Product Information

Full details

This stair runner is designed for homeowners seeking a durable, low-maintenance, and safe flooring solution for high-traffic staircases. Its key benefit is its hardwearing construction combined with anti-slip backing, offering reliable performance and stability. A potential caveat is that while it offers secure grip, professional fitting might still be considered for optimal long-term placement, especially on complex stair designs. The Cheops runner features a tight loop-pile construction made from 100% stain-resistant polyamide, a waterproof and rot-proof gel latex backing for secure grip, and a Heavy Domestic wear rating.

What is the pile height of the runner?

The runner has a pile height of approximately 5.4mm.

Will the color fade over time?

Troubleshooting

Runner appears to be moving despite gel backing

Ensure the stair surface is clean, dry, and smooth. If the issue persists, consider using a suitable carpet adhesive or professional fitting for added security.

Stubborn stains are visible

Blot the stain immediately. For dried stains, use a mild detergent solution with a damp cloth, working from the outside of the stain inwards. Rinse with clean water and blot dry thoroughly. Avoid over-wetting.

Fraying edges

This is uncommon with a professionally finished runner. If fraying occurs, it may indicate damage during installation or excessive friction. Contact the retailer or a professional fitter for advice.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This runner is designed for straightforward installation. The gel latex backing offers a secure grip on most stair surfaces, often allowing for direct fitting without the need for additional underlay or gripper rods. However, for optimal results and long-term security, professional fitting is recommended, especially on stairs with intricate designs or unusual angles. Ensure the stairs are clean and dry before installation.

Compatibility: The gel latex backing is compatible with most common flooring surfaces, including wood, laminate, and tiles. It is designed to adhere securely without causing damage to the underlying surface.

Care: Maintenance is simple. For everyday cleaning, vacuum regularly. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the fibers or backing. Due to its stain-resistant properties, most common household stains can be removed with minimal effort. Ensure the runner is kept dry to benefit from its waterproof qualities.
