Depending on the type of protection needed, select either Ram Board Stair Armor or Trimaco Stay Put. For open stairs that will experience heavy traffic, use Ram Board Stair Armor. This heavy-duty cardboard comes with pre-folds and an anti-slip backing, allowing it to sit neatly on treads and risers. Overlap sections for full coverage and secure them with green painter's tape. If stairs will be covered by scaffolding or require general protection against spills and impacts, use Trimaco Stay Put. Unroll this reusable, waterproof padding down the stairs. Its pressure-activated sticky backing adheres to both vertical and horizontal surfaces. Simply align it to the treads and press down with your hands to secure it. Trim any excess material with scissors or a utility knife.
