FAQs

Is this runner suitable for a 10-step staircase?

The runner is 480 cm long. You would need to measure your total staircase length to determine if this size is sufficient for your 10 steps, accounting for any overlap or finishing at the top and bottom.

How do I clean the Empire stair runner?

Vacuum regularly. For spills, blot immediately. Stains can typically be cleaned with a mild detergent and water solution or a bleach-based cleaner. Always test cleaning solutions in an inconspicuous area first.

What is the pile height of this runner?

The pile height is 9mm, providing a soft and cushioned feel underfoot.

Can this runner be used on outdoor stairs?

This runner is designed for indoor use. While it is stain and fade resistant, it is not intended for outdoor elements or extreme weather conditions.

What is the backing material?

The runner features a natural jute hessian backing, which provides a stable base and helps maintain the runner's shape.

Is the runner anti-static?

Yes, the runner is manufactured to be anti-static, which helps reduce static electricity build-up.

Does it come in other colors or sizes?

This specific product is the Empire stair runner in Light Brown, measuring 60 cm x 480 cm. Similar designs may be available in different colors or sizes from the same brand.

Troubleshooting

Runner does not lie flat

Ensure the runner has acclimatized to room temperature for at least 24 hours. Check that the stairs are level and clean. Use carpet grippers and adhesive tape to secure it firmly, pulling taut to eliminate creases.

Visible wear in high-traffic areas

Rotate or flip the runner if possible (though most stair runners are directional). Vacuum regularly to lift pile. Consider a rug protector spray for added durability in the most used sections.

Stains are difficult to remove

For stubborn stains, use a bleach-cleanable solution as per care instructions, testing first in an inconspicuous area. For severe stains, professional cleaning may be necessary.

Runner moves or slips

Ensure the correct type of carpet grippers and strong adhesive tape designed for carpets are used. Check that the backing of the runner is clean and dry, as dirt or moisture can affect adhesion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional comfort due to the plush 9mm pile.
  • High durability and shape retention thanks to Wilton-grade construction.
  • Easy maintenance with stain-resistance and bleach-cleanable properties.
  • Enhanced safety and longevity with anti-static and moth-proof features.
  • Aesthetically pleasing light brown color that complements many decors.

Cons

  • Specific size may require custom fitting for some staircases.
  • Requires a suitable underlay for optimal grip and cushioning (sold separately).
  • Polypropylene, while durable, may not offer the same luxurious feel as natural fibers for some users.
  • Heavy traffic areas might show wear faster than lighter-traffic zones over extended periods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Unroll the runner and allow it to acclimatize to room temperature for at least 24 hours before installation. Ensure the stairs are clean and dry. For optimal security and to prevent slipping, it is recommended to use carpet grippers and appropriate adhesive tape designed for stair runners. Secure the runner firmly, ensuring it lies flat without creases.

Compatibility: This runner is designed for standard staircases. Ensure your measurements are accurate for the specified 60 cm width and 480 cm length. It is compatible with most standard stair types but check precise fit before purchasing.

Care: For routine cleaning, vacuum regularly using a standard vacuum cleaner. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a solution of mild detergent and water or a bleach-based cleaner, testing in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh scrubbing. Professional cleaning is recommended for deep-seated stains.
