I4F, a global leader in flooring technologies and patents, has entered into a new partnership with Dutch innovation company VICstairs to bring its revolutionary StepVue stair covering technology to the global market.

StepVue introduces a seamless, one-piece stair nose solution engineered for strength, water resistance, safety, and aesthetic design. With exclusive licensing rights, i4F will enable flooring manufacturers worldwide to integrate the technology across SPC, LVT, and WPC materials—offering professionals and DIY-enthusiasts alike a smarter, more beautiful way to renovate and enhance staircases.

“Our unique technology eliminates the need for ugly strips and aluminium edges, enabling beautiful yet easy staircase renovations and enhancements of new stairs," said Philus van Laarhoven, owner of VICstairs. "This advancement means that design can now be seamlessly integrated into staircases as well."

"This innovative technology not only enhances the visual appeal of living spaces but also maintains the durability and safety required for high-traffic stairs," said i4F CEO John Rietveldt.
