We did have a stripy carpet put on our last stairs & absolutely loved it. It was quite high wool content and so did the clothes moths! An absolute nightmare and I never completely got rid of them…

Really love your stair runner. It’s been one year now that Im trying to do the same here in Switzerland… but its just impossible to find someone that do this kind of work. My stairs are just like yours, with some steps bigger than others, so very difficult to do it by myself. Do you have any other photos with al the process? I would like to know how do you bind the tape, before, or after to put the carpet? How it’s done? I will be very grateful if you could send me a private email.
Warm regards,
Katia

Yes we have underlay on the landing and it’s glued…the guy in the shop said they don’t do runners on landings because of trip hazards usually, but we had it in our last flat and it was fine. And I fell down my stairs a few weeks ago and it was nothing to do with the stair runner! xx

Do you have underlay on the landing? And is it glued or tacked down? I’m doing something similar but the carpet shop and fitter are disagreeing about whether underlay should go all the way to the edge and risk being seen slightly at the edges or just as far as the taping but I’m worried that’s an extra trip hazard. I said I’d do some research and tell them what I want when they come back with the taped runner! X

I was actually asking about the colour code of the carpet, but I didn’t phrase my question well. I’ve now seen that you’ve said in a reply to a previous post what the product colour is (boucle 1810). Sorry that I missed that. I’ll contact Higher Ground about the tape.

You might like to know that several carpet websites I’ve looked at say that that the Pampas boucle carpet is moth-resistant, so the moths will just have to go somewhere else to breed. ;o)

I think I have referenced the name of the carpet in the copy – pampas boucle….and if you call Hugher Ground they can let you know which taping it is 🙂 x

Your stairs and landing are just beautiful! Like you, we had been looking at Roger Oates runners for the stairs and landing of our house, but with three T-junctions on the landing we had reluctantly decided that the result would be too messy. The cost was also a consideration! Your solution, using striped taping, is such a good idea. I hadn’t realised that striped tape existed – our local carpet shop never suggested it. We also love the Kersaint Cobb carpet you chose; from the photos it looks as if it would go well with our stripped-pine hall floor. Are you able to tell us the product numbers/codes of the of the taping and carpet that you used? We’d like to get some samples of these. Many thanks. :o)

Yes, it can be a trip hazard I suppose, and it has its issues with which rooms it runs into with a threshhold but it has worked here, and we love it x
