Transform Your Stairs with Bespoke Stair Runners from Luxury Flooring Manchester

Stair runners are an elegant and practical way to enhance your staircase while offering protection from daily wear. At Luxury Flooring Manchester, we specialise in designing, supplying, and installing custom stair runners, making your staircase a stunning focal point in your home. Here are the top 10 frequently asked questions about stair runners.

1. Why Choose a Stair Runner?

Stair runners combine the sophistication of exposed wood with the comfort and safety of carpet. They add a luxurious touch while providing a non-slip surface, reducing noise, and enhancing safety—particularly for children and elderly family members.

2. What Are the Options for Stair Runners?

Custom Stair Runners

At Luxury Flooring Manchester, we  help you to design your very own custom stair runner :

  • Custom-Made Runners: Choose any carpet you love, and we’ll transform it into a bespoke runner that perfectly complements your décor.

We offer an extensive range of materials, patterns, and colors to match any interior style.

3. What’s the Best Material for a Stair Runner?

Durability and Style

For high-traffic areas like stairs, durability is essential. We recommend wool or wool-blend carpets, known for their resilience and ability to retain their appearance despite heavy foot traffic. Wool carpets also offer a luxurious feel and are naturally resistant to dirt and wear.

4. How Do You Prevent the Edges from Fraying?

To prevent fraying, we offer two options:

  • Whipping Process: A professional binding technique that secures the edges for a neat, long-lasting finish.
  • Bordered Runners: For a decorative and stylish edge, consider adding a bordered runner.

5. What Are the Popular Styles for Stair Runners?

Classic and Contemporary Designs

Popular styles for stair runners include:

  • Stripes: A timeless choice that complements the lines of the staircase.
  • Herringbone and Geometric Patterns: For a modern and sophisticated look.

Your choice of style ultimately depends on your personal taste and the overall décor of your home.

6. Can I Add Stair Rods?

Absolutely! Stair rods add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any runner. At Luxury Flooring Manchester, we offer a wide selection of stair rods in various styles and finishes, allowing you to customize the look to match your interior design.

7. What Is the Best Carpet Texture for Stair Runners?

Low-Pile for Durability

For stairs, a low-pile carpet is ideal. We recommend textures such as tightly woven Berber, loop pile  and flatweave carpets, which offer excellent durability and slip resistance, ensuring both safety and longevity.

8. How Do I Measure My Stairs for a Runner?

Our expert team will visit your home to take precise measurements, ensuring a perfect fit for your staircase. We account for every detail, including the tread length, riser height, and any landing areas.

9. Do You Offer Installation Services?
