FAQs

What does 'reversible' mean for this stair runner?

Reversible means the runner has two finished sides, each with a different color or pattern. You can flip the runner over to use the alternate side, effectively giving you two runners in one and extending its lifespan.

Can I cut this runner to size myself?

No, this runner is professionally finished to your exact ordered size. It is not designed to be cut by the customer as it may cause significant fraying or unraveling of the weave.

Is this runner suitable for stairs with pets?

Yes, the durable flatweave construction made from 100% polypropylene is designed to be tough and resistant to snags, making it very pet-friendly.

How do I clean the stair runner?

Vacuum regularly. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, damp cloth. A mild soap solution can be used for tougher stains, followed by rinsing with a damp cloth.

What is the thickness of the runner?

The runner has a thickness of 2mm.

What does 'Heavy Domestic' wear rating mean?

A 'Heavy Domestic' rating indicates the runner is suitable for use in areas of the home that experience high foot traffic, such as busy hallways and staircases.

Can I use this runner outdoors?

Yes, the product description states it combines strength, durability, and ease of use, and is versatile for indoor/outdoor stair runners.

Troubleshooting

Runner does not lay flat

Ensure the subfloor is even. Check that the runner is securely attached with appropriate fixings (carpet tape, tacks, or gripper rods). Allow the runner to acclimatize to room temperature for 24 hours before final fixing if it has been rolled for a long time.

Stains are difficult to remove

Blot spills immediately. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution with a damp cloth. Always test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to dry thoroughly.

Fraying edges

This runner is professionally finished, so fraying should be minimal. If you notice any loose threads, carefully snip them with sharp scissors rather than pulling.

Runner feels thin underfoot

This is a flatweave runner with a 2mm thickness, designed for durability rather than plushness. For added comfort, consider using a thin underlay specifically designed for runners, ensuring it does not create a trip hazard.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers two distinct looks with its reversible design, extending its value.
  • Highly resistant to stains, fading, static, and moths for long-term appeal.
  • Extremely durable flatweave construction suitable for heavy domestic traffic.
  • Pet-friendly material and weave resist damage from pets.
  • Easy to maintain and clean due to its polypropylene material.
  • Professionally finished to exact dimensions for a perfect fit.

Cons

  • Requires accurate measurements for professional finishing, as it cannot be easily trimmed by the user.
  • As a flatweave, it may offer less cushioning compared to thicker pile carpets.
  • The design is fixed once ordered; changing the look requires flipping, not re-dyeing or altering.
  • While durable, any carpet can eventually show wear in extremely high-traffic areas.
  • Professional installation may be recommended for optimal fit and safety, adding to the overall cost.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This runner is professionally finished to your specified dimensions. Ensure accurate measurements of your staircase before ordering. Once received, the runner is typically secured to the stairs using carpet tape or gripper rods, depending on your preference and the stair nosing. If you wish to utilize the reversible feature, the runner will need to be detached (un-tacked/un-taped) and then re-attached on the reverse side.

Compatibility: Suitable for most standard indoor and outdoor staircases. It is designed for heavy domestic wear, making it ideal for residential properties. Ensure your stairs have a suitable surface for secure attachment.

Care: For general cleaning, vacuum regularly. For spills, blot the affected area immediately with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the polypropylene fibers. Due to its stain-resistant nature, most common household stains should lift easily. If using the reversible feature, ensure both sides are kept clean before flipping.
