Frequently Asked Questions

What is a stair runner?

A herringbone stair runner is a strip of carpet fitted down the centre of the stairs, with the sides of each step left visible. It features a zig-zag herringbone pattern that adds texture, detail and a smart fitted look.

Do stair runners make stairs safer?

A fitted stair runner can add grip and comfort compared with bare stairs, helping reduce the risk of slipping. It should always be fitted securely with the right underlay, grippers and accessories.

Can I use a herringbone stair runner on a landing?

Yes, many people use a matching herringbone carpet or runner style across the stairs and landing for a coordinated finish. Check the product size and fitting options before ordering.

How do I measure for a herringbone stair runner?

Measure the width of your stairs, then decide how much of the stair you want visible on each side. You will also need to measure the rise and depth of each step to work out the total runner length needed. View our guide here.

Do herringbone stair runners need underlay?

Are herringbone stair runners easy to clean?

Should I order samples before buying a stair runner?
