Mannington Mills Awarded Patent for SimpleStairs
SimpleStairs® is an exact match stair tread that features the same gloss, texture, and performance of the select Mannington LVT collections that they are designed to complement. “In addition to providing the same visual as the floor, SimpleStairs® provides the same scratch, wear, and fade resistance of our Realta® SPC and Glue Down collections. It’s also waterproof,” said David Sheehan, Mannington Vice President of Residential Hard Surface. The product provides retailers with an upgraded stair tread solution and a trade-up opportunity to provide a better looking, better performing and faster installation. “It’s an incremental profit generator for our retail partners,” added Sheehan.
Built on a concept originated by Bob Pitman, (retired) President of Burke Flooring, inventors credited with the patent are Mannington associates Keith Bodendorf, Project Engineer; Dennis Bradway,
Product and Standards Manager; and Joe Finlaw (retired), Installation Manager. “This patent is another example of our associates’ innovative spirit and dedication to customer satisfaction. SimpleStairs® provides an add-on opportunity for retail salespeople, as well as a design solution for consumers,” said Zack Zehner, President of Mannington Residential Business.
Mannington plans to extend SimpleStairs® to its award-winning ADURA® Selling Solution offering in 2023.
