FAQs
What does 'Flatweave' mean?
Flatweave refers to a type of carpet construction where the pile is not cut, resulting in a flat, smooth surface. This makes it durable, easy to clean, and less prone to crushing.
Why is underlay so important for stair runners?
Underlay is crucial for comfort, noise reduction, preventing premature wear, improving grip, and ensuring a better fit, especially on hard or older stairs. Without it, stair runners can feel hard, wear out faster, and be less safe.
How do I measure my stairs for the runner?
Measure the length of each step from the edge of one riser to the edge of the next, and sum these lengths. Add approximately 10% to your total measurement to account for trimming and waste during installation.
Can this runner be used on any type of stairs?
Yes, this runner is compatible with most standard staircases, including wooden, carpeted, and hard surfaces. The effectiveness and comfort are significantly enhanced when used with appropriate underlay.
What does the 'Stain Free Guarantee' cover?
The guarantee typically covers most common household stains, meaning they can be removed according to the care instructions without permanently damaging the runner's appearance. It is advisable to check the specific terms of the guarantee.
Is the beige color consistent across different batches?
While efforts are made to ensure color consistency, it's always recommended to purchase samples first, especially if ordering at different times, to ensure you are 100% confident in the shade.
How do I clean bleach-cleanable stains?
For bleach-cleanable stains, you can use a diluted bleach solution. Always test on an inconspicuous area first, then apply cautiously, rinse thoroughly with clean water, and allow to dry completely.
Troubleshooting
Runner appears to be slipping or moving.
Ensure underlay is used and is suitable for the subfloor. Check that the runner is adequately secured to the underlay and stairs.
Stains are difficult to remove.
Blot spills immediately. Use a mild detergent and water solution. For persistent stains, cautiously use a diluted bleach solution, testing in an inconspicuous area first, followed by thorough rinsing.
Runner feels hard or uncomfortable underfoot.
This is often due to the absence or inadequacy of underlay. Use a high-quality stair runner underlay for improved comfort and noise reduction.
Edges are fraying after cutting.
Ensure a very sharp blade was used for cutting. Consider professional finishing for edges if fraying persists.
