Best Flooring on Stairs in 2.5 story Apartment Building
I have a 2.5 story apartment building in Minnesota. Working on renovating the units to higher end. Currently the two main stairwells are carpeted and the back stairwell is linoleum.
The building was built as two separate buildings over the years. As a result, 6 of the units will be gutted and wall have wall to wall LVP flooring. For the stairwell on that side I was thinking LVP for the stairs and risers with a metal grip strip. On the other side the renovation is less extensive and I am refinishing the original hardwood floors and installing tile in the kitchen/bath. Should I install the same type of flooring on the two stairwells associated with those units? I'm looking for durability, cost-effectiveness, and safety. Carpet doesn't seem like it would go with the overall plan. Tile seems unsafe. I am wondering if there are any other good options that I am overlooking?
Thanks for the help.
