FAQs
What is the best way to clean this stair runner?
Vacuum regularly. For spills, blot immediately. The runner is stain-free and bleach-cleanable, so diluted bleach can be used for tough marks. Always test cleaning solutions on a small, hidden area first.
Do I really need underlay?
Yes, using underlay is strongly recommended. It significantly improves comfort, safety (by preventing slips), reduces wear and tear, and enhances the overall fit and appearance of the runner, especially on hard floors.
How much runner do I need for my stairs?
The 7-metre runner is suitable for approximately 14 average steps. It's advised to factor in an additional 10% to your measurements to account for waste during fitting.
Can I cut this runner to fit custom stair widths?
The runner is 50 cm wide. While it can be cut to length, it is designed as a runner of a specific width. Custom sizes or queries are welcome, suggesting you might need to contact the manufacturer for bespoke options if this width is unsuitable.
Is this runner suitable for high-traffic areas?
Yes, it is described as hardwearing and built to perform, making it suitable for areas with significant foot traffic.
What are the dimensions of this specific runner?
This specific runner is 50 cm in height (width) and 700 cm (7 metres) in length.
Can I get a sample of the runner before buying?
Yes, the product information strongly recommends purchasing samples first to ensure you are 100% confident with the product before making a full purchase.
Troubleshooting
Runner feels hard or slips easily.
This is likely due to the absence of underlay. We strongly recommend installing a suitable stair runner underlay to improve comfort, grip, and durability.
Stains are difficult to remove.
The runner features a stain-free guarantee and is bleach-cleanable. Try a diluted bleach solution for stubborn stains, testing in an inconspicuous area first. Blot spills immediately.
Runner appears creased or uneven after fitting.
Ensure the runner was laid out flat and allowed to relax before cutting and fitting. Ensure it is installed tautly and evenly, potentially using stronger securing methods or adjusting underlay placement.
Colour or texture not as expected.
It is recommended to purchase a sample before buying the full length to confirm satisfaction with the colour and texture.
