Extended Product Information

FAQs

What material is the Avanti Stair Runner made from?

The runner is made from 100% Polyamide (polypropylene), which is known for its durability, stain resistance, and resistance to fading.

Is the runner safe for use on stairs?

Yes, it is designed for staircases and features a non-slip gel/latex backing to help keep it securely in place, reducing the risk of slips.

Can I use bleach to clean this runner?

Yes, the runner is fully bleach-cleanable, making it highly practical for removing stubborn stains in high-traffic areas.

How thick is the pile of this runner?

The runner has a pile thickness of 9mm, offering a comfortable and resilient surface underfoot.

What does 'Heavy Domestic' wear rating mean?

This rating indicates the runner is suitable for all domestic areas with normal to heavy foot traffic, such as hallways, stairs, and living areas.

Will this runner slip on my wooden or tile floor?

No, the latex/gel backing is specifically designed to provide a non-slip grip on hard flooring surfaces like wood, vinyl, and ceramic tiles.

Can I order a custom length for my staircase?

Yes, this product is professionally finished to the exact size you choose, allowing for custom lengths to perfectly fit your staircase or hallway.

Is the backing waterproof?

Yes, the gel/latex backing is 100% waterproof and rot-proof, ensuring it won't shrink or wrinkle when wet and will not degrade over time due to moisture.

Troubleshooting

Runner slips on hard flooring

Ensure the gel/latex backing is clean and in full contact with the floor. The floor itself should be clean and dry. If the runner is placed over a very thick carpet, its grip may be reduced.

Stains are difficult to remove

Blot spills immediately. For stubborn stains, use a diluted bleach solution or a specific carpet stain remover suitable for polypropylene. Always test in an inconspicuous area first and rinse thoroughly.

Runner appears flattened or creased

The loop pile is designed to be resilient. Ensure no heavy objects are continuously pressing on one area. Regular vacuuming helps maintain pile height. For creases, try unrolling the runner and allowing it to lie flat for a period, or gently steam clean (ensure dryness afterward).

Snagging of fibers

The Wilton-grade construction minimizes snagging. If a loop is pulled, try to tuck it back in or trim it carefully with sharp scissors close to the surface to prevent further pulling.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly durable and resistant to wear from heavy foot traffic.
  • Excellent stain resistance and easy to clean, including bleach-cleanable properties.
  • Non-slip backing provides safety and stability on various floor types.
  • Maintains its appearance over time due to resilient pile construction and material properties.
  • Low maintenance, with resistance to fading, static, and moths.

Cons

  • The texture is described as firm and offers limited plush comfort.
  • Effectiveness of the non-slip backing on very thick carpets may be reduced.
  • While durable, it is not marketed as a luxury item; focus is on practicality.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This runner is professionally finished to your chosen size. Ensure the area where the runner will be placed is clean and dry. For optimal performance on hard floors, the non-slip gel backing should make direct contact with the flooring surface. If installing on carpet, the effectiveness of the non-slip backing depends on the carpet's thickness.

Compatibility: The Avanti Stair Runner is compatible with most domestic flooring types, including wood, vinyl, ceramic tiles, and carpet. Its primary use is for stairs, hallways, kitchens, and caravans.

Care: To maintain the runner's appearance and performance:

  1. Spills: Blot spills immediately with a clean, absorbent cloth. For tougher stains, use a solution of mild detergent and water, or a bleach-based cleaner, as the material is fully bleach-cleanable. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
  2. General Cleaning: Regular vacuuming is recommended to remove dust and debris. Use a standard vacuum cleaner without a rotating brush head to avoid damaging the loop pile.
  3. Deep Cleaning: For deeper cleaning, a damp cloth or a carpet shampoo suitable for synthetic fibers can be used. Ensure the runner dries completely to prevent issues with the backing.
  4. Maneuvering: Due to its firm nature and backing, repositioning the runner should be done carefully to avoid snagging or stretching.
