Most Popular Tarkett Johnsonite Color Splash Raised Round Stair Tread Blue provides a 48 inch by 12.25 inch solution for facilities seeking dependable, long-term stair safety. If ADA compliance and a strong visual presence matter in your building, there's no comparison-the Cape Hatteras blue lives up to the standard, running edge to edge for a footprint that immediately stands out on public and commercial stairways. This tread is built with a focus on consistent grip thanks to its raised round finish-a full 48-inch of industrial-grade rubber with a precise pattern that won't lose its edge even in the busiest environment. Because it covers 12.25 inches in width, you're not skimping on tread depth, which means better surface coverage and safety across schools, healthcare corridors, and the kind of high-traffic zones that punish basic vinyl or painted alternatives.
The square profile is cut clean for a polished line against your stair risers-no awkward overlaps or add-ons. It's ready out of the box for butt-joint installation, which helps streamline setup and maintain a uniform look all the way up your flight. While you get that crisp, modern blue for easy wayfinding, there's also a lot happening underfoot. Rubber gives you a firmer, quieter step-noticeable right away in noise-sensitive spaces-and holds color and structure where cheaper flooring can streak, chip, or show every scuff. Over time, maintenance costs tend to drop, as you're not repainting or patching as often, which budgets will appreciate.
Cleaning is easy because the intentionally engineered surface resists dirt and stains, with the raised round dots keeping shoe contact just where it's supposed to be. The pattern isn't just for show; it aligns with ADA guidance, prioritizing reliable traction-no slip tape or bulky overlays required. At 48 inches, each tread fits a standard stair or can be neatly trimmed on-site. If you've worked with treads that fold or warp when cut, you'll notice these keep their integrity, as long as you handle the job with the right tools.
One detail not to overlook: these are Made in the United States, which pays off long-term if you're overseeing larger jobs or phased remodel projects, as each batch remains predictably consistent in color and texture. This model is supported by a 5-year warranty. When you stack up savings over the product's lifecycle-less time maintaining, fewer replacements-it often pencils out as the smart call. Adhesives aren't included, but the tailored square edge works across a range of commercial-grade installation glues, so you can fine-tune for permanent or changeable needs.
The Cape Hatteras color is part of the Color Splash lineup and works with both modern renovations and existing floor designs where durability and color accuracy are essential. For product specifics or to get direct purchasing information visit the manufacturer's official listing.
