Our summer cabin steps, built in 1954, were starting to erode, so they made the place look shabby. These tiles not only hide The Ugly (chipped cement), but reduce The Bad (unstable footing for the elderly) and enhance The Good (grippy surface even in the rain). Quick & Easy to assemble! Easy to modify around hand railing and to cut to match the width of the steps. We will be purchasing more for infront of our other doors as they are safer than the present outdoor mats and let rain water flow off the stoops.
