Will they damage my hardwood stairs?

No adhesive is used — the carpet-grip bottom holds the tread in place without any floor contact that could scratch or damage the wood.

What width do I need?

Measure the width of your stairs — Gorilla Grip treads come in 8", 9", and 10" widths to fit most standard residential staircases.

Why are stairs the highest-risk fall location in the home, and what does a non-slip tread actually contribute?

Staircase falls are disproportionately serious because falls occur over multiple steps rather than from standing height, and the combination of height, impact, and edge contact produces severe injuries. The leading edge of each step — where the foot lands on descent — is the highest-risk point, particularly on bare hardwood or polished surfaces.
