Custom Stair Runners in Seattle, WA from Vogel's Carpets & Flooring

How is carpet installed on stairs? A custom stair runner primer.


If you?re in the market for carpet for your stairs, you might wonder about how the installation process is carried out. Let us help you understand!

Carpet for your stairs has never been easier


Custom stair runners
can be both time-consuming and awkward, but with a team of professionals taking care of the task, your results will be stellar. We will take your chosen carpeting and specific measurements to ensure the perfect fit before any installation starts.

There are several methods of installation to choose from, including the Hollywood and the Waterfall methods. The Hollywood method wraps the carpeting over the tread and around the front edge, also known as the nosing, fastening it to the riser for a contoured and clean look.

The Waterfall method drops right off the tread instead of being secured to the riser, creating a casual style that is most often used in basements or when thick carpeting is chosen. Your preferred method will be based on your specific requirements for appearance and functionality.

We will also discuss a carpet padding option, which adds more softness and comfort and can add years to the materials' lifespan. If you'd like more information on installing these materials, be sure to stop by to speak with a flooring professional at your convenience.
