What makes The Stair Runner Store different from other flooring retailers?

Our large product selection is the first thing that customers notice, but the differences do not stop there. In the hall and stair runner business, Stair Runner Store is unmatched not only in selection, service, and craftsmanship, but experience specifically in runners. This is what we do - We've spent the last 25+ years dealing with patterned, woven carpet, from a straight staircase to complex layouts or challenging fabrication, and all types of staircases and hallways.

Unlike a typical flooring dealer, StairRunnerStore.com offers unique fabrication techniques developed by John - tools and materials specific to work with woven carpet runners. Custom fabrication work is shipped daily to customers throughout the country. Whether simple or complex - why not purchase your runner from the experts? Please read About Us, Testimonials from customers or visit our Installation Galleries.

What materials are used to make Stair Carpet products?

Runners are generally woven using either wool or synthetic pile fibers. Regardless of the fiber, most woven products are constructed in similar ways on the same types of looms. Wool products tend to vary more in the types of looms used to weave them. Each fiber comes in an array of qualities and prices, but synthetic fiber is typically a less expensive choice. Our product selection is split nearly in half by wool or synthetic options. Since we have such a vast collection, hundreds of choices are offered in each fiber.

How are carpet runner materials sold?

Hall Runner or Stair Runner materials,* those which are offered in a number of fixed width categories, also known as Roll Runners are sold by the running or linear foot. Each of these runner product pages have a drop down menu in order to select the linear footage needed.

Runner material is sold in full foot increments - however, if you need a hall or floor runner end finished to a specific length we can accommodate that request. More information can be found on this page: Runner End Finishes Explained
