Product Information

Approved for Use: Flowflex's Safety Stair Rods have been approved by organisations like British Gas, highlighting their reliability and effectiveness. Earlier this year I was decorating the hall, stairs and landing in a large house. I had dust sheets all the way up the stairs, and (as I always do) warned the customer every time she went near the stairs to be careful, because the sheets can disguise where the edge of the stair is, meaning it’s easy to slip or lose your footing. So, I was working away, and had my ladder about three quarters of the way up the stairs, just beyond the point where they turned 90 degrees on the way up to the landing. If you are painting your staircase, use specialist floorboard paint or non-slip paint designed for use on wood.

Durable and Reusable: Made with robust materials, these stair rods provide a long-term solution to safety and clean working areas. The result of improving these safety standards for stair design will significantly reduce the number of people needlessly dying and getting hurt. ‘It’s been estimated that by building all stairs to that standard it would reduce falls by around 60%,’ says Ashley Martin. ‘RoSPA is of course concerned about falls on stairs as they claim around 700 lives every year, and around 37,000 hospital admissions. This is a significant number, particularly when you consider the consequences of the fall. People, quite often, when they’ve had a fall, never recover their full mobility and strength.’ Safety Stair Rods prevent dust sheets from moving, ensuring that carpets are protected from spills, stains, and wear during renovations. They also reduce the risk of trips and slips on staircases. Are Safety Stair Rods durable and reusable?This covers such key areas as the spacing between spindles, handrail heights, installing guarding adjacent to drops and avoiding horizontal features that can encourage children to climb.’

Fitting stair rods to your staircase is a decorative statement. Personal choice is certainly part of the decision-making process. However, it is also worth considering what finish will flatter your staircase and stair runner. Ultimately, choosing a stair rod finish which is visible and attracts the eye, rather than matching and therefore unobtrusive, is desirable. That is why we offer the ultimate in choice with over 40 different designs of stair carpet rods, in many different finishes, rod styles and sizes. Take a look and find a design to suit your home or project. Make a statement with stair runner rods – shown here Balladeer. What is the difference between a carpet rod and a stair rod? Reusability: As a reusable product, Safety Stair Rods can help you rely less on single-use products such as an adhesive carpet protector.
