Stair runners questions from Strood customers
Do you do bound edges in Strood?
Yes — all our Strood runners are professionally bound to width in either matching or contrast tape, with woven herringbone binding available too.
Can you fit a pattern across winder treads?
Yes — winder treads need each piece cut individually and the pattern matched. It takes longer but it's worth it for the finished look.
How long does a stair runner take to fit?
A standard 13-step staircase with a small landing is a full day for the fit, plus a few days lead time on the bound runner itself.
Can you fit a runner on my spindle staircase in Strood?
Yes — spindle staircases are one of the trickiest fits and we do them every week across Strood. The runner is cut to width, bound on both edges and tucked carefully behind each spindle.
Do I need stair rods?
No, they're optional. They add a finished look and traditional feel, but they don't structurally hold the runner — the underlay, grippers and stretching do that.
