FAQs

What is the thickness of this stair runner?

The thickness of this stair runner is approximately 7mm.

Is the backing suitable for all types of stairs?

Yes, the gel-latex backing is designed to provide a non-slip grip on most surfaces, including wood, laminate, and carpeted stairs, often negating the need for separate gripper rods.

Can this runner be used with underfloor heating?

The product information does not specify compatibility with underfloor heating. It's recommended to check with the manufacturer or a professional installer for compatibility.

How do I clean spills like red wine or pet accidents?

Blot the spill immediately with a clean cloth. For stubborn stains, use a damp cloth with a mild detergent. The polypropylene material is stain-resistant and bleach-proof, but always test cleaning solutions in a hidden area first.

Does this runner flatten over time?

No, the flatweave construction means there is no pile to flatten. It is designed for exceptional durability and to maintain its shape and appearance even in high-traffic areas.

Can I order a specific length for my stairs?

Yes, this product is professionally finished to your chosen size, meaning you can order it to precisely fit your staircase dimensions.

Is this runner noisy when walked on?

The flatweave construction and firm texture may result in a firmer feel underfoot and potentially slightly more sound than a plush carpet. However, the secure backing helps minimize excessive movement noise.

Troubleshooting

Runner is not staying in place.

Ensure the stairs are clean and dry before installation. If not already using them, consider using adhesive, staples, or stair rods for a more secure fixing. Check that the gel-latex backing is free from dust or debris that might impair its grip.

Stubborn stain on the runner.

Blot excess liquid immediately. For persistent stains, use a mild detergent solution on a damp cloth. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first. Bleach can be used cautiously for tough stains, but always dilute and test.

Runner appears to be fraying at the edges.

This product is professionally finished to size. If fraying occurs, it may indicate damage from excessive force or improper installation. Ensure the edges are properly secured and not subjected to constant abrasion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This stair runner is designed for straightforward installation. The integrated gel-latex backing provides a secure non-slip grip on most surfaces, allowing it to be fixed directly to the stairs. While underlay and gripper are not strictly necessary, they can still be used for added cushioning if desired. For a secure fit, you can use adhesive, staples, or stair rods. B&Q recommends using stair rods not only for aesthetic appeal but also to help keep the runner firmly in place and prevent movement.

Compatibility:

The runner is compatible with most standard staircases. The non-slip backing adheres well to various flooring types. It is suitable for use with or without traditional stair grippers and underlay.

Care:

Maintaining the Patch Stair Runner is simple due to its material properties:

  • Cleaning Spills: Blot up liquid spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Due to its stain-resistant nature, most common household spills can be cleaned easily.
  • General Cleaning: Regular vacuuming with a standard vacuum cleaner is recommended to remove dust and debris.
  • Bleach Proof: Minor bleaching can be used for stubborn stains; however, always test in an inconspicuous area first.
  • Rot Proof: The waterproof backing prevents moisture damage and rot, making it ideal for areas prone to dampness or spills.
