FAQs
Can I cut the stair rods to size?
Yes, the stair rods can be shortened to your specific needs using a metal hacksaw.
What is the diameter of the stair rods?
The stair rods have a diameter of 10mm.
Are the screws included suitable for all types of stairs?
General screws are included. However, depending on your staircase material (e.g., concrete, tile, or specific wood types), you may need to purchase alternative screws and fixings for a secure installation.
How do I clean the matt black finish?
Clean the rods by wiping them with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using any abrasive cleaning agents.
What is the purpose of the 24mm measurement when fitting?
The 24mm measurement is added to the stair runner's width to determine the correct total length for the rod, accounting for the space the brackets will occupy and ensuring the rod sits correctly over the runner.
Can these rods be used with any type of stair carpet?
These rods are designed for use with securely fitted stair runners. They help to hold the runner in place at the front of the step.
What is the difference between the 70cm and 89cm rods?
The difference is the length. The 70cm rods are suitable for narrower stair runners, while the 89cm rods are designed for wider runners. You should measure your runner to determine the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Rod does not fit runner width.
Measure the runner width and shorten the rod to the correct measurement (runner width + 24mm) using a metal hacksaw.
Brackets feel loose after installation.
Ensure you are using the correct type of screws and wall plugs for your staircase material. The included screws are general purpose and may not provide adequate grip on all surfaces.
Rod seems unstable or sags.
Check that both brackets are firmly attached and the rod is seated correctly within them. Ensure the rod is not too long for the runner and that the runner itself is securely fixed.
Matt black finish appears scratched.
Handle the rods carefully during installation. For cleaning, use only a soft, damp cloth to avoid abrasive damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Measure the width of your stair runner. Add 24mm to this measurement to determine the required rod length. If the 89cm rod is too long, use a metal hacksaw to carefully shorten it to the precise measurement.
- Position the first bracket on one side of the stair runner, ensuring it is level and secure.
- Slide the cut stair rod through the first bracket.
- Position the second bracket on the opposite side of the stair runner, ensuring the rod sits evenly.
- Secure both brackets to the staircase using screws. *Note: The included general screws may not be suitable for all staircase types (e.g., concrete, very hard wood). Consider using appropriate wall plugs or screws for your specific surface.*
Compatibility:
- Designed for use with securely fitted stair runners.

- Available in 70cm and 89cm lengths to accommodate various stair runner widths.
Care:
