Stair Runners

Making Your Stairs More Beautiful, Secure & Quiet

Stair runners are an excellent choice, especially since your stairs experience heavy foot traffic from both people and pets. While leaving hardwood stairs uncovered has its benefits, there are many advantages to choosing carpeted stairs or installing carpet stair runners.

The decision often comes down to the practical benefits—carpeted stairs and stair runners help prevent slips and falls, making them a safer option for your home. Additionally, they act as noise insulators, reducing sound as people move up and down the stairs.

The 4-Most Important Reasons To Install Stair Runners?

1. Safety: As mentioned, carpeted stairs will reduce injury risks among young children, and the elderly. Falls and slips can largely be prevented with the installation of carpeted stair runners. Minimize the risk of taking a tumble on the way to get that midnight snack!
2. Maintenance & wear/tear: Carpet runners help protect your wood floors from scratches and scuffs, fading due to the sun’s rays. Carpet runners help keep your hardwood stairs looking beautiful. Some staircases get quite a bit of traffic in our homes. Let’s keep those stairs in pristine condition.
3. Reduce noise: Both carpeted stairs and carpet runners assist in muffling the noise of those walking up and down the stairs. This is especially helpful in apartment buildings with elderly tenants living beneath a young family or in homes with a study or entertainment area directly beneath the stairs.
4. Style & comfort: The possibilities are endless for styles, colors, and patterns to choose from for your carpet stair runners. Bold colors or soft hues… whatever your choice, we have all imaginable styles to match your home’s décor. The color and texture are incredibly important choices. The amount and type of traffic on your stairs will play an important role in determining whether you choose a light or dark color and if you’ll select a durable, stain-resistant carpet or a luxurious runner for your stairs.
