FAQs

What is the thickness of the Empire Stair Runner?

The Empire Stair Runner is approximately 9mm thick, providing a soft and comfortable surface.

Is this carpet suitable for homes with pets?

Yes, the 100% stain-resistant polypropylene makes it very suitable for homes with pets, as spills and accidents are easier to clean.

Can I clean the runner with bleach?

Yes, the runner is fully bleach cleanable, allowing for effective removal of tough stains.

How is the runner supplied?

The runner is professionally finished to your chosen size, meaning it is cut and edged to your specific measurements.

What is the backing material?

The runner has a strong hessian backing, designed to prevent snagging and enhance durability.

Will the color fade over time?

No, this runner is resistant to fading, ensuring the color remains vibrant even with exposure to light.

What dimensions are available?

The runner is custom-sized to your requirements. Please refer to the product ordering information for available widths and maximum lengths.

Troubleshooting

Runner feels loose or is slipping

Ensure appropriate carpet grippers and adhesive are used during installation. Check that the runner is taut and securely fastened to each step.

Stains are difficult to remove

Use a bleach-cleanable solution as indicated. Blot the stain thoroughly, working from the outside in. Rinse the area with clean water and allow to dry completely.

Carpet appears flattened in high-traffic areas

Vacuum regularly to help restore pile. The resilient construction should help it recover over time, but heavy, continuous use can eventually cause some compaction.

Snagging on the carpet pile

Trim any snagged loops carefully with scissors, cutting only the snagged fiber and not into the backing. The secure weave minimizes this risk.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This runner is professionally finished to your specified size. It typically requires professional fitting or careful DIY installation, often involving carpet grippers and adhesive to secure it firmly to each step. Ensure measurements are accurate before ordering.

Compatibility: Suitable for most standard staircase types. The hessian backing generally works well with standard carpet installation methods.

Care: Regular vacuuming is recommended to remove surface dust and debris. For spills, blot immediately with a clean cloth.

Ensure the runner is fully dry after cleaning.
