FAQs

Is this runner suitable for pets?

The loop pile construction can potentially snag on pet claws, leading to pulls or snags. While durable, if you have pets prone to scratching or snagging carpets, a cut pile or twist pile carpet might be a better option.

Can I fit this runner myself?

Yes, the anti-slip gel latex backing allows for flexible installation. You can potentially fit it without underlay or gripper rods by using adhesive, staples, or stair rods. Ensure stairs are clean and dry before fitting.

How do I clean this stair runner?

Regular vacuuming is recommended. For spills, blot the area immediately with a clean, damp cloth. Due to its stain-resistant properties, most common stains can be cleaned easily. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What does 'Heavy Domestic wear rating' mean?

This rating indicates the runner is suitable for high-traffic areas within a domestic setting, such as busy hallways and staircases. It means the product is built to withstand frequent use without significant wear.

Is the runner waterproof?

Yes, the gel latex backing makes the runner 100% waterproof and rot proof, meaning spillages will not cause the product to shrink or be permanently damaged.

What is the material of the runner?

The runner is made from 100% polyamide, a synthetic fiber known for its strength, durability, stain resistance, and resistance to fading.

How thick is the runner?

The runner has a thickness of 5.4mm.

Troubleshooting

Runner is not staying in place

Ensure the stair surface is clean and dry. If not using adhesive or staples, consider using stronger stair rods or a dedicated carpet adhesive for a more permanent fix. The gel backing provides grip, but very smooth or worn stair surfaces may require additional securing.

Snags or pulls in the loop pile

If a loop is snagged, carefully try to tuck it back in using a fine-tipped tool or tweezers. Avoid pulling on snags, as this can cause further damage. For pets, consider a different carpet style (cut pile or twist pile) if snagging becomes a recurring problem.

Runner appears to be flattening excessively

While designed to resist flattening, very extreme, constant pressure in one spot could cause temporary impression. Ensure regular vacuuming and try to vary foot traffic patterns if possible. If flattening is severe and permanent, check for underlying structural issues on the stairs or consider if the wear rating is sufficient for the exact usage.

Stains are difficult to remove

Blot spills immediately. For set-in stains, use a mild detergent mixed with water and gently scrub with a soft brush or cloth. Rinse the area with clean water and blot dry. Avoid excessive moisture. If a stain persists, consult a professional carpet cleaner.

Pros and Cons

  • Waterproof and stain-resistant for easy cleaning
  • Suitable for heavy domestic use in high-traffic areas

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This stair runner can be installed directly onto stairs. While underlay and gripper rods can be used, the integrated gel latex backing provides sufficient grip on most surfaces, allowing for fitting with adhesive, staples, or stair rods alone. Ensure the surface of the stairs is clean and dry before installation.

Compatibility: The anti-slip gel latex backing is designed to adhere securely to most common stair surfaces, including wood, laminate, and carpeted stairs (when fitted directly over existing carpet). It is suitable for use with underfloor heating, provided appropriate installation methods are followed.

Care: To maintain the runner's appearance and performance, regular vacuuming is recommended to remove dust and debris. For spills, blot the affected area immediately with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as these may damage the fibers or backing. Due to its stain-resistant properties, most common household stains should lift with simple cleaning.
