About The Product
In Stock Now: Tarkett Johnsonite Palous Falls Color Splash Stair Tread Hammered 48 inch stands out as a practical solution for stair safety and durability in commercial settings. This product delivers a reliable step surface in striking blue - a color that's attention-grabbing when you need it for code compliance or visibility but maintains a professional look in public environments. The 48-inch length and 12.25-inch width fit most typical staircases, providing coverage that's immediately useful in both new builds and replacement projects. You're getting genuine rubber here, not a plastic imitation, so each tread provides real shock absorption and foot-feel that makes a difference in high-traffic spaces. The hammered texture is functional, conferring increased slip resistance so footfalls land securely even when floors are damp or busy. Tackling a run of stairs with this tread means individual safety isn't just meeting expectations but prioritized at ground level.
The square profile gives the edge a clean, finished appearance that blends well with contemporary architectural lines or straightforward institutional aesthetics. There's none of the rounded edge you see in residential shapes, which means install lines remain flush, gaps are minimized, and cleaning becomes less of a chore over time. The color and finish are consistent throughout the material, so even after a year of heavy use, scratches or ordinary wear are less apparent. At 48 inches, installers have some play for trimming to fit exact stair widths without sacrificing performance - a detail that's relevant in renovation as much as new installations. The substantial width also makes these treads especially suitable in settings where wider staircases are standard, like schools, healthcare facilities, and public office buildings.
This stair tread is manufactured in the United States, bearing Tarkett Johnsonite's mark for quality assurance. Durability is more than a promise: it's demonstrated through a 5-year warranty that speaks directly to the realities of high-volume environments. If you manage a space where longevity and compliance are must-haves, this product lets you check both boxes without having to make style concessions. The blue tone isn't overbearing, so it can be paired with a wider floor palette or used as a subtle wayfinding aid where color contrast is needed. No adhesives or accessories are bundled, giving facilities managers or installation crews more control over project selections and better alignment with existing workflow or adhesive requirements.
The material choice matters - with genuine rubber, the resilience is noticeable underfoot, helping cut down on stair noise and adding a bit of comfort with each step. That hammered surface, meanwhile, holds up to repeated cleaning and continues to give solid performance even after hundreds of passes a day. From a maintenance perspective, the combination of material and color masks everyday dust and scuffs, keeping things looking presentable longer.
