Product Information

Full details

This durable, anti-slip stair runner is ideal for busy households seeking a low-maintenance flooring solution. It offers reliable everyday performance due to its hardwearing polyamide construction and tight loop-pile, designed to resist flattening. However, its firm texture provides little in the way of plush comfort, and the loop pile may snag with pet claws.

FAQs

Is this runner suitable for pets?

While the loop pile is durable, pet claws can potentially snag and pull the loops. If you have pets that tend to scratch or play on the stairs, a cut or twist pile carpet might be a more suitable alternative. For calmer pets, this runner may still work with regular nail maintenance.

Can I fit this runner myself?

Yes, the anti-slip gel latex backing is designed for flexible installation. Many users fit it themselves using adhesive, staples, or stair rods. Professional installation is also an option if preferred.

What makes the backing anti-slip?

The backing is made of a gel latex compound that creates friction and adheres to most floor surfaces, preventing the runner from shifting or sliding.

How do I clean spills?

Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent diluted with water and a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the carpet and do not use harsh chemicals.

Will the color fade in sunlight?

No, the polyamide fiber is fade resistant, meaning it is designed to withstand UV sunlight without significant color loss.

Is underlay necessary?

No, underlay and gripper rods are not a necessity due to the effective anti-slip gel latex backing. However, they can still be used if you prefer additional cushioning or an extra layer of security.

What does 'Heavy Domestic' wear rating mean?

This rating indicates that the carpet is suitable for high-traffic areas within a domestic setting, such as hallways, stairs, and living rooms, ensuring it can withstand frequent use.

Troubleshooting

Runner is not lying flat

Ensure the surface underneath is clean and smooth. If recently unrolled, allow the runner to acclimatize to room temperature for a few hours. The gel backing should help it settle. If necessary, secure edges with appropriate adhesive or stair rods.

Visible snagging or pulled threads

This can occur if a loop in the pile is caught. Carefully trim the snagged loop with sharp scissors, cutting only the single loop and avoiding cutting into the backing or adjacent loops. Prevent future snags by trimming pet nails or avoiding high-impact activities on the runner.

Stains are difficult to remove

For stubborn stains, try a specialized carpet stain remover suitable for polyamide carpets. Always test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area first. Blot, do not rub, and rinse thoroughly with a damp cloth.

Slipping despite anti-slip backing

Ensure the floor surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or polish. For extra security on very smooth surfaces, consider using double-sided carpet tape or a thin layer of appropriate adhesive along the edges.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This runner is professionally finished to your specified size. The gel latex backing provides a secure, non-slip grip on most surfaces, allowing for flexible installation. You can fix it to your stairs using adhesive, staples, or stair rods. For a simpler installation, it can often be fitted without traditional underlay or gripper rods, directly onto the stairs.

Compatibility:

Compatible with most standard stair constructions. The anti-slip backing is designed to adhere to various flooring materials commonly found on stairs, such as wood, laminate, or painted surfaces. It can be used with or without underlay and gripper rods.

Care:

To maintain its appearance and performance:

Vacuum regularly: Use a standard vacuum cleaner without a rotating brush head to prevent snagging the loop pile.
Spot clean spills immediately: For fresh spills, blot the area with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent diluted with water and a damp cloth. Blot from the outside of the stain inwards. Avoid soaking the carpet.
Avoid harsh chemicals: Do not use bleach or abrasive cleaning products.
Pet considerations: While stain-resistant, be mindful that pet claws can potentially snag the loop pile. Regular nail trimming for pets may help mitigate this.
