FAQs

What is the main benefit of using underlay with this stair runner?

Underlay significantly enhances comfort, extends the runner's lifespan by reducing wear, prevents slipping, improves fit, and provides better insulation, especially on hard or older stairs.

Can I use this runner on any type of stairs?

Yes, it is compatible with most standard staircases, including wood, laminate, and painted surfaces. Proper installation with underlay is key.

How do I clean a spill on the runner?

Blot spills immediately with a clean cloth. For tougher stains, a mild carpet cleaner or a diluted bleach solution can be used, always testing in a hidden area first.

Is the cream color prone to showing dirt?

While cream can show marks, the stain-free guarantee and bleach cleanability are specifically designed to help manage dirt and spills effectively.

How much extra material should I account for when cutting?

We recommend factoring in an additional 10% to your measurements to account for waste during the cutting and fitting process.

What does 'Naturally Moth Resistant' mean for the runner?

The wool content in the blend has been treated to naturally resist moth infestation, helping to protect the runner from damage over time.

Can I order a custom size?

Yes, custom sizes and specific queries are welcome, suggesting you contact the manufacturer or retailer for bespoke options.

Troubleshooting

Runner feels hard or uncomfortable underfoot

This is likely due to the absence or inadequacy of underlay. Install a suitable stair carpet underlay beneath the runner.

Runner is slipping or feels insecure

Ensure the runner is properly secured with appropriate fixings. Check if underlay is being used, as it adds stability. Re-secure any loose edges.

Stains are not coming out with standard cleaning

Since the runner is bleach cleanable, try a diluted bleach solution, testing in an inconspicuous area first. For persistent stains, professional cleaning may be required.

Runner wears out quickly in certain areas

This can be exacerbated by lack of underlay or high foot traffic. Ensure underlay is used and consider rotating rugs or runners in very high-traffic zones if possible, though this is less applicable to fixed stair runners.

Visible wear marks or flattening

Regular vacuuming helps. The polypropylene blend is designed for resilience, but significant crushing may indicate the need for underlay to provide support from beneath.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances staircase aesthetics with an elegant cream color and Herringbone Sage trim.
  • Durable construction with a stain-free guarantee and bleach cleanability for easy maintenance.
  • Comfortable underfoot due to the wool blend, while polypropylene ensures resilience.
  • Naturally moth resistant, offering long-term protection.
  • Proudly made in England with a commitment to quality.

Cons

  • Underlay is not included and is strongly recommended for optimal performance and comfort.
  • The 7-meter length may require cutting and fitting, necessitating careful measurement and potential waste.
  • While bleach cleanable, extensive or harsh bleaching might still affect the material over time.
  • Requires professional fitting or DIY skill for best results and to minimize waste.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure Accurately: Measure your staircase and add at least 10% for trimming and waste. Factor in the number of steps to ensure the 7-meter length is sufficient.
  2. Use Underlay: *Strongly recommended*. A good quality stair carpet underlay will significantly improve comfort, reduce wear, prevent slipping, and enhance insulation. Fit the underlay first.
  3. Cut to Size: Carefully cut the runner to the required width and length for each flight of stairs using a sharp utility knife.
  4. Fit Securely: Attach the runner using appropriate stair carpet fixings, ensuring it is taut and securely fastened at the nosings and risers.

Compatibility:

The Belgravia Stair Runner is compatible with most standard staircase types, including wood, laminate, and painted surfaces. It performs best when installed over a solid subfloor with the recommended underlay.

Care:

  • General Cleaning: Vacuum regularly to remove dust and debris.
  • Spills: Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild carpet cleaner or a diluted bleach solution (test in an inconspicuous area first).
  • Deep Cleaning: For more thorough cleaning, use a bleach-cleanable carpet shampoo or consult a professional carpet cleaner.
