This stair runner has a latex, gel backing, which means that it is non-slip and will not move on hard floorings such as Wood, Vinyl or Ceramic tiles. The runner is anti-slip on the carpet, but the effectiveness depends on the thickness of the carpet it is sat on. The thicker the carpet, the less effective it will be.
