Glossary Entry - STAIR RUNNER WIDTH:

The largest runner selection exists in 2 width categories:  26″ to 27″ runner width is most common for a staircase width of 39 inches or less.  30″ to 31″ runner width is often best for stairs 40 inches wide or more. Although fewer choices – 36″ wide runners (and a small group at 41″) are available for extra wide stairs, more than 44 inches for example. Use filters when searching our runner selection to sort the best width for your project. 

You may prefer a width in relation to your stair widths that falls outside of these suggestions. There are no “rules” as to the reveal. (Reveal = exposed area alongside the runner) Stair and hall widths vary more than runner product widths, and most often width varies within the staircase or hall. If you’ve been told or read that a specific reveal is the rule – this will likely result in a runner which must be custom made throughout and therefore a more expensive project. Flexibility on the reveal allows the runner to be a standard width.

For those project which require non-standard widths  - Please visit our Custom Width Category.
