads? The good, the bad & the ugly plz

13 days ago

We are thinking of using luxury vinyl treads from Cali Floors for our stairs since wooden replacement treads that match our hardwood are waaaay too expensive for our budget. I'd love to hear from you if you have vinyl on your stairs and how they have held up. Are they durable? Slippery? What can you tell me?

What are the treads now? I would use a carpets before LVT, especially with hardwoods. fake wood next to real wood never looks good.

Personally, I think it looks pretty good next to my hardwood. I really don't know about the durability on the stairs so that is why I am look for people who have used it in that manner.

I find LVT treads to be very slippery.
