Oval braided stair treads are a perfect way to bring both style and safety to your staircase.
Designed to add a luxurious touch with their cozy, woven look, these stair treads protect against slips while making every step feel warmer and more inviting.
Oval braided stair treads fit beautifully with carpet stair treads, making it easy to upgrade any staircase with high-quality, American-made style.
What Are Oval Braided Stair Treads?
Oval braided stair treads are coverings crafted from braided materials—like cotton, jute, or durable synthetics—in an oval shape that fits each step.
They offer a rustic, traditional charm while providing a non-slip surface that feels great underfoot.
Unlike full stair runners, these treads cover only the step’s surface, blending form with function for a flexible, family-friendly upgrade.

- Stair Protection: Treads help prevent wear and tear, protecting stairs from scuffs, scratches, and dents.
- Beautiful Style: The braided, oval design creates a warm, inviting look that complements both traditional and modern décor—whether on indoor steps or unique setups like hexagon deck stairs.
- Quieter Steps: These treads reduce noise, giving you a quieter, more peaceful home environment.
What Are the Best Materials for Oval Braided Stair Treads?
Choosing the right material enhances both the look and durability of oval braided stair treads.
Popular options include:

Selecting the right material can help you tailor the feel and look of your stairs to suit your unique style.
Exploring Different Shapes and Sizes of Stair Treads
While oval treads offer a unique look, there are other shapes and sizes available.
Options include:
- Rectangular: Provides a more modern, full-step coverage.
- Crescent or Half-moon: Adds a decorative flair without covering the entire step.
- Hexagon Deck Stairs: These shapes are ideal for outdoor setups, like hexagon-shaped steps on decks, giving both style and functionality.
Oval treads bring a blend of classic appeal and modern versatility, making them a great fit for various stair designs.
How Do Oval Braided Stair Treads Compare to Rectangular Treads?
Considering the difference between oval and rectangular stair treads helps you find the best fit for your home.
- Shape and Style: Oval braided treads have a softer, more traditional look, while rectangular ones offer a clean, modern style.
- Fit and Coverage: Rectangular treads cover more surface area, while oval options add a decorative accent that enhances any staircase with a touch of charm.
