FAQs

How do I measure my stairs for a custom-sized runner?

Measure the length of each step from the very edge of the nosing to the back where it meets the riser. Measure the width of the staircase where the runner will be laid. Provide these precise measurements when ordering to ensure a perfect fit.

Is the 'Hazy' black color suitable for pets?

Yes, the stain-resistant polypropylene is ideal for homes with pets. While the black color might show lint, it's very easy to clean up.

Can I install this runner myself?

Yes, the runner comes professionally finished and can be installed by a DIY enthusiast. Securing it properly with carpet grippers and ensuring it's taut is key to a safe and professional finish.

What is Wilton-grade construction?

Wilton-grade construction refers to a weaving method where the pile yarn is woven into the backing at the same time. This creates a dense, durable, and stable carpet structure, less prone to snagging and wear.

How often should I vacuum the runner?

Regular vacuuming, ideally once or twice a week, is recommended to keep the pile clean and free from dirt and debris. Use a vacuum cleaner without a rotating brush bar to avoid damaging the fibers.

What is the benefit of the jute hessian backing?

The jute hessian backing provides a strong and stable foundation for the carpet pile. It helps the runner maintain its shape, prevents stretching, and offers good resilience underfoot.

Can this runner be used on a spiral staircase?

While designed for standard staircases, custom sizing might allow for use on some spiral staircases. However, the flexibility and fitting would need careful consideration during installation.

Troubleshooting

Runner has creases or is not lying flat

Allow the runner to acclimatize to room temperature for 24-48 hours. Ensure the subfloor is level and dry. Use carpet grippers and ensure it's pulled taut during installation.

Stains are difficult to remove

Ensure you are using a bleach-based cleaner suitable for polypropylene and follow the product instructions. For stubborn stains, repeat the cleaning process or consult a professional carpet cleaner.

Snagging observed

As the runner is Wilton-grade, snagging should be minimal. If a fiber is pulled, cut it flush with the pile using sharp scissors rather than pulling it further.

Runner appears faded

The material is designed to be fade-resistant. If fading is observed, ensure it is not due to harsh chemical cleaners used incorrectly. Professional cleaning may help restore color vibrancy.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly durable and resistant to wear and tear.
  • Comfortable underfoot due to the 9mm pile.
  • Easy to clean and maintain, including bleach cleanability for tough stains.
  • Resistant to common issues like fading, static, and moths.
  • Securely constructed to prevent snagging and maintain shape.
  • Offers a custom fit for a professional and tailored appearance.

Cons

  • Requires precise measurements before ordering, as it's finished to size.
  • The 'Hazy' black design may show dust or lint more readily than lighter colors.
  • While stain-resistant, significant or immediate cleaning is still recommended for best results.
  • Jute backing may be sensitive to prolonged excessive moisture.
  • The 9mm pile, while comfortable, might be less suitable for very high-traffic areas prone to heavy soiling if not maintained.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This stair runner is professionally finished to your exact chosen size, meaning it is ready to be installed. It is recommended to use appropriate carpet grippers and fixings suitable for stair runners to ensure a secure and safe fit. Ensure the stairs are clean and dry before installation.

Compatibility:

Suitable for most standard staircases. The 'Hazy' design in black complements a wide range of interior décor styles. The material is safe for use with underfloor heating systems if applicable, provided appropriate installation methods are followed.

Care:

  • Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum regularly without the brush bar engaged to maintain the pile's appearance and remove surface dirt.
  • Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a solution of mild detergent and water or a bleach-based cleaner suitable for polypropylene. Always test cleaning solutions in an inconspicuous area first.
  • Deep Cleaning: If necessary, professional cleaning is recommended. Avoid saturating the jute backing with excessive water.
  • Maintenance: Check fixings periodically to ensure the runner remains secure.
