Laminate on stairs

[IJWS15]

I have looked and found some threads but none that answer the question

Daughter has cats and wants to replace her hall, stairs and landing carpet. Hall will be vinyl plank to match the lounge but the stair…. she has looked at oak overlays and they are out of budget but have found these which say you can use standard laminate

Cats are really noisy on laminate (the click click click from their claws) and you can have fun making them 'spin out' with careful use of a laser pointer.
No experience of laminate on stairs but very smooth, almost slippery tread surface doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

Not my choice, but I wouldn’t have cats!

Eh, cats don't make any noise on our wooden floors.

Completely agree about a laminate on the stairs though, not a good idea.

Rubber matting would be a non-slip stair covering.

Thinking about it yes you are right, my cat is silent on timber and laminate (except when she lands from a windowsill leap). Two of the cats I catsit occasionally give that click click noise on laminate.

They either need their claws trimming, or they need a scratching post (or both).

They've got a garden full of trees. Agreed it is unusual.

Not all cats are happy with a vertical scratching post - some prefer horizontal ones

There's a stack of 4 x 4 fenceposts that Bob certainly spends a lot of time molesting.
My cat prefers vertical furniture.....nice soft velour covering on timber.

After several months, a house move (ours not hers) and a number of other events it is done apart from a strip of sealant inside the front door. MDF screwed to risers to avoid removing the tread radius and laminate glued down with Screwfix best grab adhesive. Aluminium strips came from B&Q.

Main delay was moving 100 miles so it was a little harder getting over to work on it but about 5 days to do,

She is happy.
