How to calculate the right stair runner with a calculator.
Buying a stair runner online is easy.Cut roll runners are also known as stair runners and have been installed by Rugs Done Right for over 20 years.Stair runners vary in width from 20 to 48 inches.A standard staircase has a width of 27"
If you have a staircase that takes a 90 degree turn, but has a flat landing, you will need to decide how to lay the runner.People use two runners on these staircases.One runner goes up the first part of the stairs and over the flat landing, ending just before the wall.The second runner goes from the base of the second set of steps to the upstairs landing.The runner could be hit on the landing.The runner needs to be seamed on the landing by a professional in order to create a unified look.
You will need a stair runner installed if you have a curved staircase.They should be able to give you a free estimate and tell you how many linear feet you need.
If you are installing the stair runner yourself, or having it installed professionally, we at Rugs Done Right are happy to help you every step of the way.
Simply add the number of linear feet to the cart.When you access the shopping cart page, the total can be adjusted.
We suggest you figure about 19 per stair because the risers and treads are roughly the same size.The stairs have one more riser than tread, which leads to the top landing.If your stairs take a 90 degree turn with a landing in the middle, you will add two additional risers.5 steps, then a landing, and then another 6 steps.
If you have a 90 degree turn with a flat landing, you will need to decide how you want the runner to look.The runner seems to be one continuous piece, like the corner of a picture frame.Although this is a very attractive look, keep in mind that the pressure on the seam from foot traffic will cause the runner to become worn or even pull apart over time.The runners should line up with the edge of the runner going up the staircase if they are bound on the landing from the wall.
Adding additional footage for each step is required if you have a 90 degree turn with three or more pie shaped stairs.If you are cutting the runner or mitering it on the tread, this is how it will be.The best way to get an accurate estimate is to speak to a local installer.
