About this deal

So if you ripped out your rail in favour of a fancy wall panelling idea, you really should consider reinstating it to align with staircase safety tips. Durability: Made with sturdy materials, these rods are designed to last, providing secure protection for your carpets, which can be reused over and over again. Ideally you want handrails both sides of your staircase,’ says Ashley. ‘In some properties, that might be difficult, but do have them where possible. That will significantly reduce the risk of falling and give you something to grab onto if you do start to stumble.’ 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.’ 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. The pewter finish of these Sphere carpet rods helps provide an accent against the white staircase

Approved for Use: Flowflex's Safety Stair Rods have been approved by organisations like British Gas, highlighting their reliability and effectiveness.Effective Protection: By securing dust sheets, these rods prevent them from moving, ensuring that your carpets are protected from spills, stains, and wear.

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? Safety First: Reusable rods designed to secure dust sheets and carpet protectors on stairs, preventing slips and trips. 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.’ 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.’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.

Peter Wright is Sales Manager at Neville Johnson: ‘When renovating a staircase, we always observe these standards and recommend additional safeguards where appropriate. There are many older staircases that don’t meet the current regulations so we look to improve the safety in any work we do.' Tested and Approved: Flowflex's Safety Stair Rods have even been approved for use by organisations like British Gas. Safety Stair Rods have been successfully used by many customers to protect their carpets during renovations. They have even been endorsed by organisations like British Gas, highlighting their reliability and effectiveness.

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.’ Prevention of Slips and Trips: The primary purpose of the Safety Stair Rods is to prevent slips and trips on stairs. When decorators or homeowners lay dust sheets or other types of sheeting on stairs, it can disguise the edge of each step, or worse grouping up, making it easy for someone to misstep, slip, or trip. Safety stair rods hold these sheets tight and securely in place, reducing the risk of accidents. I’ve been asked to write a review of Safety Stair Rods for the Decorators Forum UK. I thought it might be a good idea to start with a real-life example of why I think these are a good idea, and an important addition to your kit to help you work in a safer way.Both terms are widely use and are interchangeable. Are carpet runner rods suitable for fitted carpets? 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. 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. Safety gates are useful for children up to the age of 24 months,’ says Ashley Martin. ‘We don’t recommend them for children older than that, because the safety standard on such gates is only applicable to children up to 24 months. It’s related to the child’s weight and ability to either climb or open the gate once they reach 24 months. It’s important that as children move from the crawling to the toddling stage that they are then well versed in how to use the stairs safely, through guidance and supervision.’ If you are painting your staircase, use specialist floorboard paint or non-slip paint designed for use on wood.
