If the stairs are being used by young or elderly then one of the simplest ways to improve safety on the stairs is to have a handrail both sides,’ agrees Peter Wright. ‘This is a particular benefit for people with knee or hip issues as it gives them a better balance being able to hold on both side. It also makes it easier to comfortably control their rate of descent.’ If you don't like the look of a fully carpeted staircase but are worried that wood could prove too slippery, consider a stair runner idea. Runners providethebest of both worlds, the narrow-width floorcoverings run down the centre of the staircase exposing the wood at the sides of the staircase.

They provide a straightforward and efficient answer to typical safety concerns, keeping staircases hazard-free during renovations or decorating tasks.

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.’ Tested and Approved: Flowflex's Safety Stair Rods have even been approved for use by organisations like British Gas.

While it’s not possible to go in retrospectively and make these changes in every home, quite often, where there are changes to building regulations, it applies to new homes and any homes where there are substantial renovations. It might depend on the circumstances, but there is a likelihood it will apply to homes being renovated,’ adds Ashley. Clearly, the choice is yours and there is no right or wrong answer. However, if you prefer something more toning in appearance, then choose a matching finish such as chrome on a pale grey carpet or polished brass on a busy, patterned design featuring amber, yellows and mid brown tones. You could also consider toning in with other metal fixtures in the vicinity such as wall lighting, door threshold strips or door handles.

Yes, Safety Stair Rods are made with robust materials, designed to last, and provide long-term protection for your carpets. As a reusable product, they can help you reduce your use of single-use products. Who can benefit from using Safety Stair Rods? 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. Carpet Protector: Besides safety, these rods help protect carpets, runners, and floors from damage during maintenance or decorating activities. By holding dust sheets securely, they prevent them from moving and letting paint or contaminants to the fabrics and surfaces underneath. Always make sure the floorcoverings on the stairs are in very good condition,’ advises Ashley. Look out for any rips or tears in carpet and repair them immediately, and ensure your surfaces are non slip. It’s not an area where you want to see a highly polished finish.’ The Government has committed to a consultation on the subject within a year, and RoSPA is very hopeful that the lobbying will be successful. ‘This simple change could help reduce falls on stairs quite dramatically.’ What can I do to make my existing stairs safe?
