Treppenläufer & Stufenmatten

Measure the width of one tread and take off 10 to 15cm, so a border of stair shows on each side. For the length, count every tread and every riser, then measure the depth and the height. These runners go up to 30 metres, which covers a long flight. See the stair measuring guide.

Not if it is fitted properly. Rubber, gel or latex backing is not what holds it. The underlay and gripper pack, staples or a nail gun does. Stair rods are a finish. They are not the grip. Start at the top step and work down. The full order is in the stair runner fitting guide.

Yes, with care. The runners come in set widths, so a winding flight may not line up the same on every step. A fitter can trim the runner on site if it has to follow the turn. If you need it to match every angle, contact us before you order.

Vacuum it often. Most are short-pile or looped polypropylene, so spills come off with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Do not soak the runner or use harsh chemicals. Check the care note on the product, because the right method depends on the material.

They add a softer, grippier surface than bare wood, which helps pets and children on the flight. They only stay put when they are fitted with the underlay and gripper pack, staples or a nail gun. The backing on its own is not the safety fix.

It is a length of carpet for the stairs, cut to the length you order, with the edges bound before it arrives. You fit it to the flight with an underlay and gripper pack. It is not a loose rug, and it is not wall-to-wall carpet.
