FAQs
How many steps can one set cover?
A set of 13 rods is typically sufficient for a standard staircase with 13 steps.
Can I use these on outdoor stairs?
These rods are designed for indoor use. The polished chrome finish may tarnish or corrode if exposed to outdoor elements.
What tools do I need for installation?
You will need a measuring tape, a hacksaw or rod cutter for adjustments, a screwdriver or drill (with adjustable torque), and a pencil for marking. Ensure you use the lowest torque setting on power tools.
How do I clean the polished chrome finish?
Use a soft, damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.
What is the diameter of the rod?
The outer diameter of the rod is 10 millimeters.
Can the rods be bent to fit curved stairs?
No, these are rigid metal rods and cannot be bent. They are designed for straight staircase steps.
What is the warranty period?
Product warranty information is typically provided by the retailer. Please check your purchase details or contact AMSKA INTERNATIONAL customer support for specific warranty terms.
Troubleshooting
Rod is too long or too short
Measure carefully and re-cut the rod to the desired length using a hacksaw or rod cutter. Ensure the cut end is concealed within the end bracket.
Screws do not hold brackets securely
Ensure you are screwing into a solid surface. If mounting into softer wood or drywall, consider using appropriate wall anchors (not included).
Finials do not fit tightly
Ensure the rod is fully inserted into the finial. Some finials may have a set screw for tightening; check if applicable and secure it.
Polished chrome finish appears dull
Clean the rod with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner designed for chrome finishes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Determine the desired length for each rod, accounting for the width of your carpet runner and ensuring the rod will fit within the end brackets.
- If adjustment is needed, carefully cut the metal rod to the required length using a hacksaw or rod cutter. Ensure cuts are clean and smooth.
- Position the end brackets on the carpeted step at the desired locations.
- Insert the rod through the brackets.
- Attach the finials to the ends of the rod.
- Secure the brackets to the step using the provided screws. Important: If using an impact driver for installation, set the torque to the lowest/minimum setting to avoid damaging the mounting surface.
Compatibility:
These rods are designed for use with carpet runners on staircases. They are compatible with most standard carpet thicknesses and widths. The rods can be cut to fit narrower runners.
Care:
Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the polished chrome finish. Dry thoroughly after cleaning. Fingerprints can be wiped away with a microfiber cloth.
