Stair Treads | Stair Mats | Indoor Stair Mats | Outdoor Stair Mats | Stair Nosing Profiles Indoor Stair Tread Mats, Decorative and Inexpensive As a general rule, darker colors hide dirt and stains better than lighter colored carpets. High traffic levels in your home might warrant a darker carpet. But your design style informs this choice as well. Are you looking for contrast against your wall color or the color of the stair treads? Or do you want something that will blend harmoniously? Material: Wool is a popular choice for stair carpets due to its durability, softness and natural stain resistance. It also offers excellent insulation properties. Nylon carpets are resilient and easy to clean, making them ideal for high-traffic areas like staircases. Polypropylene carpets are a budget-friendly option and resist fading and moisture, making them suitable for areas with higher humidity levels. It’s a good idea to look at samples (many outlets will send them to you in the post) and consider different materials and colours. General installation guidelines that provide helpful tips are available for all of the weaves that we sell. However, for a stair runner project, an experienced stair runner installer is the best source for installation guidelines.

Now, I’ve seen polypropylene products before, but this was the most natural looking I’ve seen yet. It wasn’t shiny and didn’t look like plastic at all. It really looked like a natural fiber rug. If you are a handyperson and decide to do the installation yourself, we recommend reading our blog post Flat Weave Carpet Installation - Everything You Need to Know. It is full of guidelines and tips that will guide your project to success.You can choose from a wide range of colours and styles, from bright coloured stripes to more natural-looking weaves. Whether you’re looking for sisal runners for halls, stairs or kitchens, we have the perfect flooring solution for you. Turning your house into a cosy sanctuary is a wonderful way to embrace a sense of comfort and relaxation. A cosy home envelops you in warmth and makes you feel instantly at ease. Whether it's the softness of plush rugs underfoot or the delightful scent of a diffuser, there are various ways to achieve that inviting ambience. These are our favourite tips for creating a cosy home:

Style: a professional can help you decide on the style of installation you want. For example, do you want waterfall style or Hollywood (aka French Cap or upholstered method)? How much, if any, flooring do you want exposed on either side of the runner? You can cut them to any size or shape, they don’t shed fibers, are easy to clean and won’t stain, there’s no musty organic smell that often accompanies a natural fiber rug, and they aren’t slippery on stairs. Lots of nice attributes for a stair carpet or any rug, I would say! Indoor stair mats provide both design and safety to your staircase. Indoor stair tread mats cover wooden and stone steps and prevent accidents while providing a soft surface underfoot. Made from high-quality synthetic fibres or natural sisal fibres, indoor stair mats are a true adornment for any staircase. In addition to the design, our stair mats offer the best function and performance. Each indoor stair mat is finished with a durable woven edging, which prevents fraying and ensures long-term reliability. To ensure a secure hold to your step, our indoor stair mats are fitted with a solid securing profile located on the overhang and a durable adhesive strip for fixing to the step. Once the mats are in place, they ensure a lasting hold for years to come. Outdoor Stair Treads - For Optimal Stair Safety in All Weather If your home is bustling with playful energy, opting for an easy to clean material is smart. Wool is an excellent choice, thanks to its durability, cleanability and insulating properties (for both noise and warmth). Our exclusive SynSisal® is also a great option for high traffic areas. With its stain-resistant ECONYL® fibers and gorgeous sisal-look, a weave from this collection makes a smart and classy stair runner. Do you love natural fibers like sisal, jute, seagrass or coir?

Stair runners are another option to consider. They’re typically cheaper than full carpet, and only cover the middle section of the stairs. They can be made from a variety of materials, and are an ideal option if you want the comfort and protection carpet offers, without completely covering up your original flooring. What colour should I choose for my stair carpet? Manchester Floors, a trade only resource in the Houston Design Center, hosted us this past week and I appreciate that they had several carpet reps in attendance, sharing some of the new product intros in their lines. Size: Measure the dimensions of your staircase accurately to determine the required size of the carpet. Ensure that the carpet fits snugly on each stair tread and does not extend beyond the edges to avoid tripping hazards. If you prefer a more contemporary look, you can opt for a "runner" style carpet, which covers only the centre portion of the stair treads, leaving the edges exposed. It can be hard to choose which natural fiber is best for a stair runner. There is some debate about natural fibers being OK on stairs. Some say sisal is too slippery, but others say they have not had a problem. And although sisal very durable, it can stain easily. For homes with light traffic, a sisal, jute or seagrass stair runner adds an organic element, sound insulation, and protects the stairs. Our Contract Coir is a coir-sisal blend that is ready for heavy traffic on stairs. Do you want an easy-to-clean stair runner? Stair treads are designed to protect your staircase from scratches and scuffs while providing traction and cushioning for increased safety. Stair tread sets consist of several small rugs that fit perfectly atop a stair, covering the center of the step where the highest levels of traffic occur. Dean Flooring Company offers a large selection of stair treads to choose from including beautiful sisal natural fiber stair treads. Sisal stair treads are thin and durable, but have a natural look and feel that's perfect for minimalist decor, nautical themes and seaside homes.

Textured fabrics: Incorporate textured fabrics into your home décor, such as knit throws, velvet curtains and woven baskets. Textured elements add depth and visual interest, making your space feel cosier and more inviting. Compared to other materials such as wool and polyester, sisal stair treads aren't quite as soft or cushioned. However, they are very appropriate for high foot traffic areas - especially your home's busy staircase - because they're able to stand up to constant abuse. With that being said, many interior designers and home owners prefer sisal treads for their stunning, all-natural texture and down-to-earth color tone. Dean Flooring Company offers sisal styles in many natural and dyed colors to match your unique vision. It’s basically a man-made fiber, sometimes made out of recycled plastic bottles, and can go indoors or out.

Carpet stairs: Install a carpet on your stairs to add both comfort and safety. Soft carpeting cushions each step, making walking on the stairs more pleasant. Choose a carpet colour and texture that complements your interior style, enhancing the overall warm and inviting atmosphere of your home. Plush rugs: Lay down plush rugs in high-traffic areas, such as the living room and bedroom, to provide softness underfoot and create a sense of luxury. Opt for rugs with warm colours and textures that invite you to sink your toes into their soft embrace, making your home feel more inviting. Ambient lighting: Create a cosy atmosphere with warm, soft lighting. Use lamps with warm-toned bulbs to add a gentle glow to your rooms. Dimmer switches can also be installed to adjust the light levels and create a more relaxed and intimate environment. Based on the tips above, browse our offerings to find the best carpet for your needs and lifestyle. Wools, natural fibers and synthetics all have a place in the home and make fantastic stair runners.
