FAQs

What is the exact thickness of the pile?

The runner has a 9mm plush pile thickness.

Is this runner suitable for pets?

Yes, the stain-resistant polypropylene and securely woven tufts make it suitable for homes with pets, as it resists stains and potential snagging.

How do I measure for my custom-sized stair runner?

You will need to measure the length of each step where the runner will be placed and the total width required. It is recommended to double-check all measurements before placing your order.

Can I clean this runner with a carpet cleaner machine?

While general vacuuming is recommended, for deep cleaning, it's best to follow the bleach cleanable instructions or consult a professional carpet cleaner. Ensure the runner dries thoroughly.

What does 'Wilton-grade quality' mean?

Wilton-grade refers to a high-quality weaving method that ensures each tuft is securely bound into the backing, resulting in a durable, resilient, and long-lasting product that resists flattening and snagging.

Is the runner slippery?

The polypropylene material and hessian backing provide a stable surface. However, for maximum safety, especially on stairs, ensure it is correctly installed with appropriate underlay or grippers.

What are the fire safety ratings?

The product has a low radius of ignition and has been hot nut tested to comply with BS 4790 standards.

Troubleshooting

Runner feels stiff or less soft initially

The pile may settle after a short period of use. Regular vacuuming can help to restore its softness.

Visible wear on high-traffic steps

While durable, very heavy, constant use can eventually show. Ensure regular vacuuming and consider a runner with a higher wear rating if extreme durability is needed.

Difficulty in cleaning a stubborn stain

Use a diluted bleach solution (follow product guidelines) and blot gently. Ensure the area is rinsed and dried completely afterwards.

Snagging noticed on the runner

Check for any loose threads or objects on the stairs. The Wilton-grade construction is designed to prevent snagging; if it occurs frequently, inspect the runner and stairs for underlying issues.

  • Resistant to fading, static, and moths.
  • Customizable to fit specific staircase dimensions.
  • Premium Wilton-grade quality for longevity.

Cons

  • Requires precise measurement for custom sizing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This runner is designed to be professionally finished to your exact measurements. Once received, it can be installed onto your staircase using appropriate stair runner installation methods, typically involving carpet grippers and staples. Ensure you have accurately measured your staircase and specified the desired dimensions during the ordering process.

Compatibility: The Avanti stair runner is suitable for most standard domestic staircases. It is compatible with various flooring types underneath, provided the staircase structure is sound. The hessian backing is durable for dry indoor environments.

Care: Cleaning is straightforward thanks to the stain-resistant and bleach-cleanable properties of the polypropylene. For general maintenance, regular vacuuming is recommended to remove dust and debris. For spills, blot the area immediately with a clean cloth. For tougher stains, a mild bleach solution can be used – test in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid excessive moisture and ensure the runner dries thoroughly after cleaning.
