Stair runners generally run up the center of the stairs. They will be a foot wide or extend out virtually to the ends of every stair. Putting in a stair runner follows the identical procedure as installing carpet to a floor except stairways have angles, plus floors generally do not.
Measure the width of the rear of each tread plus even the width of every riser. (They are meant to be the same.) Purchase a runner the length of the measurement minus any area you wish on either side. Locate carpet runners here.
Cut pieces of tackless strip equal to the measurements of the carpet minus two inches. The tackless strip may be purchased at any home store. Attach a piece of tackless strip to the back of each stair tread. Place the strip in the center on every tread with the tacks facing the riser. Keep one in. between the strip and the overall back of the tread. Hammer the tackless strips to the staircase. Place a piece of tackless strip in the center on each riser with the tacks facing toward the tread. Keep a 1-in. gap between the strip and the overall bottom of the riser. Hammer the tackless strips to the staircase.
Cut pieces of carpet pad to size. The pad needs to be the identical width as the tackless strip. Every piece needs to butt up against the tackless strip on the back of a tread, wrap around the nose of the tread plus extend to the very edge of the tackless strip in the riser. Hammer a nail into each back corner plus each six inches down and over the riser. Install the stair carpet runner starting at the very beneath the nose of the staircase landing. Tuck the end of the carpet below the nose plus secure it using carpet tacks–1 at each corner and every 4 inches. Smooth the carpet flat as you go, rounding the nose of the tread and laying the carpet flat to the riser. Push the carpet firmly to the tackless strips in the corner. Hammer it in together with a chisel. Continue laying out and securing the carpet over the treads and down the risers till you arrive at the bottom of the staircase. Tuck the very bottom edge of the runner carpet up beneath the flange at the bottom riser and secure it using carpet tacks.
