Why Choose Onyx Black Non-Slip Stair Treads?
ComposiGrip™ Onyx Black stair tread covers and strips provide a clean, professional appearance while adding a dedicated high-traction surface to suitable stairs.
Black is particularly well suited to steel, concrete, industrial stairs, darker wood, commercial entrances and contemporary architectural finishes.
The dark finish can also hide everyday dirt and scuff marks more effectively than some lighter colors, making it a practical visual choice for many high-use stairways.
Black Stair Tread Covers vs. Black Stair Strips
Both ComposiGrip™ products provide a textured traction surface, but they are designed for different amounts of stair coverage.

- 12", 18" and 32" lengths
- Low-profile design
- Suitable for wood, concrete, metal and composite steps

Black Non-Slip Stair Treads for Wood, Concrete & Metal
Wood & Deck Stairs
Black tread covers and strips can provide a strong visual contrast on many natural or painted wood stair surfaces.
Repair loose boards, rot or structural deterioration before installing any stair cover or strip.
Concrete Steps
Onyx Black creates a clean visual contrast against many light and medium-gray concrete stair surfaces.
Existing concrete should be stable, and deteriorated areas should be repaired before installation.
Metal & Steel Stairs
Black is a natural fit for many steel, utility and industrial stair environments.
Use a fastening method appropriate to the specific metal stair construction.
Black Outdoor Stair Treads for Rain, Snow & Ice
Outdoor stairs can become slippery from rain, frost, snow, ice, melting water and changing seasonal conditions. ComposiGrip™ Black stair tread covers and strips provide a dedicated textured traction surface for suitable outdoor stairs.
The Onyx Black 48-inch tread cover is designed for indoor and outdoor use and is listed as water and UV resistant. Black strips are also designed for year-round indoor and outdoor applications.
Anti-slip products do not replace normal snow, ice and debris removal. Keep the stair surface reasonably clear so the traction pattern remains exposed.

Remove dirt and loose debris and confirm the stair dimensions before positioning the tread cover or strip.
