Installing a Stair Runner: A Step-by-Step Guide

Measuring and Preparing the Stairs

Before installation, measure the width and length of the stairs. Ensure you have the correct runner size, allowing for an even margin on both sides.

Securing the Runner in Place

Use a staple gun or carpet tacks to secure the runner at the base of each riser. Start from the top and work your way down, ensuring the fabric is smooth and tight.

Finishing Touches and Maintenance

Once installed, trim excess fabric and secure the edges with binding tape. Regular vacuuming and occasional spot cleaning will keep your stair runner in pristine condition.
