Tips for Selecting Your Stair

Runner

*Select your desired width. Carpet runners come in a variety of widths so be sure to measure

your steps before ordering. . The runner should be approximately 6 inches narrower than the

staircase measured between a baluster and the skirt board.

*Select your finishing options. Finishing options may include serging ends, which is a basic form

of finishing in which the ends of the runner are bound to prevent unraveling. Or you might have

the option to select end capping, which fully frames the side border of the runner.

*Select pads for your stair runner. Pads placed beneath the stair runner will reduce wear and tear

while adding a plush, luxurious feel. Be sure to use a firm pad constructed of synthetic or natural

fibers. The pad should be at least ¼ inch thick and weigh at least 32 ounces a yard. Payless Rugs

highly recommends that the stair tread and nose of the step be padded with a quality pad like our

Dura Grip Plus Stair Tread Pad, to avoid premature wear.

*Warning! Do not use stair rods to hold stair runners in place. Stair rods are for decorative use

only and are not effective in holding your stair runner in place.
