The Story Behind Functional Stairs

Functional Stairs is a business-to-business stair-tread manufacturer in Livonia, Michigan. What sets us apart starts on our own shop floor: we developed a high-speed, proprietary automated system that turns any manufacturer’s vinyl flooring into a matching custom stair tread — including a patent-pending vinyl bending process that’s ours alone.

Our proprietary automated system means real advantages for your business:

  • Consistency — every tread matches, order after order.
  • Capacity — we scale with your volume instead of bottlenecking on hand labor.
  • Speed — automated production means faster, more predictable turnaround.
  • Reliability — your projects never hinge on one person’s skill or schedule.

We work only with the trade — flooring dealers, contractors, remodelers, and builders. Send us the vinyl flooring you already carry — any manufacturer — and we return finished, ready-to-install stair treads and risers matched to the floor, with pickup and delivery across Metro Detroit.
