FAQs

What is the material of the Icona stair runner?

The runner is made from 100% stain-resistant polyamide with a loop pile construction.

Does this runner require an underlay?

No, the runner features a waterproof, rot-proof gel-latex backing designed to grip securely to most stair surfaces, often eliminating the need for underlay or gripper rods.

How do I clean this stair runner?

Regular vacuuming is recommended. For spills, blot immediately. Spot clean with a mild detergent and water solution using a damp cloth. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.

Is this runner suitable for homes with pets?

Yes, the stain-resistant polyamide and durable loop pile construction make it suitable for homes with pets. It is also resistant to moths.

Can I cut this runner to a custom size?

The runner is professionally finished to your chosen size. It is not recommended for users to cut it further as this may compromise the edges and backing.

What are the dimensions of this specific product?

This specific product variant is 80 cm in width and 480 cm in length.

Is the backing slippery?

No, the gel-latex backing is designed to provide a secure, non-slip grip on most stair surfaces to enhance safety.

Troubleshooting

Runner edges are lifting

Ensure the stair surface is clean and dry. Check that the gel-latex backing is making full contact. If necessary, consider using a double-sided carpet tape or consulting a professional for securing the edges.

Stains are difficult to remove

Blot spills immediately. For set-in stains, use a mild detergent solution. Avoid harsh chemicals. If a stain persists, consider professional carpet cleaning for runner materials.

Runner appears flattened in high-traffic areas

While designed to resist flattening, exceptionally heavy use might cause minor compression. Regular vacuuming and occasional professional cleaning can help restore its appearance. Ensure the vacuum brush bar is not too aggressive.

Gel-latex backing seems less effective over time

Ensure the backing and stair surface are free from dust and debris. Avoid using excessive water during cleaning, as moisture can affect the adhesive properties of the backing over prolonged periods. If grip is significantly reduced, professional re-securing might be necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional durability and resistance to wear and tear.
  • Stain-resistant material makes cleaning simple.
  • Secure non-slip backing reduces the risk of accidents.
  • Maintains its appearance in high-traffic areas.
  • Rot-proof and waterproof backing adds to its longevity.

Cons

  • Loop pile may snag on sharp objects if not careful.
  • Specific cleaning instructions should be followed to preserve material integrity.
  • While it offers good grip, some users may prefer traditional underlay for added cushioning.
  • Requires precise measurement for custom fitting to ensure optimal performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This runner is professionally finished to your chosen size. Ensure your stairs are clean and dry before installation. The gel-latex backing provides inherent grip, and for many installations, no additional underlay or gripper rods are needed. Position the runner carefully on the stairs, ensuring it lies flat. For a more permanent or secure fit, especially on very steep or heavily used stairs, consider professional fitting or securing with appropriate stair clips or adhesive tape if recommended by a professional installer.

Compatibility: The gel-latex backing is designed to grip securely to most common stair surfaces, including wood, laminate, and painted stairs. It is generally compatible with most household stair types. Avoid using on very old or uneven surfaces where grip might be compromised.

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

  1. Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum regularly using a standard vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris. Avoid using vacuum cleaners with a rotating brush bar on the highest setting, as this may snag the loops.
  2. Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent mixed with water and a damp cloth. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Deep Cleaning: Professional cleaning is recommended for a thorough clean if necessary, following the manufacturer's guidelines.
  4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or abrasive cleaning agents, as these can damage the fibers and backing.
