Do the steps get slippery?

These steps are wonderful with hidden storage compartment. We live in the rainy state where the steps are always wet and they never get slippery. Best steps we ever purchased!

Not in the summer. If you get water on them in the winter, and it freezes, then they can get a little icey. Once you step out of the hot tub onto the stairs though, the hot water plus yor body weight usually breaks up he ice almost instantly. So no, they don't really get slippery unless you have very thick ice on them.

No they do not get slippery because they have some texture. They were a very good investment and I would purchase them again.

I always lay a towel on the top step just to catch the dripping water because of the grandkids, so I haven't noticed slippery steps at all. I'm not sure how they would be if I did not have the towel down on the top step, but we have never slipped on ours. It does have a grain texture.

Our steps ere outside our travel trailer during a couple of storms, not once did they feel slippery. The top surfaces are textured and have lots of dimples. Extra protection could be had by adding non skid strips (self-adhesive),available at Amazon or any local hardware store

Not that we have experienced and the hot tub gets used several times a week.

I haven't noticed them being slippery, the probably do some but I have been very happy with them for the price.

Yes they get slippery. They are textured pretty good but its still plastic and it gets tough when your hands get sweaty. And I use these outdoors in phoenix in the dead heat of summer. I like to think it makes the workout harder tho.

I would say yes. The problem I had is not the sturdiness of the steps, it was the dogs were afraid to use it. Not sure why - its not slippery. Good luck!

My experience is that it is very slippery before going outside just after application but coming inside after a walk is not a problem.

I put the edges of the rungs at my heels which aids in balance and the remainder of my foot is on the rung. I have not experienced a problem with this. I can say that this is the most stable step ladder I have ever been on, period. Hope this helps!

No but we haven't had any problems with our slipping on our tile. We use it for the sink in the bathroom.

It's definitely more up and down than side to side. There are little bumps on the steps so I've never felt like I've been sliding, even though the steps do slightly go to the side when you're on the downstep. i think it feels more natura to have the slight side movement rather than strict, straight up and down.

It has a semi textured surface so it alone will not be slippery. The biggest cause of slipping will be grip strength or lack of and stability strength/ fatigue.

I wish I had a good answer but I haven't been able to get my Morkie and Yorkie to use the ramp. (My fault for not taking time to train teach them how!) It does have a low pile carpet surface and I don't think it will be slippery.

It might. As you can see on the picture the base is hard plastic so there is a small chance that it will slip. I can't say for sure because I used it on carpet.Personally I don't think it will slip on hardwood floor because the steps have some weight to itVbut as I said I can't say for sure.Hope this helps.

No they do not. I ordered them and had to return. Instead of these, I used grip tape found at a hardware store. Tape designed for slick steps. Hope this helps.

It is not slippery on my tile floors. Having said that I am not sure it would be appropriate for outdoor granite steps if they are subject to the weather. With all the pollution in the rain now it might cause wear on the polish. This might be a question for the manufacturer.

I would say yes, provided the steps are not too steep for you or too long for the ramp to span.

Hi DorisI haven't tried using it on steps yet. I'll get back to you on that.

I don't find that they are slippery. They are thick and heavy weight. I use them at the entrace/exit of my walk in shower so suck up any extra moisture on the floor. I would think that any rug or mat of the floor can potentially become a trip hazard but which is worse slippery wet floor or potential trip hazard in a bath mat. We love the 2 bath mats we have.

The incline might be a bit steep depending on the height of the steps. The longer the ramp however would decrease the incline.
