Outdoor Grip Strips for Steps
ComposiGrip™ outdoor grip strips for steps provide focused traction where people walk without covering the entire stair. Their low-profile design makes them a practical option for decks, porches, exterior entrances, garden steps, ramps and other walking surfaces exposed to moisture and changing weather.
These durable anti-slip strips for steps can be used on wood, concrete, metal and composite surfaces. They are particularly useful when the existing stair is structurally sound but needs additional grip along the main walking area.
What Are Non-Slip Stair Strips?
Non-slip stair strips are narrow traction surfaces installed across part of a stair tread. Instead of covering most of the step like a full stair tread cover, a stair strip adds grip only where additional traction is needed.
ComposiGrip™ stair grip strips feature a durable, textured composite walking surface designed to improve footing on slippery or worn stairs. Their narrower design allows most of the original stair surface to remain visible while adding traction along the primary walking area.
Non-Slip Stair Strips for Wood, Concrete & Metal
ComposiGrip stair strips can be installed on a variety of stair surfaces. The appropriate fastening method depends on the underlying material and application.
Anti-Slip Strips for Rain, Snow & Ice
Outdoor stairs can become slippery when exposed to rain, frost, snow, ice and moisture. ComposiGrip™ outdoor stair strips provide an added traction surface on steps exposed to changing weather and seasonal conditions.
Because the strips are mechanically secured rather than relying only on adhesive, they provide a practical option for exterior stairs where moisture and temperature changes can challenge temporary adhesive products.
12", 18" and 32" Stair Strip Sizes
ComposiGrip stair grip strips are 2 inches wide and available in 12-inch, 18-inch and 32-inch lengths. The range of sizes makes it easier to select the amount of traction coverage that fits your step width and application.
A 12-inch strip can provide focused traction on smaller areas, while 18-inch and 32-inch strips provide more coverage across wider stair treads. Multiple strips can also be positioned across a wider stair when a project requires additional traction.
Colour choices include black, gray, beige and safety yellow, allowing you to coordinate with existing steps or select greater visual contrast.
When to Use Stair Strips Instead of Full Stair Treads
Stair strips are often the better choice when the existing stair is still in good condition and you only need additional traction across the primary walking area. They provide a lower-profile solution and leave more of the existing stair surface visible.
Choose Stair Strips When
You want focused traction without covering most of the original stair tread.
Choose Full Tread Covers When
You want much greater walking-surface coverage and protection for the existing stair and front edge.

Stair Strips vs. Full Stair Tread Covers
Both products add traction, but they provide very different levels of stair coverage. The visual comparison below makes the difference easier to see.
Non-Slip Stair Strips
Best when you want traction along selected areas of the step while keeping most of the original stair visible.
- 2-inch-wide low-profile design
- Focused traction where people step
- Leaves most of the stair visible
- 12", 18" and 32" lengths
- Indoor and outdoor use
Full Stair Tread Covers
Best when you want broader walking-surface coverage and protection for the existing stair and front edge.
- Covers much more of the step
- Broad walking-surface traction
- Protects the front stair edge
- Standard 48-inch covers
- Custom-cut options available
Stair Strips vs. Anti-Slip Tape
Stair strips and anti-slip tape can both add traction, but they use different installation methods and are suited to different applications. ComposiGrip stair strips provide a rigid composite traction surface that is mechanically fastened to the stair, while anti-slip tape generally relies on adhesive.
| Feature | ComposiGrip Stair Strips | Anti-Slip Tape |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Rigid composite stair strip | Flexible adhesive-backed tape |
| Attachment | Mechanically fastened | Adhesive-backed |
| Coverage | Defined 2-inch traction strip | Varies depending on tape width and placement |
| Outdoor Use | Designed for indoor and outdoor applications | Performance depends on adhesive and surface preparation |
| Best For | More substantial focused traction applications | Smaller or temporary traction applications |
Installing Stair Grip Strips
