Troubleshooting
Runner is not lying flat
Ensure the runner has been unrolled and allowed to settle for at least 24 hours. Check that the floor surface underneath is clean and dry. If necessary, use double-sided carpet tape at the edges for added stability.
Slipping on hard floors
Ensure the gel latex backing is clean and making full contact with the floor. For maximum security, consider using appropriate carpet grippers or double-sided tape designed for flooring.
Appears discolored or faded
This runner is fade resistant. If fading is observed, ensure it's not due to prolonged direct sunlight without protection, though its fade resistance is designed to mitigate this.
Noticeable wear after a short period
While designed for heavy domestic wear, excessive friction or dragging of heavy objects could accelerate wear. Ensure the runner is properly installed and vacuumed regularly to maintain the pile.
