Trying to decide if Hardwood or Hard surface flooring options is right for you on the stairs, we are happy to help you with that decision. There are a few things to keep in mind if you are trying to decide whether or not to go with Hardwood or Carpet on stairs. As both can be stylish and functional options, you really have to choose what is right for your household.
Maintenance and longevity, our top pick would be to choose Hardwood or even a LVP Hard surface Flooring option. When it comes to cleaning and taking care of a Hardwood product, it is definitely an easier option to care for. Stairs just need a good sweeping or even a quick damp towel if you have a lot of dust, but other than that it is easy to care for. The other positive to Hardwood flooring on the stairs is you will get a much longer use out of it. Carpet, in this high traffic area, will need to be replaced more frequently as the carpet starts to wear out and get matted down from the foot traffic issues. Carpet will also need to be vacuumed and professionally cleaned throughout the life of the carpet in order to keep it looking nice. Hard surface Flooring
Costs of Hardwood or Hard surface flooring on stairs, yes this option for the most part will cost more then doing carpet on your stairs. Depending on the quality of carpet that you choose you can expect to pay more for Hardwood on your stairs then Carpet. Based on the cost difference and the return on the investment of putting a hardwood flooring on your stairs, we would stick with invest in the hardwood flooring option. Whether you are keeping your home or planning to sale it most people love the luxury the visual look of Hardwood or Hard surface flooring. The value that Hardwood adds to your home is much higher then the costs save you will have with Carpet, you really can’t beat the value of the beauty of Hardwood.
One last thing to consider when choosing wether to purchase Hardwood on your carpet is your family lifestyle, children, pets, etc sometimes tend to make a lot of noise running up and down the stairs. A bonus with carpet is that you get a natural sound absorption as well as a cushion under foot. There is always the option to add a runner of carpet over your Hardwood stairs to help with the sound absorption. If you are concerned with noise then this may be a deal breaker in getting Hardwood flooring.
