Common Questions
Stair Runner FAQs
From choosing between a Hollywood and waterfall style to materials, measuring, and timing, here are the questions we hear most about stair runners in Westport and across Fairfield County. Don’t see yours? Call us at 203-445-6314 and we’ll walk you through it.
What’s the difference between a Hollywood and a waterfall stair runner?
A Hollywood installation is tightly wrapped around the nose and riser of every step for a tailored, upholstered look that shows more detail. A waterfall installation drops straight down from the edge of each tread so the carpet cascades over the step for a cleaner, more streamlined finish that usually installs a little faster. We’ll walk your stairs with you and recommend the best fit.
What materials work best for a stair runner?
Wool and nylon are the most popular choices for stairs because they stand up to heavy foot traffic and keep their look over time. Wool is prized for its natural durability and rich feel, while nylon is resilient and easy to maintain. We carry a wide range of patterns and colors in both, from traditional to modern.
Do you measure for stair runners?
Yes. We offer a free, on-site measuring service. We come to your home, measure your staircase, review your style and material options with you, and answer your questions so the runner fits your steps precisely.
Can you install a runner on curved or pie-shaped stairs?
Yes. Curved staircases, landings, and pie-shaped (winder) steps take extra skill, and our installers are experienced with every staircase type. We’ll review your stairs on site and recommend the right approach.
How long does stair runner installation take?
In-stock materials generally move quickly, and most installations are completed within a few weeks of placing your order. Special-order patterns depend on the mill’s availability, so timing can vary — we’ll give you a realistic estimate up front.
Will a stair runner make my stairs safer?
A well-installed runner adds cushioning and traction underfoot, which can make hardwood stairs less slippery and quieter to walk on while protecting the wood beneath. Proper padding and a secure, professional installation are what make the difference.
