Stair Safety, A Must for every home

I was lucky to try a new product for our stairs recently.
And it couldn't have come at a better timing too.




During Sophia's birthday party outdoors, we had a small accident involving the stairs.


These steps

One of our friend slipped going up these steps and luckily someone was behind her and caught her from behind! 

It would've been a bad fall indeed so I knew I had to install something to avoid any slippage and accidents from happening again.

We tried these in the past...

Grip Tape (Not our stairs but similar to what we had)

But this happened to ours too
So when I was contacted by HANDI-TREADS to try out their non-slip tread, I jumped at the chance!

Our stairs went from this...


.. to This...



Actually, before I agreed to doing this post for the company,
I researched a bit about Handi Treads myself.

I love the fact that this product will not wear out with repeated use and that " Its raised button surface grips on to your shoe or foot and provides instant traction"!


You don't have to do a lot of reading, but maybe this video will help you understand why I think this is such a lifesaver...



Installing was a breeze. You just need a drill and viola - piece of mind on the steps!


Now, we are assured of safe steps on this especially come summer time when the pool is open and everyone is wet going up and down these steps!!!!

Just wanted to share with you our family Halloween photo

Have a Wonderful Weekend!

  5. Oh my gosh - I was at a client's house this week and they have these super steep stone steps up to their house. It was raining and I totally thought I was going to fall as I was leaving. These strips would be an excellent idea for them!
