Carpet Stair Runners are certainly making a comeback as they can add a different feature to stairs and hallways. We can make any carpet into a stair runner as we can finish edges with either whipping, fabric or even leather. This makes for a unique look to suit your stairs.

RUNNERS FOR STRIPED CARPETS

In the past few years Plain off white carpet has been used throughout houses including stairs, unfortunately light carpets do not last too long on stair cases. So striped carpets and stripes with lighter colours in have become popular as you can match texture and base colours with one of the colours which make up the striped carpets.

STAIR RUNNER, RODS & EDGING

Runners can be used in Hallways and Landings if required. They are usually made from the same carpet that has been chosen for the stairs, but bound around the edges then simply laid over the existing floor.

Stair runners are fixed with normal underlay and grippers and don't need rods to hold them in place, the rods are for decoration only. The size of the runners you choose, but we recommend 5"-6" gap between the edge of the carpet to the skirting board. This allows rods to be fitted comfortably and shows off either painted or stained floorboards. Where the stair turns (winders), we match the internal turn if in a stripe carpet the wider the stripe the more the pattern will run out (see portfolio), but in most cases you will not notice unless you look very closely. If there are winders we will need to cut the carpet to size on site then have the carpet edges bound. This will need 2 visits to complete the job. It is impossible to price per metre for this type of job so we give a total price for all the work.
