Carpet Runners For Hallways And Stairs
Rug runners assist
in linking the hall and stairway in your home. Some companies make
runners up to one hundred feet long, so there are no limits when
shopping for the ideal carpet runner. It is prudent to buy underlining for your
runners to keep them from slipping or sliding. To keep your stair runner
in place, get stair rods.
Be
careful using rugs or runners over carpet in high traffic areas as doing
so may cause a permanent soil line on your carpet. The carpet under the
runner gets no light; no traffic and no soil, while the area along the
runner’s edges get all of the above. When you remove the carpet or
runner, there will be a noticeable patch and the damaged part will not
be able to be reconditioned.
Safety Hints For Runners
Secure throw rugs,
runners and mats. The Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that
6800 people age 65 and older, are treated in emergency rooms for mishaps
connected to rugs and runners. Apply double sided adhesive carpet tape,
buy runners with slip resistant backing or put rubber matting beneath
them.
Runners are a great way to add color and warmth to a long hall or
stairway, and make these areas more visually pleasing. They are also very suitable for main entrances,
which will
subconsciously guide the eye into the house, and thus make a dramatic
statement. Stair runners can also visually transform a plain wood
stairway.
