FAQs

What is the main benefit of the gel-latex backing?

The gel-latex backing provides a secure, non-slip grip on most surfaces, enhancing safety and stability on your stairs without the need for separate underlay or gripper.

Is this stair runner suitable for homes with pets?

Yes, the flatweave construction and durable polypropylene material make it resistant to wear and tear from pets, and it's largely indestructible to claws.

How do I clean spills on this runner?

Blot spills immediately with a clean cloth. The runner is stain and bleach-resistant, so most spills can be cleaned easily with a mild detergent solution. The waterproof backing prevents liquids from soaking through.

Can I install this runner without gripper and underlay?

Yes, the non-slip backing allows for direct fixing to the stairs using adhesive, staples, or stair rods. Gripper and underlay can still be used if preferred.

What is the texture of the runner like?

The runner has a firm, hardwearing, and somewhat coarse texture due to its flatweave construction. It is designed for durability rather than plush comfort.

Is this runner resistant to fading?

Yes, the 100% polypropylene material is resistant to fading from UV sunlight.

What does 'Ultra Heavy Domestic' wear rating mean?

This rating indicates that the runner is designed to withstand the highest levels of domestic foot traffic, making it ideal for very busy homes and high-traffic areas like staircases.

Troubleshooting

Runner is not staying in place

Ensure the gel-latex backing is clean and free from dust. Re-secure the runner using adhesive, staples, or stair rods, ensuring it is taut and firmly attached.

Stubborn stain on the runner

Use a mild detergent solution. Blot the stain gently. For difficult stains, diluted bleach can be used, but always test in a small, hidden area first.

Runner appears creased or uneven

Allow the runner to settle on the stairs. Ensure it is pulled taut during installation and fixed securely. Minor creases usually flatten out with foot traffic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Thanks to its gel-latex backing, it can be securely fixed directly to your stairs using adhesive, staples, or stair rods without the necessity of traditional gripper and underlay, although these can still be used. For optimal appearance and security, using stair rods is recommended. Always ensure the runner is fixed securely to prevent any movement.

Care Instructions:

  • Stains: Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent solution and blot again. Due to its stain-resistant nature, most common household spills should clean up easily.
