FAQs
What is the exact size of this stair runner?
The specific size of this 'Couture' stair runner is 66 cm in width and 510 cm in length.
Can I cut this runner to fit my stairs precisely?
Yes, the runner can be cut. However, for a clean finish and to prevent fraying, it is recommended to have the cut edges professionally bound or serged.
How do I clean a stain on this runner?
Blot spills immediately with a clean cloth. For stains, use a mild carpet cleaner and a damp cloth, working from the outside of the stain inward. Avoid soaking the material.
What material is the runner made from?
It is crafted from a premium blend of shrink polyester and polypropylene.
What is the backing of the runner made of?
The runner is supported by a durable woven hessian backing.
How thick is the runner?
The runner is approximately 0.43 inches thick.
Will the shimmering effect wear off?
The shimmering effect is part of the fibre construction. With regular, gentle care, it should maintain its appearance, though heavy wear in high-traffic areas may eventually affect the texture.
Troubleshooting
Runner not lying flat
Ensure the subfloor is clean and dry. Use carpet tape or adhesive strips along all edges and potentially in the center for wider runners, pressing firmly to secure.
Fraying edges after cutting
If cut, the edges may need to be professionally bound or serged to prevent fraying. Ensure any cuts are made with a sharp blade and treated immediately.
Stains are difficult to remove
Blot spills immediately. For persistent stains, use a cleaner specifically designed for polyester/polypropylene blends and test in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid overwetting.
Loss of sheen or texture
Avoid harsh chemicals or aggressive cleaning methods. Regular, gentle vacuuming is recommended. Over time, natural wear may occur in high-traffic areas.
