Stair runners add class and beauty upon entering a home.  Carpet stair runners transform an ordinary staircase into an elegant entry way into your home.  They are often times referred to as works of art.  and make a statement about the home.  Stair runners reduce noise made by people going up and down the stairs, and they add a decorative look to a stairway.  A runner also protects both treads and risers from wear and tear.

Wool or synthetic fiber?

A stair runner is usually more decorative than standard carpet and is  woven for stair use. Stair runners are typically woven using wool or synthetic pile fibers.  The fiber comes in a variety of styles and prices.
Either fiber is great and can be said to be better than the other in different ways.  With a runner, you don’t typically want to go too light or too dark. Dark show lint, while light-colored carpeting shows dirt and scuffs. IN most cases a medium tone is the best option.  Our experts at Coventry will provide our customers with all of the information necessary regarding the differences and help you make the right choice for your home.

Stair runner installation:
They are usually installed over a dense carpet pad with small hidden staples. This keeps the carpeting from moving.  Having a properly installed stair runner is critical for it  to perform well and last for a long time.  Incorrect installation can result in a safety risk and reduce the life of the runner.  At Coventry we deal with all types of staircases and we have a lifetime installation guarantee.
