Carpet stair runner install

Use a vacuum for heavy traffic areas, such as hallways, stairs, and exterior entryways at least twice a week. Vacuum less heavily used areas weekly. For best results, use a vacuum cleaner with a beater bar or rotating brush and with a strong enough air flow to penetrate to the carpet backing. Carpet with thick loop pile construction, particularly wool and wool blend styles, may be sensitive to brushing or rubbing of the pile surface and may become fuzzy.

For these products, and those styles with a combination thick or thin or cable yarn, a suction-only vacuum is recommended for the best carpet maintenance. If that is not available, use or a vacuum with an adjustable brush lifted away from the carpet so it does not agitate the pile. At Stair Runner Guys vacuum cleaners are the best to use and also affordable at better prices for information in case of failure of the vacuum cleaners or maintenance of the carpet call us on Call Now Home About Us Contact Us.

What Are Stair Runners? Gives you some padding for a secure place to move up and down the stairs. The noise dampening qualities in carpet reduces any sound of walking up and down the stairway.

There is an alternate option of a waterfall installation where the runner comes off the tread and is pulled down at an angle into the crevice of the riser and next tread. A quick trip down memory lane so you can really see how far these stairs have come.

When we moved in back in everything was painted red. I quickly refinished the space with a lot of white paint and gave the stairs their first makeover. One important item to consider if you have a landing is how the runner will be installed in that space. I had originally planned for a mitered seam which is a diagonal seam where to two pieces of rug meet on the landing. However, once I had the rug in the space the mitered seam felt very extreme. It created the feeling of 3 blue arrows pointing into the corner and it felt very sharp drawing your eyes into the corner.

So ultimately I decided to go with a 90 seam as you see below:. The painters tape will provide a guide as you do the installation. It is critical to keep the runner lined up perfectly with the edge of the painters tape.

This is especially important if you have a runner with a vertical stripe like mine because any shifting in the stripe will make your installation look less than professional.

You most definitely want padding under the woven runner. Woodard Weave suggests a 40 oz. Once the rug pad is firmly attached then go back and remove any excess padding from under the nose. For the landing area be sure to cut one big piece of padding. Use your tape markings as a guide.

There seems to be two schools of thought when it comes to installation — those who start at the top of the staircase and those who start at the bottom. I choose to start at the bottom. Also note I have a baseboard that runs across the bottom riser.

I choose to keep that baseboard in position as it provides a finished edge for the bluestone and a nice spot to begin the runner. It keeps the runner off the stone and actually prolongs the life of the runner there since that is exactly where the front of peoples shoes would hit the runner.

You may consider using a sharpie on your staples so they are more inconspicuous. You can do this before you load them into the stapler. Or after they are installed in the rug go back and apply Sharpie to any staple that is extremely visible.

To make the finished edge simple fold under the runner and staple down.
