Murfreesboro Real Estate Tips-Installing Carpet Runner On Wood Stairs

If you are tired of walking on your cold wooden stairs, or maybe tired of slipping on the slick surface, this might be the perfect time for you to install a carpet runner on your wood stairs. In this post I will show you exactly how to install the runner.

Murfreesboro Real Estate Tips-Installing Carpet Runner On Wood Stairs

Step 1: Install Tackless Strips

These strips will ensure that the padding and carpet runner don't slip

Step 2: Install the Padding

The padding will make your steps more comfortable

Step 3: Trim Carpet to Size

Measure the carpet and cut to the proper size for the stairs

Step 4: Crease the Carpet Runner

Crease a line on both edges of the runner to fold the carpet under for a nice clean edge.

Step 5: Position and Attach the Runner

Begin to install the runner starting from the botton

Step 6: Staple the Riser

Staple the carpet in place as you move up the stairs

Step 7: Tuck the Carpet Into the Corner

Tuck the carpet into the joints of the stairs for a clean edge

Step 8: Straighten the Runner's Edges

Use an awl to straighten the runners edges before you staple in place.
