Hard surfaces often lack the friction needed for a secure tread and can be quite slippery.</p><p>However, it's worth noting that some carpets can also be slick, particularly if they are brand new, dirty, or made from certain materials. If any stair surface feels too slippery, traction treads can be added to most materials to increase grip and improve safety.</p></div>

Q: Are bamboo floors high maintenance?

• <div><p>Bamboo floors are fairly low-maintenance. You&rsquo;ll need to sweep or vacuum them regularly to remove debris and rub off scuffs quickly to prevent permanent damage.
