Product Information

Full details

This B&Q Malis stair runner is designed for homeowners seeking a durable, low-maintenance flooring solution for high-traffic staircases. Its key benefit lies in its exceptional resilience against flattening, crushing, and everyday wear, thanks to its 100% stain-resistant polyamide loop pile construction and rot-proof gel-latex backing. A potential caveat is that while the backing offers a secure grip, it may not be suitable for all stair surfaces without additional securing methods, and professional finishing is required for custom sizes.

FAQs

What is the material of the Malis stair runner?

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

Does the runner require underlay or gripper rods?

The gel-latex backing is designed to provide a secure grip on most surfaces, often eliminating the need for underlay or gripper rods. However, this can depend on the stair surface and desired security level.

How do I clean the stair runner?

Vacuum regularly. For spills, blot immediately. Use a mild detergent and damp cloth for stains, then dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Is the runner suitable for outdoor use?

While it is waterproof and rot-proof, it is designed for indoor staircase use. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh weather conditions is not recommended.

Can I cut the runner to a custom size myself?

The runner is professionally finished to your chosen size. Cutting it yourself may cause fraying and is not recommended as it will compromise the finished appearance and durability.

What is the wear rating of this stair runner?

This stair runner has a 'Heavy Domestic wear' rating, making it suitable for high-traffic areas in homes.

Is the runner resistant to moths and static?

Yes, the material is resistant to moths and static electricity.

Troubleshooting

Runner is moving or slipping

Ensure the stair surface is clean and dry. The gel-latex backing provides grip, but on very smooth surfaces, consider using carpet tape or a suitable adhesive along the edges for extra security.

Stubborn stains are difficult to remove

Use a mild detergent solution specifically designed for carpet. Blot the stain gently with a damp cloth, rinse with clean water, and dry thoroughly. Avoid overwetting the area.

Fraying at the edges

This is uncommon with professionally finished runners. Inspect the edges for any snagging or damage from sharp objects. If fraying persists, contact the retailer for advice.

Runner appears flattened in high-traffic areas

While designed to resist flattening, very extreme traffic may cause some compression. Regular vacuuming can help lift the pile. Ensure no heavy furniture is constantly resting on it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This stair runner is professionally finished to your chosen size. Ensure your stairs are clean and dry before installation. The gel-latex backing offers a secure grip on most stair surfaces, and for many users, installation can proceed without the need for additional underlay or gripper rods. However, for maximum security or on particularly smooth surfaces, consider using double-sided carpet tape or appropriate adhesive to secure the edges further.

Compatibility: The runner is designed for use on most standard stair surfaces. The gel-latex backing is generally compatible with wood, tile, and painted stairs. It is not recommended for use on very delicate or unfinished surfaces without testing in an inconspicuous area first.

Care: Cleaning is straightforward. For general maintenance, vacuum regularly to remove dust and debris. For spills, blot the affected area immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent solution and a damp cloth, working from the outside of the stain inwards. Ensure the area is dried thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools, as these can damage the polyamide fibers.
