The best Clear stair treads, compared.
Top pick: Ealyder clear stair treads 10-pack Best value: OQingluan anti-slip tape 10 cm x 10 m – About £18.99 for a 10 cm by 10 m roll with 4.6 from 755 reviews, ahead of the narrow roll and the unreviewed PVC rolls. Updated October 2026.
Clear stair treads are transparent self-adhesive strips and rolls that add grip while leaving wood, tile or paint visible. Buyers mostly fit them to varnished indoor stairs for dogs, older relatives and people in socks. A sound handrail and a lit flight still matter. No listing here publishes a pendulum value, so none of these packs is a 36 result or Approved Document K compliance. Judge a pack by a soft texture, a useful width, and adhesive that stays after a proper clean. Pre-cut packs around 100–150 mm suit a straight wooden flight. A roll suits winders, loft stairs and bunk ladders if you can cut it. A 50 mm roll covers too little of a normal going to be the default. Width, material and the limits of a strip are set out in the [clear stair treads buying guide](/hub/flooring/clear-stair-treads/sub/clear-stair-treads-buying-guide). Diamond grit, or a coarse sandpaper feel, is harsher barefoot and can show dirt.

Personal buying guide
Question 1 of 2
What shape is the flight?
The Ealyder pack is 10 pre-cut clear strips. The title states 15 cm by 76 cm, while a size field says 15 cm by 76 m, which does not match. The price is £15.98. Amazon.co.uk shows 5.0 from 4 reviews, and the listing contains one UK review, dated 8 October 2026. That reviewer found the strips easy to fit on wooden stairs, natural-looking on the wood, and usable by them and a Cavapoo. Three of the four ratings have no text, so there is no repeated complaint and no check of length, peel, dirt or residue. The seller says the surface is soft and that the strips remove without sticky residue. That removal claim is untested in the only review.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A short trial on indoor wooden stairs, if you measure the strips and do not treat four ratings as a track record.
Less suitable: A full flight you want backed by hundreds of reviews, or any order that depends on the 76 m size line.
Specifications
Common questions
How many strips are included?
10 pre-cut strips.
What size does the title state?
15 cm by 76 cm. A separate size field says 15 cm by 76 m, which does not match the title.
Is there a written review?
One UK review describes an easy fit on wooden stairs for the reviewer and a dog. The star line says 4 reviews.
The BIGTEETH roll is clear tape stated as 50 mm by 5 m, the lowest sticker price here at £12.99. That length and width is only 0.25 m². Amazon.co.uk shows 4.8 from 12 reviews, and 11 of the 12 review texts were written in the United States. The UK review says it arrived promptly and did the job. US notes describe a hold on clean plastic, coated wood, quartz and smooth concrete, and one bath review reported no slip in the shower. Several of those reviews describe hard grit like coarse sandpaper, against the seller’s soft-PEVA line, and one reviewer could not cut the grit with good scissors. The listed weight of 18 g is extremely low for a 5 m roll and is not checked in a review.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A short extra strip on a clean edge, if 50 mm is enough and you can check the texture on arrival.
Less suitable: A whole domestic flight, bare feet if the roll turns out gritty, or a decision based on the 4.8 score alone.
Specifications
Common questions
How wide is the tape?
50 mm, on a 5 m roll.
Is the surface soft?
The seller describes soft PEVA. Several US reviews describe coarse grit like sandpaper.
What is the price?
£12.99 on the amazon.co.uk listing checked for this comparison.
This Spurtar pack is 15 clear PEVA strips stated as 6 by 32 inches, with item dimensions of 81.3 by 15.2 by 0.7 cm, at £28.99. Amazon.co.uk shows 4.6 from 1,639 reviews. The first 50 texts match the shorter Spurtar pack, so the score is not an independent trial of the longer strip. Reviewers describe an easy fit on wooden and painted indoor stairs, timber they still wanted on show, and older dogs or people in socks who stopped slipping. One note says to choose the widest option. You can still feel the strip underfoot. Time comments in the sample stay at weeks to a couple of months, and the highlight calls the strips indoor.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A deeper indoor going, when a 24 inch strip would leave too much of the tread bare.
Less suitable: A standard short going where the £22.99 pack already covers the walking line, or a flight you want to treat as outdoor.
Specifications
Common questions
How is this pack different from the other Spurtar listing?
This one is stated as 6 by 32 inches and costs £28.99. The other Spurtar pack is stated as 6 by 24 inches at £22.99.
What is the material?
The listing says PEVA.
Does the listing include a roller?
No roller is listed in the included items for this ASIN.
The Spurtar 15-pack is a set of clear PEVA strips stated as 6 by 24 inches, listed for indoor wooden stairs at £22.99. Amazon.co.uk shows 4.6 from 1,638 reviews, and the first 50 texts are mostly UK notes about a peel-and-stick fit on wooden, painted and varnished steps. Reviewers say the timber still shows, and they mention older dogs, socks and a dog ramp that had been sliding. You can feel the strips underfoot even when they look discreet. Comments that mention time talk about weeks or a couple of months, not years of wear. The listing dimensions of 152.4 by 38.1 cm do not match the 6 by 24 inch bullet, and the review wording overlaps the longer Spurtar pack, so treat this as a shared sample rather than a separate trial.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A straight indoor wooden flight where you want the timber to stay visible, including households with dogs or people in socks.
Less suitable: A deep going that needs the longer strips, outdoor steps, or anyone who needs a published pendulum result.
Specifications
Common questions
How many strips are in the pack?
The listing says 15 pre-cut pieces, stated as 6 by 24 inches.
Are they for outdoor steps?
The highlight calls them indoor stair pads. The listing also asks whether they can be used outdoors, without a separate yes in the bullets.
What do reviewers mention?
The first 50 reviews are mostly UK notes about wooden stairs, dogs and socks. No repeating defect shows in that sample.
The OQingluan listing is a translucent PEVA roll, 10 cm by 10 m, at £18.99. Amazon.co.uk shows 4.6 from 755 reviews. UK notes describe it as very clear once pressed, easy to cut for loft stairs and a bunk-bed ladder, and useful for dogs on stairs and for a bathroom floor after a slip. One reviewer said it was still preventing slips after 18 months, though a couple of strips were coming off by then. It does not stay on the curved parts of a stair; that reviewer keeps pressing the edge. Covering a large laminate floor with it is the expensive way to use a stair roll, and some reviews mention a glow strip the bullets do not specify.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Odd lengths on a straight indoor stair, a loft stair or a bunk ladder, when you can cut a 10 cm roll.
Less suitable: Bullnose curves, a full-floor cover, or a job that needs a published slip test.
Specifications
Common questions
Can you cut it to the stair?
Yes. The listing is a 10 cm by 10 m roll and says it can be cut to size.
Does it leave residue?
The seller says it can be removed without adhesive residue. Reviews do not all retest that claim.
Does it stay on curves?
One UK review says it holds on the flat of the stair and not on the curves.
The LLPT roll is clear diamond-texture tape, 152 mm by 5 m, at £18.99. Amazon.co.uk shows 4.6 from 108 reviews, and the texts mix UK, US and EU buyers. UK notes mention grip on marble or tile holiday-home stairs, a stair-lift threshold and a hallway before a wheelchair ramp, with a see-through film preferred to grey grit tape. The seller says the clear diamond texture may yellow or collect dirt, and an Italian review says the same. A US review found little grip once the surface was wet, and another said the tape pulled paint off trim. A Spanish review cut the 152 mm width into narrower strips because the full width felt too much.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A smooth, degreased indoor stair or threshold where you want a wide clear strip and can accept some discolouring later.
Less suitable: Painted trim you cannot risk lifting, a wet outdoor step, or a rough surface the reviews say holds less well.
Specifications
Common questions
Is it sold as an indoor tape?
The title says indoor clear. Other bullets also mention patios and boats.
Will the clear tape discolour?
The seller says the diamond texture may yellow or collect dirt over time, and that this does not remove the grip.
What do you get?
One roll of self-adhering tape, 152 mm by 5 m.
The BOMEI PACK 15-pack is clear PEVA strips with a roller, at £20.99. The title says 6 by 24 inches, while one bullet says 4 by 24 inches, and one UK review measured about 4 inches. Amazon.co.uk shows 4.5 from 84 reviews. UK notes mention wooden stairs, laminate, a spiral stair and stainless capping after cleaning, plus grip in socks and for dogs and children. The roller is credited with a bubble-free fit, and one 2023 review said the strips held from March to June. They are more noticeable on dark wood than some buyers expected, and lining them up neatly takes care. Remove them slowly if you do not want to mark the wood.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A light indoor timber stair, including a spiral, if you measure the width on arrival and use the roller.
Less suitable: A dark stair where a visible strip would bother you, or a job that depends on a true 6 inch width.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the pack include a roller?
Yes. The listing says 15 packs with one roller.
Are the strips 6 inches wide?
The title says 6 by 24 inches. One UK review says they measured about 4 inches wide.
Where do reviewers stick them?
UK reviews mention wooden stairs, laminate, a spiral stair and stainless capping, after cleaning.
The Peohud pack is 16 clear PEVA strips, stated as 10 cm by 81 cm, with a roller, at £16.99. Amazon.co.uk shows 4.3 from 155 reviews, mostly from the UK in the sample. Reviewers describe an easy fit on oak and other wooden stairs, a strip that is hardly noticeable, and use for elderly dogs indoors and on garden steps. One bathroom-step note reported no more slipping, and one reviewer said the strips were still holding after 3 months. Another UK review said they were not anti-slip at all. A further UK review said they trap dirt and hair and are hard to clean. The 10 cm width covers less of a deep going than a 15 cm strip.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A straight indoor wooden flight where you want a roller in the box and can wipe the texture often.
Less suitable: A deep going, a household that hates trapped hair, or a deck you need proven in the rain.
Specifications
Common questions
Is a roller in the box?
Yes. The listing includes 16 strips and a roller.
How wide are the strips?
The listing states 4 inches by 32 inches, and also 10 cm by 81 cm.
Are they easy to clean?
The seller says wipe with a wet towel. One UK review says they trap dirt and hair and are hard to clean.
This BOMEI PACK roll is clear tape stated as 150 mm by 10 m, in PVC, at £22.66. That is 1.5 m², the largest area in the set, and the seller describes a fine texture, a waterproof adhesive, and use in rain and UV on stairs, ramps and boat decks. The amazon.co.uk listing we checked has no customer-review line and no review text, so none of those claims is checked by an amazon.co.uk buyer in this comparison. There is no star rating to quote. Scissors are the only tool the seller names. At a similar price to the reviewed 10 cm by 10 m PEVA roll, you are paying for width and seller copy rather than a record of how the film behaves on a UK stair.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A wide cut-to-length roll only if you accept an unreviewed listing and can test a scrap first.
Less suitable: Anyone choosing on review depth, or a household that wants the PEVA feel described on the reviewed packs.
Specifications
Common questions
How long is the roll?
10 metres, at 150 mm wide.
Are there amazon.co.uk reviews on the listing we checked?
No. The customer-review line is missing, so the rating is recorded as n/a.
What material does the seller name?
PVC, with a waterproof adhesive claim.
This BOMEI PACK roll is clear tape stated as 100 mm by 10 m, in PVC, at £19.66. The seller describes a fine texture, a waterproof adhesive, rain and UV resistance, and cutting to any length for outdoor stairs. The amazon.co.uk listing we checked has no customer-review line, no review text and no best-seller rank, so those claims are unchecked here. The colour field is also empty. Next to the 150 mm BOMEI roll it is £3 cheaper and 50 mm narrower, and it still has no amazon.co.uk rating to set against the OQingluan roll at £18.99, which has 4.6 from 755 reviews. Treat the page as a specification list until buyers write about peel, dirt and wet steps.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A 100 mm cut-to-length experiment, if you already accept buying without reviews.
Less suitable: A stair you want chosen on UK review notes, or a like-for-like swap with the reviewed PEVA roll.
Specifications
Common questions
How wide is this roll compared with the other BOMEI roll?
This roll is 100 mm wide. The other BOMEI PVC roll is 150 mm wide. Both are 10 m.
What is the price?
£19.66 on the amazon.co.uk listing checked for this comparison.
Is there a star rating?
Not on the listing we checked. It is recorded as n/a.
Scores use the amazon.co.uk listings already in this comparison. There is no lab pendulum test, and no pack here publishes a PTV. The highest score is the top pick. The strongest price against a deep review base is the best value. The weights below sum to 100. Deductions apply for a missing review line, a handful of reviews, a size field that conflicts with the title, review text shared with another listing, dirt or no-grip notes, and outdoor claims with no weather check.

Useful width and area
25%A pre-cut pack around 100–150 mm, or a roll that covers a going, scores above a 50 mm strip. Compare square metres, not the sticker price alone.
Texture

Price against evidence
15%Shelf price is read against review depth and stated area. About £18.99 with 755 reviews beats a lower sticker on 0.25 m² or an unreviewed roll at a similar price.
A clear stair tread is a transparent film you stick to the going so socks, paws or shoes meet a texture instead of bare varnish. It is a household grip strip, not a tested nosing. Start with the shape of the flight, then the width, then whether the reviews for that listing describe a soft surface or grit. Price comes after the review count and the square metres. If the stair is a workplace route, or the nosing already fails, this page is the wrong tool.
Clear stair treads on amazon.co.uk are transparent self-adhesive strips and rolls. They add grip on a going while the wood, tile or paint stays visible. Buyers in this set mostly fit them to varnished indoor stairs for dogs, older relatives and socks. A soft PEVA surface is the household choice. Diamond grit, or a coarse sandpaper feel, is harsher barefoot and can show dirt.
The BIGTEETH roll is 50 mm by 5 m, which is only 0.25 m². A full flight needs several rolls, and several reviews describe coarse grit rather than the soft surface in the bullets. Compare area and texture before the sticker.
Sound, clean varnish or tile is the DIY job. Flaking paint, dusty concrete and a polished film are where strips lift or pull the finish off. One US review of the LLPT roll said it pulled paint off trim.
OQingluan reviews say the roll holds on the flat of the stair and not on the curves. Expecting an invisible strip on dark wood also fails: BOMEI reviews say the film shows more than some buyers expected.
The first split is pre-cut or roll, then how much of the going the piece covers. A straight wooden flight suits a pack around 100–150 mm wide. The Spurtar 15-pack is stated as 6 by 24 inches. The longer Spurtar pack is stated as 6 by 32 inches, for a going a shorter strip would leave bare. Peohud is 10 cm wide and includes a roller. A roll suits winders, ramps and bunk ladders, because you cut the length. OQingluan is 10 cm by 10 m. LLPT is 152 mm by 5 m.
Soft PEVA is the household texture. Diamond grit or a coarse sandpaper feel is harsher in socks and can show dirt. Read the reviews for that ASIN. BIGTEETH bullets say soft PEVA, while several US reviews describe coarse grit. LLPT is a clear diamond texture, and the seller says it may yellow or collect dirt. Peohud has a UK note that the strips trap dirt and hair, and another that they were not anti-slip at all. Spurtar reviews say you can feel the strips even when the timber still shows.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You want grip on indoor timber without a carpet runner. The Spurtar 15-pack, stated as 6 by 24 inches, has the deepest review line here, and UK notes mention dogs, socks and wood that still shows. It is not a slip certificate.
A 24 inch strip would leave too much of the tread bare. The Spurtar pack stated as 6 by 32 inches is 15.2 cm wide and 81.3 cm long. The review wording overlaps the shorter pack, so treat it as the same sample at £28.99.
A loft stair, a bunk ladder or a winder needs a roll, not a fixed rectangle. The OQingluan 10 cm by 10 m roll is about £18.99 with 4.6 from 755 reviews. One UK review says it does not stay on the curved parts of a stair.
The top pick is the Spurtar clear stair treads 6 x 24 in at about £22.99. It has the deepest review line in the set, 4.6 from 1,638 amazon.co.uk reviews, on 15 clear PEVA strips stated as 6 by 24 inches. The listing dimensions conflict with that bullet, and the review wording overlaps the longer Spurtar pack. The best value is the OQingluan 10 cm by 10 m roll at about £18.99, with 4.6 from 755 reviews. Curve lift is in those reviews. Neither result is a pendulum test.
OQingluan anti-slip tape 10 cm x 10 m
About £18.99 for a 10 cm by 10 m roll with 4.6 from 755 reviews, ahead of the narrow roll and the unreviewed PVC rolls.
