WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF AN ENTRYWAY RUG RUNNER?

Perfect for areas that experience heavy footfall, including busy households and commercial venues, black rug runners bring several advantages. They’re great for protecting your surfaces, such as carpets, vinyl, and wooden flooring, against the wear and tear of everyday use.

Offering insulating properties, they also feel tactile to the touch. However, the main appeal for many customers is the visual transformation they provide for entrance areas including mudrooms and vestibules. Intended to be slightly narrower than the width of this setting, they create a refined look that lasts beyond trends. Homes with pets will also benefit, as this dark shade helps to hide muddy pawprints.

HOW DURABLE ARE BLACK RUG RUNNERS’ MATERIALS?

We're proud to offer you a choice of different materials to meet your individual needs. Some of our black rug runners have an 80% wool and 20% polypropylene fiber blend for a luxurious mix of softness and practicality.

Others are created in a stain-resistant 100% polypropylene composition for hardwearing resilience that feels soft when walked on. Whichever option you choose, we’re confident that your home’s entryway will withstand years of foot traffic.

WHAT WIDTHS OF BLACK RUG RUNNERS ARE AVAILABLE?

Many entryway spaces can benefit from the addition of a black rug runner. Getting the right width matters as we generally advise customers to leave several inches of flooring on either side of their runner for sought-after elegance. That’s why we stock eight widths of black rug runners, starting at a petite 1 foot 10 inch runner and extending up to 3 foot 11 inch wide runner rugs. This variety means you will find the right fit for your home or building.

DO RUG RUNNERS NEED UNDERLAY?

Safety matters, so we strongly recommend combining your black rug runner with a non-slip rug runner underlay. This non-adhesive option will limit movement from your new purchase. It can be positioned in place just in a few seconds.

Some of our black rug runners have a latex gel backing that makes them non-slip on wood, vinyl, or ceramic tiled floors. However, the success of this non-slip option on a carpet depends on the existing carpet’s thickness. Runners on high-pile carpets will be less secure, meaning you’ll also benefit from adding the 3mm underlay. Find out how to stop rug runners moving to help you make your decision.

HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED TO INSTALL A BLACK RUG RUNNER?

Simple to secure in place, most customers fit their underlay and black rug runner (single-handedly) in minutes. Therefore, you can avoid the expense of hiring a professional carpet installer, meaning you can easily relocate your rug runner to another area in the future.
