This stair carpet runner is made using a needlepunch technique, which involves short staple fibres being stuck together and punched with a barbed needle. Typically used in offices, schools, and airports, this carpet is highly durable and resistant to pulling, snagging, treading down, or flattening. The pile is extremely durable and will not flatten. Its construction makes it great for pets and virtually indestructible, classified as a heavy domestic product suitable for high-traffic areas like staircases. The runner features a latex, gel backing, making it non-slip on hard flooring such as wood, vinyl, or ceramic tiles. While it is anti-slip on carpet, its effectiveness depends on the carpet's thickness. The backing is also 100% waterproof and rot-proof, preventing shrinkage or wrinkling when wet. With a fairly coarse texture and firm feel, this product prioritizes durability, practicality, and low maintenance over luxury. It is made from 100% Polypropylene, a man-made fibre with excellent properties. This carpet is bleach-proof, stain-resistant, fade-resistant from UV sunlight, anti-static, and moth-proof. It has a low radius of ignition and has passed hot nut testing to comply with British standards (BS 4790).
