Stairs see more concentrated wear than almost any other area of the home, which makes pile type and fitting quality especially important.
Twist and Berber pile
Dense twist pile and Berber loop carpets are the two most recommended options for stairs. Their tightly-twisted or looped fibres resist crushing and flattening far better than a deep, soft Saxony pile.
Why fitting quality matters most on stairs
A poorly fitted stair carpet will show wear and wrinkling within months, regardless of quality. Our fitters use proper stair pads and gripper techniques to keep the carpet taut and secure on every step.
Stair runners
If you want to show off a painted or varnished staircase, a bound stair runner is a stylish alternative to full-width carpet — see our runners for pre-bound options, or ask about a bespoke runner cut to your stairs.
