Now down to the business of stair runner carpet fitting with stair rods
Stage 1. Measure the intended position of the stair runner and mark on the stairs .
Stage 2. Take your underlay and cut it to a width of 10cm less than the runner width . Most of our stair runners are 55cm so that is 45cm. Staple this to the tread and just over the riser fixing under the lip of the tread . Leave a 1.5cm space at the back of the stair with no underlay . This space will make room for fixings and the stair rod in due course .
