Product Information

Full details

The Malis Stair Runner in Beige is designed for homeowners seeking a durable, stylish, and low-maintenance solution for their stairs. Its primary benefit is exceptional resilience against wear and tear in high-traffic areas, thanks to its dense loop pile construction and stain-resistant polyamide material. A potential consideration is its specific backing, which grips securely but may not be suitable for all stair surfaces without additional considerations if a specific underlay is preferred.

FAQs

What is the thickness of the Malis stair runner?

The Malis stair runner has a thickness of 5.4mm.

Is the runner suitable for outdoor stairs?

While the runner is waterproof and rot-proof, it is designed for indoor use. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh weather may affect its appearance and longevity.

Can I install this runner myself?

Yes, the gel-latex backing provides a secure grip, often eliminating the need for underlay or gripper rods, making DIY installation feasible. Ensure stairs are clean and dry before placement.

How do I measure for a custom size?

Measure the length and width of each step precisely where the runner will be placed. It's recommended to add a small overlap if you intend to wrap the runner around the edge of the step.

What maintenance does the runner require?

Regular vacuuming and immediate spot cleaning of spills are recommended. Avoid beater bars on vacuums to prevent snagging the loop pile.

Is the beige color prone to showing dirt?

The 100% stain-resistant polyamide material is designed to resist stains and fading. The beige color is generally practical for hiding minor dust and wear, and spills can be easily cleaned.

What is the wear rating?

The Malis stair runner has a Heavy Domestic wear rating, indicating its suitability for high-traffic areas within a home.

Troubleshooting

Runner is not lying flat

Ensure the stair surface is clean and dry. Allow the runner to relax for 24 hours after unrolling. Check that the gel-latex backing is making full contact with the stairs. If needed, use carpet tape for extra adhesion.

Stains are difficult to remove

Blot spills immediately. For stubborn stains, use a specific carpet stain remover suitable for polyamide. Test any cleaner in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing.

Runner appears to be shifting

Clean the stair surface and the runner's backing to ensure optimal grip. For added security, consider using approved double-sided carpet tape or stair runner clips.

Fraying at edges

This is uncommon with professionally finished edges. If fraying occurs, contact customer support. Avoid cutting the runner yourself unless using a professional service, as this can cause further fraying.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly resistant to crushing and flattening due to its loop pile design.
  • Excellent stain resistance for easy cleaning and maintenance.
  • Secure, non-slip backing that adheres well to most surfaces.
  • Durable construction suitable for high-traffic areas.
  • Resistant to fading, static, and moths for extended aesthetic appeal.

Cons

  • The gel-latex backing may not be ideal for certain delicate stair finishes without testing.
  • Custom sizing means a longer lead time compared to off-the-shelf options.
  • Loop pile can sometimes snag on very sharp objects, though polyamide is generally resilient.
  • Requires professional finishing for custom sizes, adding to the overall cost if not DIY.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure Your Stairs: Ensure accurate measurements for your custom-sized runner.
  2. Clean Stair Surface: Before installation, ensure your stairs are clean, dry, and free from dust or debris.
  3. Position Runner: Carefully unroll and position the runner on your stairs, ensuring it lies flat.
  4. Secure (Optional): While the gel-latex backing offers excellent grip, for added security or on very steep stairs, consider using double-sided carpet tape specifically designed for stair runners.

Compatibility:

The runner is compatible with most standard stair surfaces. The gel-latex backing is designed to grip securely on wood, laminate, tile, and painted stairs. It can be fitted with or without traditional underlay or gripper rods, offering flexibility.

Care:

  • Spot Cleaning: For spills and stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent and a damp cloth, working from the outside of the stain inwards.
  • Vacuuming: Regularly vacuum the runner to remove surface dust and debris. Use a standard vacuum cleaner; avoid using a beater bar on loop pile carpets as it can snag the fibers.
  • Deep Cleaning: For a more thorough clean, use a carpet cleaning solution suitable for polyamide carpets and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
  • Drying: Allow the runner to air dry completely after cleaning. Ensure good ventilation.
