I'm thinking about putting some treads or noses on the steps of my deck
to increase visibility and traction.

Do these cause noticible rot over time?

Should I caulk under or around them to seal out water?

What's the deck/steps material?

If it is wet all the time,it will still rot. I'd recommend changing out
the treads with wider ones with a bull nose and the anti-slip grooves
already in them.
