Transform Your Staircase With Custom Carpet Runners

Elegance and Protection

Custom carpet runners add an elegant touch to any staircase while also protecting the surface from damage. Available in a variety of styles, colors, and pile heights to complement your home’s décor, carpet runners transform an ordinary staircase into a focal point.

Superior Quality and Customization

Carpet Concepts Unlimited produces high-quality custom carpet runners with options to suit any budget. We utilize premium carpet materials and employ skilled craftsmen to fabricate runners to your exact specifications. Customers may select carpet from our extensive collection or provide their own carpet for fabrication. We can also customize runner width, length, and binding to achieve a perfect fit for your staircase.

Safety and Longevity

Properly installed carpet runners increase safety by providing slip resistance on hard staircase surfaces. Tight-fitting, securely bound edges and non-skid backing help prevent tripping to make staircases safer for family members of all ages. Premium carpet materials and workmanship also ensure maximum durability and longevity. With proper care and maintenance, custom carpet runners can provide safe and stylish stairway covering for many years.

Value and Convenience

Custom carpet runners offer an affordable and convenient solution for upgrading your staircase. Rather than replacing an entire staircase, runners provide an easy cosmetic update with professional results at a fraction of the cost. We handle all aspects from design to installation, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of a custom runner without the hassle. For elegance, safety, and convenience, custom carpet runners are an unparalleled choice.

Benefits of Custom Staircase Carpet Runners

Safety

Custom stair runners provide increased traction to prevent dangerous slips and falls. The high-quality carpet material grips onto the surface of steps, even when wet, giving you and your family members peace of mind and security.

Aesthetics

Carpet runners transform your staircase into an elegant focal point of your home. Available in a variety of styles, colors, and patterns, runners complement your home’s décor and architecture. They provide a luxurious look and softness underfoot as you ascend and descend the steps.

Protection

Stair runners shield the surface of steps from damage and wear over time. They prevent scratches, dents, and tears to the wood or tile under the carpet. Runners also muffle the sounds of footsteps, especially in homes with wood or tile stairs.

Customization

Carpet Concepts Unlimited custom designs stair runners to perfectly suit your staircase and home. We offer a range of premium carpet materials, including wool, nylon, polypropylene, and blended fibers, to meet your needs for durability, style, and budget. Our design experts precisely measure and install the runners to your staircase for a flawless finish, with edges securely bound to prevent fraying and tripping.

Value

While stair runners require an upfront investment, they significantly increase the value and appeal of your home. For homeowners looking to sell their property, stair runners are an easy way to make a memorable first impression and communicate a high level of care and quality throughout the home.

Choosing the Perfect Carpet Runner for Your Stairs

When selecting a custom carpet runner for your staircase, there are a few factors to consider to ensure an elegant and cohesive update to your home. First, determine the style of carpet runner that complements your existing décor. Options include vibrant patterned runners, solid color runners that blend seamlessly into the backdrop, or textured runners that provide subtle visual interest.

Next, measure the width and length of your staircase to order a carpet runner that provides full coverage. For the most uniform appearance, select a carpet runner that extends the entire length of the staircase without any seams. Measure carefully, as returns (the vertical parts of the stairs) and landings can often be wider than the treads.

The material and pile of the carpet runner also impact its performance and appearance on stairs. A low-pile carpet with a non-skid backing is ideal for stairs, as it is more durable and less likely to cause tripping. Wool, nylon, and polypropylene are excellent carpet fibers for high-traffic areas. Consider a carpet runner with a stain-resistant treatment, as stairs can be prone to frequent spills and stains.

Finally, for the border, select from a variety of stylish options like serging, binding, or fringe to finish the edges of your carpet runner. Serging and binding provide a clean-cut border, while fringe offers an elegant, custom touch. For the most professional installation, have your carpet runner installed by a certified professional. With the proper measurements, style, and installation, a custom carpet runner can add beauty and grace to your staircase.

Customizing Your Staircase Runner Design

When it comes to customizing staircase runners, there are several factors to consider in order to achieve an elegant design that complements your home’s décor.

Pattern and Color

Selecting an appropriate pattern and color scheme is paramount. Geometric, floral and scrolling patterns are traditional options that work well for most homes. However, you may want to match or complement existing carpeting, flooring or wall colors for a cohesive look. Our design specialists can provide recommendations and samples to help you determine the optimal pattern and color for your space.

Border

Adding a border along the edges of the runner provides a polished finish and helps prevent fraying. Multiple border options are available, including serged, bound and fringed. The border material and color can either match or contrast with the runner for different effects. For example, a darker border on a lighter runner helps define the edges, while a matching border creates an uninterrupted flow.

Length

The length of your staircase runner should extend to the top and bottom steps for the most elegant appearance. However, if budget is a concern, you have the option to install a shorter runner that covers just the center portion of the staircase. In that case, the runner should extend at least two or three steps down from the top and up from the bottom for the best look.

Installation

Proper installation is key to enhancing both the beauty and function of your staircase runner. Our experienced installers carefully secure the runner to each step using high-quality padding and non-slip backing materials. This helps prevent bunching, slipping and tripping hazards, allowing you to enjoy your new staircase runner safely for years to come.

By thoughtfully considering each of these factors, you can create a custom staircase runner design that is as unique as your home. Let Carpet Concepts Unlimited help make your vision a reality.

Installing and Caring for Your New Carpet Staircase Runner

Once you have selected your custom carpet staircase runner, it is important to properly install and care for it to maximize its longevity and appearance.

Installation

Professional installation by Carpet Concepts Unlimited is recommended to ensure proper fitting and adherence to safety standards. Our installers will securely attach your runner to each step using high-quality padding and tack strips for stability, preventing bunching, slipping or tripping hazards. For the best results, we recommend installing runners at the time of initial carpet installation.

Regular Vacuuming

Frequent vacuuming, at least once a week, is key to keeping your carpet staircase runner clean and looking its best. Use the proper height setting and brush roll for carpet on your vacuum. Vacuum slowly and carefully, going with the grain of the carpet. Vacuuming prevents dirt buildup and keeps the pile lifted, which helps maintain appearance.

Professional Deep Cleaning

In addition to regular vacuuming, professional deep cleaning by a carpet cleaning service every 6-12 months is recommended. Hot water extraction using truck-mounted equipment is the most effective method for deep cleaning carpeted staircases. Professional deep cleaning removes embedded dirt and stains, helps restore pile, and leaves your carpet fresh, clean and rejuvenated.

Protect from Furniture Damage

Be very careful when moving furniture or heavy/sharp objects over carpeted stairs. Use protective pads, and lift rather than drag furniture to avoid snags, tears, or damage to the carpet.

Address Spills and Stains Promptly

Blot spills and stains immediately with a clean, white cloth to absorb as much of the spill as possible. For protein stains, use a mixture of detergent and hydrogen peroxide. Follow with water and blot until completely removed. For more persistent stains, professional carpet cleaning may be required to avoid permanent damage.

Following these steps will help you get the most out of your custom carpet staircase runner for years to come. Our team is also available for any questions or concerns you may have about properly caring for your new carpet.
