FAQs

What material is the runrug Cheops stair runner made from?

The runner is made from 100% stain-resistant polyamide, known for its durability and resilience.

Is the backing non-slip?

Yes, it features a waterproof, rot-proof gel latex backing designed to provide a secure grip on most surfaces.

Can I cut the runner to fit my stairs precisely?

Yes, the runner is professionally finished to your chosen size and can be carefully trimmed to fit specific stair dimensions.

How do I clean this stair runner?

Regular vacuuming is recommended. For spills, blot immediately with a clean cloth. It is stain-resistant and waterproof, making general cleaning easy.

Is this runner suitable for high-traffic areas?

Absolutely. It has a Heavy Domestic wear rating and a resilient loop-pile construction designed to withstand significant foot traffic without flattening.

Do I need to use underlay or gripper rods?

The gel latex backing offers secure grip, often making additional underlay or gripper rods unnecessary, simplifying installation.

What are the benefits of the loop-pile construction?

The tight, spring-like loop weave helps the runner resist flattening, crushing, and everyday wear, maintaining its appearance and shape over time.

Troubleshooting

Runner is not lying flat

Ensure the subfloor is clean and dry. If the runner has been rolled for a long time, allow it to relax in a warm room for 24 hours before fitting. Check that the backing is making full contact with the stairs.

Slipping on the stairs

While the gel latex backing provides grip, ensure the stairs are free of dust or moisture. If slipping persists on very smooth surfaces, consider using carpet tape specifically designed for stair runners.

Minor spills have stained the runner

Blot the spill immediately with a clean, absorbent cloth. For dried stains, use a mild detergent mixed with water and gently dab the affected area. Always test cleaning solutions in an inconspicuous spot first.

Fraying at the edges

This runner is professionally finished. If fraying occurs, it may indicate damage from a sharp object. Carefully trim any loose threads with sharp scissors. Avoid pulling at frayed areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Cheops stair runner is designed for flexible installation. The integrated gel latex backing provides a secure grip on most stair surfaces, often negating the need for additional underlay or gripper rods. For a secure fit, ensure the stairs are clean and dry before placement. It can be cut to size for a custom fit.

Compatibility: This runner is compatible with most standard staircase surfaces, including wood, laminate, and carpeted stairs (though its anti-slip properties are most effective on hard surfaces).

Care: Maintenance is straightforward due to its stain-resistant and waterproof nature. Regular vacuuming will keep it free of dust and debris. For spills, blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth or a slightly damp sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the fibers or backing.
